5 issues in water utilities with medium priority
Cellular service gaps in east San Luis
A family's scare when a teenager's phone signal stuck at one location during a park visit highlighted poor cell reception in the east side of town, where new housing keeps growing. The resident asked the city to proactively push carriers for better coverage as a necessity, not a luxury.
Backup generator at San Luis High School lift station
A new backup generator keeps sewage flowing at the high school lift station during power outages. Low bid came in at $109,645.90.
US 95 water and sewer main design
The council hired Core Engineering for $93,558 to design about 1.5 miles of water and sewer mains along US 95 — the next step in a $1.2 million federal grant project with local match, supporting growth along the highway corridor.
Water system improvements
The city needs a permanent easement across land it doesn't own near the detention facility to build a water line loop at Avenue D and County 23.5. The connection makes the water system more redundant and reliable for residents.
Irrigation fees on homes without irrigation access
A resident reported homes on Morrell Avenue being billed thousands by the Yuma Water Association for canal water they can't use — bills reaching about $5,000. The council took no action but the issue was aired.
