Floyd County has moved forward with a $300,750 programme to replace vertical turbine pumps at the Water Department's Morgan Dairy and Burnett Ferry locations.
The Board of Commissioners approved the two awards as part of its October 27 consent agenda, selecting IHC Construction Companies for both jobs.

Together, the projects will replace four pumps with a combined rated capacity of 2,500 gpm across the two sites. The awards will be funded from existing Water Department accounts, and the county said neither requires a budget change.
County documents identified $72,250 in savings on the Morgan Dairy procurement and $51,250 on the Burnett Ferry procurement. The combined saving stated for the two awards is therefore $123,500.
The decisions were made alongside the county's acceptance of roads and detention ponds in the Summer Club development onto county maintenance. The accepted assets include Summer Club Boulevard NW, Blossom Boulevard NW and Solstice Boulevard NW, with detention ponds included for Blossom Boulevard and Solstice Boulevard.
The pump awards represent the meeting's principal water-infrastructure spending decision, directing existing utility funds to the removal and installation of equipment at two Water Department facilities.
