(KLZA)-- The Auburn Board of Public Works heard an update during their April meeting on three test holes drilled as potential sites for water well #14.

The tests indicated that one of the sites would potentially be a good site for a well test. The Board approved drilling a test well at an estimated cost of $16,715.

The Board also approved a request form General Manager Dave Hunter to replace Wellhouse #11 at a cost of $3,450 for a foundation and $4,526 for the new building.

Hunter was also given permission to seek potential funding opportunities for a sewer line, lining project.

Also approved was a proposal form Olsson to conduct an ARC Flash Study at a proposed cost of $29,700. In March, an Engineering company had estimated the cost of the study at $49 thousand.

Hunter also updated the Board on material shortages. He said materials with an estimated delivery date of eight to ten weeks out are now estimated at eight to ten months with no guarantees. Meter sockets are now estimated to take up to 60 weeks for delivery.
