ALBERTVILLE CITY COUNCIL July 6, 1998 Page 2 of5 City Engineer Peter Carlson reviewed the Joint Powers Water Board's policy prohibiting dead-end water mains in excess of 650 feet. Carlson is looking for direction from the Council regarding what is to be considered a dead-end water main. Carlson feels the Joint Powers Water Board should not make the determination on what is a dead-end water main, as the restriction of 650 feet on all dead ends will make it impossible to eventually loop the watermains, which is the ultimate goal. The Joint Powers Water Board's concern is that the water in the dead-end mains will become rusty and lead to complaints from residents served by the main. Carlson recommended that complaints of rusty water should drive the flushing policy, so that the mains are flushed where rusty water occurs. Councilmember Vetsch asked Carlson to draft a letter to the Joint Powers Water Board regarding his concerns for the Council to review at the next regular meeting. . The Council considered the proposed amendment to the Joint Powers Authorization & Operating Agreement.
