4 issues in water utilities with high priority
Flores and North Drive Waterline Replacement
Aging water mains on Flores and North Drive will be replaced — about 7,800 feet of new eight-inch pipe plus hydrants and valves — under a contract that came in well under budget.
Waterline replacements and Well 6D upgrades
The city spent another $59,232 fixing Well 10 in Torreon after finding 80 feet of silica sand inside and an acid treatment that failed against iron bacteria. It's the first money spent on the well in twelve years, and staff called it a very good well worth saving.
Well 3A water system upgrade acceptance
The city accepted completed upgrades to Well 6D and awarded contracts to replace aging water lines near the college and in the Ellsworth/Sylvester and Fools Hollow areas — keeping water service reliable across town.
Wastewater Master Plan and 20-Year Sewer Upgrades
The finished wastewater master plan maps sewer capacity through 2046. The existing system is in good shape; upgrades needed soon include line improvements near the treatment plant and along US 60, with most other projects tied to future growth.
