Home My WebLink AboutDocumentation_Regular_Tab 10B_12/14/1995 MEMORANDUM TO: Thomas G. Bradford, Village Manager FROM: Thomas C. Hall, Water System Manager AO DATE: November 16, 1995 SUBJECT: Cleaning of Raw Water Pipeline Recent inspection of our raw water pipeline between Well No. 7 and Old Dixie Highway has revealed a substantial build up of iron bacteria and sludge on the walls of the pipe. This build up has accumulated since our last cleaning in 1989. Although not as bad as last time, there is enough build up to cause a reduction in flow capacity from wells seven and eight. This restriction is reducing our ability to maintain full capacity from these wells and needs to be corrected as soon as possible. In light of this need, I have obtained a proposal from Professional Piping Services, Inc. of Land 0' Lakes, Florida in the amount of $7,920.00. This is the same company which performed this work for us in 1989 and is the only Florida based firm providing these services. We are seeking Village Council authorization to expend these funds for this work and would appreciate this matter being placed on the Village Council Agenda of December 14, 1995 for approval. Funding will be provided by the Water Enterprise Fund, Operating and Maintenance account having an FY '96 Account balance of $46,573.00. Upon approval, a purchase order will be issued and the Contractor has indicated work will commence the week of December 18th. TCH/mk Attach. PROFESSIONAL PIPING SERVICES, INC.
