Letcher County Water & Sewer District Board October 15, 2026

The Letcher County Water & Sewer District Board met on October 15, 2026. The board approved the September meeting minutes and voted to award a project to the low bidder, Precision of Whitesburg, after receiving five bids; the engineer reported the low bid was within budget. The specific project name is unclear in the transcript. The engineer also reported that a completed project’s one-year warranty began August 17, and that remaining funds could be considered for a chlorine booster station and telemetry. Millstone Phase Two remained in review before a request to advertise, while Cumberland River Phase Four was under Division of Water review and otherwise awaiting funding and related agreements. The board approved payment of engineering bills and the district’s monthly bills; the district reported its water bill was down $22,000 from the prior month.

The board also considered Cumberland River Phase Four funding and compliance matters, including a $500,000 Appalachian Regional Commission grant for regional interconnect and distribution lines, a related budget change, procurement-code compliance, and federal labor and domestic-content compliance documents. Resolutions or motions were presented concerning authorization of an administrative-services contract with Pratt and a HUD relocation-assistance plan; the transcript’s motion details are partly garbled. The board also passed a resolution requested by FEMA. No dollar amount for the awarded bid or the approved bills was stated.
