09/29/2017

(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council approved the expenditure of more than $112,500 for a new camera system, including a trailer, control room and mechanical room during the September 18th meeting.

The Board of Public Works recommended the purchase be approved.  Utility Superintendent Alan Romine told the Council the camera system is very valuable to the Utility Department to be able to look at cracks in the system, check on water infiltration and determine were repairs are requited. 

The current camera system was purchase used, in 2008. The unit is beginning to have some issues.

The new system is on a 7-foot by 12-foot trailer. It includes an attached control room and mechanical room that includes heating and air conditioning so it can be used year round.  In addition, there is 1,000 feet of camera cable and the unit has it’s own power supply.  

The unit will be purchased from Mid-Iowa Equipment Company and will be paid for in the 2018 fiscal year budget.
