The Altoona Water Authority will consider whether to contribute $30,000 toward replacement of defective rubber dams installed in 2018 on two reservoirs — a contribution requested by the Utah company that arranged for the original installation.
HTE Engineering has agreed in principle to make the authority whole for the problem project, after the dams manufactured by a Chinese firm malfunctioned, but the small Utah company has been struggling with the cost of the do-over, especially given higher expenses connected with the new dams being made by a different Chinese supplier, tariffs that weren’t in place on the original products, shipping costs and now complications from the corona- virus epidemic, said authority staff engineer Mike Sinisi.
