q
Water Loss:
What is covered by the
“estimated” water loss column on the report?
(Hydrant flushing, overflows, vaccum truck use, etc.) This helps us find the high impact problems,
stolen water, accidentally tapped public lines, etc.
Is
there a reason we don’t meter ALL of the lines in the city? Can we request that the fire department give
us an estimated number for ALL of the water that they use? The City of Portland loses over 150MGD which
is more than we produce in a year.
q
300 Main Street:
The crosswalks are in,
the contractor has missed a few days due to the weather but feels that they are
still on track for the project timeline.
We have deleted the concrete crosswalk on 3rd Avenue and the
bumpouts on the North side.
q
Is there a possibility that we can keep
the new 4-way stop at jackpot? Many customers
would like to see it continue. Would it
work?
We should look at a 5-10 year
analysis of traffic flow. Then we can
set up a work session to discuss potential solutions to potential flow
problems. Take the master plan home and
study the issues.
q
2003 SCA Grant, Potential Project
Brainstorm:
q
Top of Main Street Hill, the first
block. Can we chip seal this are as a
short term fix?
6th
& Wade, by Leather’s Oil. An overlay
that was done. We should get 20-30 years
use out of a new road. However, after 10
this area is cracking. We should have
done more base work to save the road long term.
The SCA grant will only cover
streets that come through the city from a state highway to a state highway,
connector roads.
The committee feels that we
should try to stay on track with the Main Street idea. We should move forward and try to complete as
much as possible. Randy thinks that
maybe we can do a chip-seal overlay on the 1st and Main block until
we are able to work on that section of street more thoroughly.
