City of Newton Water Committee met Sept. 17.
Here is the minutes provided by the committee:
Present: Larry Brooks, David Brown, Steve Rubsam, Marlene Harris, Tyler Weber, Mark Bolander, Robert Reisner, and Melissa Brooks.
The committee discussed the Power Rake purchase. The Water Department will purchase a power rake for the skid steer. This will be used by all departments. At a total of $8760.00, to be voted on at the council meeting, Tues., September 18, 2018.
The Water plant system control computer is causing some concern. A replacement unit will cost around $10,920.00. The committee decided to try to put this in next year’s budget, unless the system control computer quits, then we will need to purchase a new one.
Dhom Water extension is completed, and will be tested next week.
The Cross Connection surveys were mailed on Sept. 6, 2018.
Water loss is at 8.8 percent, up about 3 percent. Tyler is checking to find what might be causing this.
