City Approves $68K Fencing for Purple Pipe System Safety
The City Council approved Resolution F504, a change order proposal totaling $68,816.22 plus tax and contingency, for fencing around control structures of the purple pipe distribution system.

Well #3 Suffers Damage from Power Surge; Swift Repair and Community Cooperation Prevented Major Water Shortage
Dan Ferguson reported on the well number three issue caused by a power bump on July 5th. The quick fluctuation, which bypassed the normal shutdown sequence, caused a coupler in the pump's drive rod to break. The repair took two days due to the fortunate location of the break in the upper section. Ferguson commended Specialty Pump Service and the water department staff for their work. He highlighted the critical role of Eastern's cooperation in providing water via the inner tie, which maintained reservoir levels during the irrigation season and prevented potential public health and fire safety risks. The administration's swift public notification and the public's water conservation efforts were also acknowledged.
