Garden City Public Works

GARDEN City, June 13, 2013.,Garden City Coucil.   Riley Argyle, Director, Public Works Department reported on activities he has been working on.  He has been helping Danny White, City Administrator, on many items which include: 300 West Road, Heritage Park, Heritage Park Pond, decorative lights, 75 north parking lot and access to the Lake, Bear Lake Gun Range, and the new Kiosk.   

In addition, he reported that the main line water line repair in Lakota has been put off until fall. The project to replace five out-dated meters has just been completed by Darrel W. Anderson.   

The GIS mapping of the city’s infrastructure is moving forward quickly.  All the valves for the south end of the city up to 300 West are done.  They have put about one hundred new points on the map.  Most of the water meters on the south end of town have been recorded and a majority of the fire hydrants are also mapped.    

The water master plan is being handled by JUB.  They want to conduct a flow test in July to add to the water model they are working on.  They need to get the land use maps from White and have asked for all of the GIS data.

There are still two meters left to be installed on the Idaho side.  This will be done as quickly as possible. 

The water treatment plant has been working quite well.  A new door was cut so that items that can be stored inside the plant can be easily placed there and retrieved.  The landscaping is all but complete.  A bit of cleanup and two trees need to be replanted.    There is a broken pump on the sodium hypochlorite line, and power bumps have been setting off the alarms.
