RES25-3954 A Resolution Approving a Professional Service Task Order from Strand Engineering for Additional Services on the Phase 2 Optimal Corrosion Control Study

Chris Drey, Public Works Director, reminded the board of a previous approval back in 2022 regarding the Village's Corrosion Control Plan. To date, areas throughout the community have been evaluated by harvesting pipes in homes to distinguish a baseline to ensure that once new water is introduced it can be done so without the need for added chemicals and to evaluate chemistry. Engineers evaluated the inner lining of over a dozen resident's pipes,samples are being gathered, and finally they will be shipped to the office of Cornwell in Virginia.
