The Carrington Fire Department reported 3 accidents at the end of July and beginning of August. The accidents were out of city limits and 2 out of 3 were on Highway 281. The Fire Department also wants to close off first street from City Hall to the Fire Department for fire school on September 21st-22nd.
The city is in preliminary talks about raising the ceiling of advertising construction contracts from 18k to 50k. Right now anything construction wise under 18k does not need to be advertised on bids, the city wants to raise this limit to 50k because the cost of machinery and workers has increased and it doesn’t take much to get to 18k. The State of North Dakota has a 100k limit.
Carrington residents should be able to make online water payments shortly.
Stutsman County rural water wants to purchase additional water from Carrington, currently under review.
