Water leak detected behind hospital spills 60000 gallons daily

During a recent government meeting, officials addressed a significant water leak detected behind a local hospital, estimated to be leaking approximately 60,000 gallons per day. The leak was found on the hospital's side of the meters, which had not been previously identified in the municipal system. This incident raised concerns about the financial implications, as the leak resulted in increased costs for chemicals and pumping. Fortunately, the hospital has since repaired the leak, which had been discharging directly into the storm sewers.

The meeting also included discussions regarding the street department's agenda, where officials moved to approve the department's vouchers. A motion was made and seconded, with no major issues raised during the discussion. The motion passed unanimously.

Additionally, the council considered bids for the 2024 Odey Street sidewalk project, with relevant information provided during the meeting. Further details on the project are expected to be discussed in future sessions.
