Hamilton council approves up to $33,000 to replace wastewater plant valve

The Hamilton City Council approved up to $33,000 in additional funds to complete repairs to the wastewater treatment plant's header pipe valves during its Nov. 3 meeting.

Mayor Tammy Lewis Williams told the council that prior maintenance work by the previous administration uncovered an additional problem. The recorded remarks state the crew attempted to rebuild the valve but determined it could not be rebuilt; the council approved purchasing and installing a new valve to remedy the issue.

A motion to approve the expenditure was made and seconded; the mayor called for a vote and the council approved the funding. No roll-call tally was read into the record.

The council did not provide a vendor name, contract number, or timeline for installation in the meeting record. The action authorizes the city to procure the valve and contract for installation up to the approved amount.
