The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL BOA
October 4
Public Works
George has tested all the fire hydrants in the City, found a few that needed some TLC. Reported some difficulty when trying to test, apparently some of the painters last summer did too good a job of applying the paint. If you noticed a fluctuation in water pressure, the water tower has been drained for its 3 year check-up.
George purchased 51 grinders from a city in WI @$150 a piece, apparently the city was doing a citywide replacement program. The storms and power outages in September boosted grinder service calls tremendously, around 50, up from the teens on a regular month. Part of the suspected problem is folks using water during the outage and then when the power kicks in it is throttle up on the grinders and sewer system. This is a public service announcement:
WHEN THE POWER IS OUT, DO NOT USE WATER IN YOUR HOME, INCLUDING FLUSHING! IF YOU INSIST, AND DEPENDING UPON YOUR SITUATION, YOU MAY GET A NASTY SURPRISE...CAN YOU SAY BACKUP? STINKY WINKY.
