Well pump needs replaced

PALOUSE – Palouse could pay $2,000-$3,000 for a new well chlorine pump.

Public works Superintendent Mike Wolf told the city council the chlorine pump for well three broke and need replacing.

It adds liquid sodium chlorine to the water to make it safe.

Palouse has backups for all of the well pumps, but Wolf said the city should replace the broken one.

Wolf reported public works repaired a flood gate after it was found to be stuck due to a broken switch. Crews repaired the switch to avoid it from happening again.

Another repair is planned for part of Park Street, where a vehicle drove off the road and damaged the street, according to draft meeting minutes.
