Hennessey waterline replacements, demolition of daycare building OK’d

Other than questions posed by trustees (see related story) and routine items during the Hennessey Board of Trustees’ monthly meeting, the board last week took two actions: Waterline replacement – Amended a REAP infrastructure grant application to replace waterlines as part of the consent agenda. That new application asks only to replace waterlines for four blocks with fire hydrants along South Dunlap from 4th to 7th streets. An earlier application also called for replacing lines in the alley between Arapaho and Bonita streets between 4th and 5th streets. Town Administrator Tiffany Tillman said they had to make that change due to costs, but are working on an alternate plan for the alleyway lines. These are some of the “worst” lines (1-1/4-inch) in the town, board members learned in earlier meetings. The grant is being processed through NODA.
