Leslie Day, Rushville City Utilities facility manager, reported to the utilities board Tuesday that the renovation project at the office is 95 percent complete. He anticipates it’s about two weeks away from completion. Some of the drywall had to be redone, which delayed the project, he said.
The use of the drive-up window was discussed related to the renovation. Action was tabled so data could be compiled again regarding how much the window is used.
Action was also tabled on a claim on West Fourth Street so the sewer camera could be used to determine the source of the problem.
Carole Yeend, director of the Rush County Solid Waste Management District, reminded the board of a $3,000 commitment made to the district for educational purposes; she submitted a request for the funding. She also encouraged a similar commitment again, with the board agreeing to consider it when working on the 2009 budget in October.
Members reviewed an amendment to the city employee handbook. The change calls for paying an employee a minimum of two hours when called out for an emergency.
Day reported the wastewater treatment facility recorded 7.78 inches of rain in June. The peak pumping day for the water treatment plant was 1.234 million gallons on June 11, with average daily using at 0.782 million gallons.
As a result of 11 complaints in June about rusty water, the entire system will be flushed.
Beginning at about 10 a.m. Sunday, Rushville City Utilities/EMC will begin the system flushing. The flushing is expected to be completed by 6 a.m. July 26. There is a chance of “red water” or rusty water during this period. The red water can stain clothing and make water appear unpleasant to drink or bathe in.
