Black Hawk will be receiving $4,500 in emergency funding from the state for the water system, circuit riding City Manager Linda Martin announced at the Black Hawk City Council meeting September 10. Marin said that a letter was sent to the state on August 30 to apply for emergency funding. Word was received the same day of the council meeting that funding would be granted. She explained that the state was very specific in how the funds were to be distributed. Of the $4,500, the state suggested hiring Health Consultants to test all of the water lines for leaks. That will cost approximately $500. The remaining $4,000 is to be used to repair leaking valves and pipes.
Gene Anderle, a Black Hawk resident, was present to address the City Council about his rock wall which he says was knocked down during the construction of a fire hydrant. Anderle said that two letters have been written to City Council about the wall, but he has not received an answer. He said that only the bottom two to three layers of the wall were cemented and the wall will not last. A motion was made to hire Lorenz’s workers who are experienced in competing rock walls to do the work. The motion passed.
