KEARNEY — The city will proceed with plans to improve the water system at Kearney Regional Airport.
At
its regular meeting Tuesday, the council voted 4-0 to apply for a
$365,000 state revolving loan from the Nebraska Department of
Environmental Quality to fund the improvements. Mayor Stan Clouse was
absent.
The improvements will include installing 6- and 8-inch
water mains to replace problem areas and reduce pressure to older mains,
said Chris Miller of Miller and Associates in Kearney.
“There’s a
couple water mains that need to be replaced,” Miller said. “This is
part of a long-term plan we’ve been working on. We’ve had some issues
with some older water mains, and we’re replacing them.”
Specifically,
the airport water system improvements include installing a
pressure-reducing valve in Piper Avenue; replacing a broken water main
under Airport Road south of Delux Manufacturing; replacing a
poor-quality water main east of Airport Road from the Kearney Volunteer
Fire Department building; and replacing a poor-quality water main east
of Airport Road from the Kearney Aviation Center.
If the loan is approved, it should cover the entire cost of the project, Miller said.
