5 issues in water utilities with medium priority
Utility System Maintenance Purchases
The city was set to buy Airvac parts, renew lab services, and purchase two Mersino pumps — the behind-the-scenes purchases that keep water and wastewater systems running reliably.
Utility and Public Works Contract Renewals
Renewals for pump repair, landscaping materials, and sodium hydroxide keep water, sewer, and street services running for another year.

A resident reported a $125 monthly water bill despite having no garden, dishwasher, or washer, with neighbors' bills also over $100 — water costing more than electricity. She asked the city to look into it.

The contract for the company that handles the city's water and utility billing was up for a novation — meaning a different entity may take over the existing contract. Your utility bill process could be affected.
