This week, the 10-inch meter developed a signifi cant leak on one of the welds. The Public Works utili- ties crew responded to the leak and the faulty weld was tapped and plugged. This quick repair seems to have solved the prob- lem for the moment. However, the meter will be monitored and if the leak reoc- curs, the 10-inch meter will need to be replaced at a cost of $3,770.
