City Plumbing Secures Deer Trail Drive Water Main Replacement Project
The utility board approved a motion to accept the low quote of $115,000 from City Plumbing for the Deer Trail Drive water main replacement project. This project, previously discussed, aims to address significant issues in the area, including road closures on Art Street. The replacement is planned for July and is considered a high-priority repair. The board noted that while the quote included removing and resetting wood fence, most of this work is expected to be in the parkway and road, not private property. The project is being prioritized due to the age and frequent issues with the existing main.
Utility Board Approves Funding for DPW Replacement Dump Trucks
The utility board approved a motion to contribute funds towards the acquisition of two replacement dump trucks for the Department of Public Works (DPW). The total cost for the trucks from Trans Chicago Truck Group, excluding snow removal equipment, is $542,726. The water and sanitary utilities are each to contribute a not-to-exceed amount of $137,000. One truck will be equipped for snow removal, while the other will be for general public works functions. WA Jones was excluded from the bidding process due to submitting a non-responsive bid.
Utility Board Tables Decision on Resident's High Water Bill Request
The utility board discussed a resident's request for a credit on her water bill due to a running toilet. The resident, Mrs. Rodriguez, explained that she was unaware of the issue while caring for her grandson and that the high bill was received late. The board acknowledged past practices of providing credits for water not entering the sanitary system but noted this situation involved water used and sent to the sanitary system. Concerns were raised about consistency and objectivity in granting credits. The matter was ultimately tabled for further discussion and to establish clearer parameters for future requests.
