A $17,000 task order on the south water tower in Washington was approved by the council at their recent meeting.

The work includes inspection of the painting of an overcoat on the water tower that had been left out of the contract with FOX Engineering. Such work had been included in the north water tower project’s contract. Councilmen Kerry Janecek and Brendan DeLong expressed their frustration, with DeLong saying, “This is the second thing they’ve missed that’s cost us a big amount. I would make sure they know how displeased we are, again.” In December, the council had a $60,000 work change directive for the water treatment plant due to a “design oversight.”
