City Hall News: Week of May 24, 2021
Elkins, W. Va., May 22, 2021: The only meeting next week is that of the Elkins Water Board. Work continues on water-meter replacement and sewer/stormwater separation, and a bid has been accepted by council for the city hall parking lot project.
Meeting Tuesday at 4 p.m. in city hall, the Elkins Water Board, which oversees the city’s water system, will hear an update on the water-meter replacement project and review financial information.
The project to replace the city’s water meters is around fifty percent complete. The water meters are being replaced because they are out of warranty and their data transmitters, which send water-usage data to Utility Billing, were beginning to fail. You can learn more about the project and read answers to frequently asked questions here: www.bit.ly/ElkinsWaterMeters
Work on the project to separate sewer and stormwater lines in south Elkins continues. The purpose of this project is to reduce the frequency of sewage overflows to the Tygart Valley River by reducing the number of combined sewer/stormwater lines, which can be overwhelmed by large stormwater events. You can learn more about this project and access a GIS app showing progress toward completion on this page: www.bit.ly/Phase2Sewer
On Thursday, council accepted a bid from Polino Contracting for the city hall parking lot project. The goal of this project is to provide both city employees and the public with a modern, paved, well-lit, aesthetically pleasing parking lot.
