3 issues in water utilities with high priority
Reclaimed water main break on Hollywood Boulevard
A reclaimed water main broke at Hollywood Boulevard and Whitman Drive, requiring about $47,000 in emergency repairs. Reclaimed water service in that area could be affected until fixed.
New Sewer Injection Well and Grant Funding
The city's 1986 injection well can't dispose of the concentrate produced by the water plant, so the Council approved a $15.2 million construction contract plus $2.46 million for construction engineering oversight.
Wastewater plant bar screen replacement
The bar screen at the $40 million sewer plant failed, so workers filter manually. A $378,000-class replacement from Cornerstone H2O is now on the way, with a budget amendment to match.
