July 14, 2021- Board Meeting
At the July meeting of the OMWD Board of Directors, I supported the award of construction contracts for the rehabilitation and replacement of old potable water lines on Manchester Avenue. The replacements are essential to maintain system reliability. The contracts are put out for public bid, and the lowest responsive and responsible bidder was selected after Board review. The Board also received staff presentations on drought preparedness, and we reviewed District expenditures, among many other items on the agenda this month.
