Council considers buying a vac truck

Kimball City Council heard a request from the Kimball Water Department for a vac truck, which would be shared by all Kimball utility departments, as needed.

The truck currently being considered includes a piece that will turn water mains off safely, as well. Kimball Mayor Keith Prunty said that each department could benefit greatly from the equipment, and, as budget season approaches, he hopes council can make the purchase happen.

“It is a great piece of equipment that we should have, it would save man hours and is a safer solution for cleaning out drains,” Prunty said.
