Equipment purchases approved in McDonough

The McDonough City Council approved a $91,000 contract for work at the Richard Craig Park booster pump station. The vote took place at the council’s Jan. 4 regular meeting.

According to a city staff report, a small booster pump will be installed at the elevated storage tank which will improve water quality and increase available water storage capacity. The cost of the work will be paid from the water treatment plant’s budget. The council also approved at $12,000 per year the renewal of a software program related to video streaming of meetings, and a $19,425 expenditure for technological costs within the city’s water meter reading system.
