TO: Mayor and C�ty Council
Ron Moorse, City Administrator

SUBJECT: V4'ater Tanker Replacemerat
BACKGRQllND
The 2008 CI� bUciget i�acludes the purchase of a water tanker at a cost of $125,000. Our current
water tanker was p�rchased in 1989 and is l9 years old. C�rre�tly it has 31,216 miles on it_
While the milea�e on this vehicle is low, the vehicle is caxastantly �nning or idling while in
operatian. Sozne �xarnples of this are watering gardens a�Id trees as well as flooding skating
rinks. The chassis and Qther bady components are rusted and in poor condition.
The px-oposed i�e��� water tanker wi�l provide �nany optic�ns for improved efficiencies in our
Public Works ope�-ations. The biggest efficiency will be tha# t�is truck has �ve under body
nozz�es wl�ich are conErolled i�� th� cab o�the truck by the apera�or for flooding skating rinks.
We will naw be able to �load rinks with one person instead of the two that the current tanker
needs for flooding opez-atio��s. These nozzles will also allow t�s to pre wet streets before street
sweeping to help control dust. This truek will also help in o�r sewer cleaning operatio�� by being
able to be cor�nected to our jetter truck to provic�e additionai water for operatians, and it wiJl be
�sed to flush manlloles.
