7 Days until Election Day, issue of the day; Utility Infrastructure. You can find out more about my ideas on the issues of interest to Golden Valley Residents on my website: https://andysnope.com/issues/
I will examine our utility infrastructure and ensure that we are working with other entities to provide an assured delivery of services of water, gas and electricity especially during emergency situations.
After the recent severe weather this past spring, Golden Valley experienced a very close call with our water delivery system. A water main collapsed in Robbinsdale, and the backup power source failed at one of the pump houses that provide water service. Crews worked feverishly to restore power and put the pump house back online. I think it is important that we analyze this situation, learn from it and take the proper steps to make sure we have built in the proper redundant safeguards to protect our water supply.
