Water tower back online; Jackson moves ahead on terra‑cotta pipe project and equipment purchases

Public works maintenance supervisor Matt Leggett reported that the town’s water tower project is complete: "The tower is back on line. It is pained and finished." He said some remaining issues are being addressed and that a man‑lift station and aerators are arriving soon. Leggett added that federal grant contracts for a terra‑cotta pipe replacement were signed and specifications were being prepared for bid.

Leggett also said the town intends to use a grant from Pennington to acquire an excavator and trailer and has received approval on a blighted property grant. Council did not record a motion to appropriate new funds at this meeting; the discussion focused on project status and next procurement steps.
