The Village of Bluffton Council held a regular meeting on April 9 which included reports on how recent and future rains are impacting the village.

VILLAGE ADMINISTRATION
Assistant Administrator Bryan Lloyd spoke about the performance of the water treatment plant on April 2, when flood conditions closed College Ave. at Riley Creek. He reported that pump speeds were raised to 5.5 million gallons per day (nearing the maximum of the plant design) and that they have never been pushed that hard before. No overflows or backups were reported.

The March 25 regular meeting of the Bluffton Council presented a gallery full of people including Boy Scouts from Troop 256, an admittedly unusual condition for these meetings. The Scouts were introduced to the Village Councilors and to the staff in attendance.

The Village of Bluffton has announced the following public meetings for the council and its committees.

Please note that the next Village Council meeting has been moved from the regular Monday date to Tuesday, April 9 at 7:00 p.m. to avoid possible issues with the eclipse.
