MEMORANDUM
TO: All Council Members
FROM: Nan Prushing, Acting Village Manager
SUBJECT: Fire Hydrant Maintenance
DATE: March 6, 1987
A proposal has been received from Washington Township to add painting hydrants
to our contract for an additional cost of $5.00. (We provide the paint.) A
proposal has also been received from another company to provide the same
services at a lesser cost.
I personally feel more comfortable contracting with the fire department as
opposed to a private business. I believe when the Township first approached
us, their concern was arriving on a call only to find a hydrant broken. The
feeling was that they would have better control if they were performing the
servicing themselves. I also think they expressed some concern over liabilities
incurred due to improperly maintained hydrants.
