Council authorizes replacement of Well No. 12 pump; contract amount in minutes appears garbled

Marysville staff told the council that Well No. 12 has declined in efficiency and that the supplier recommended purchasing a new pump rather than rebuilding the existing motor because parts are not routinely stocked. The council discussed the option of returning the old motor for a potential rewind but approved moving forward with purchasing a new pump from the vendor identified in the minutes (Sergeant Drilling).

The minutes include a numeric figure read aloud that appears garbled in the transcript. Because the recorded number in the meeting audio is unclear, council asked staff to provide a verified contract amount for the official record. The motion to proceed with replacement was approved.

Staff said they will evaluate whether the old pump can be rewound and kept as an emergency spare; procurement details and the verified price will be posted once available.
