2 issues in water utilities
96th Street flood repair water main
The flood took out a water main feeding the wastewater treatment plant; the city has been getting water there through fire hoses down 96th. A permanent six-inch main is now under contract, targeted for completion before winter.
Water softening program
Board member Potasnik asked how the salt purchase works with residential softening; the city pre-softens all water to 8–10 grains hardness, and homeowners soften further if desired.
