The meeting was held on December 6, 2024.
The meeting began with the approval of the November 6, 2024, meeting minutes.
The board approved the purchase of a 4″ and 6″ Honda Trash Pump Machines. Rick Denney requested for the purchase of both pieces of equipment due to the breaks that they are encountering. The 6″ machine was estimated to cost $16,977.56 and the 4″ machine was estimated to cost $5,340.94. Both machines include their own trailer to be pulled behind a vehicle.
Rick Denney and Zach Wirrig spoke about the 10″ water main break that occurred over the weekend. This was traced and fixed, however during the situation it was discovered that on Michigan Road there was a few places that had begun to deteriorate and underneath it was discovered that there was crushed sanitary lines, and the storm sewer is bad. The city of Greensburg is working with the state of Indiana to create an emergency plan to correct this. At this time, they are expecting to close Michigan Road beginning on Monday December 9, 2024, and tentatively planned to last 5 days.
Zach Wirring, Director of Public Projects came to the board to provide an update on the Park Road water main upgrade plans. He said that HWC is working to get the designs created for the project.
The water board thanked the Water Department for all of their hard work with all of the water main breaks and other ongoing issues.
The meeting was adjourned.
