Buffalo City Works Reports Water Line Break
Buffalo City Works Director Les Hook, in his report to the city council, said a water line break happened west of town.
Hook said the break was in a 12-inch PVC transmission line that is the oldest PVC line in the city, and the same one that has consistently had breakage issues over the last 10 years.
The break happened on Sunday, June 13th and water was shut off in the line, which was repaired and turned back on around 11am Monday, June 14th.
Project Engineer Brent Bennett with Nelson Engineering gave a quick update on the city’s projects they are overseeing.
Bennett said the contractor on the Fetterman Street Project is working on the intersection at Klondike as well as Purcell Street to prep for concrete work there.
They have completed the last pour on Burritt near the civic center and it will be opened once the concrete has cured, tentatively expected this week.
The Flatiron project has begun with the contractor cutting the roadway at Cinema Drive to grade, with preparation of installation of the water line there to tie in at the intersection of Flagstaff and Flatiron Drive.
