Approve Purchase of Public Works Department Water Truck For many years,the Public Works Department has been renting a water truck to assist in the maintenance of the City's gravel roadways. The application of water to gravel roads is critical to the success of the City's chloride dust control program. In the past,when there is insufficient moisture in the gravel,the City has been forced to rent a water truck to assist in this maintenance activity. This truck rental can be quite costly for the city. Over the past five years,the City has spent$47,062.37 on the rental of the water truck.
