St. Helena awards $917,000 contract for water pipe flushing
What happened
St. Helena City Council unanimously approved a $917,000 contract with a New Mexico firm to conduct "zero-discharge flushing" in the city's water distribution pipeline. The project aims to address discolored water, which city staff attribute to built-up iron and manganese minerals. The contract also includes adding video cameras for inspection of about 10% of the system.
