Home My WebLink AboutFire Department Water Softener for Station 7 ��''LOYALIY Meridian Fire Department Memo TO: City Council Members, Mayor Simison and Finance FROM: Charlie Butterfield—Deputy Chief of Administration SUBJECT: Budget Amendment for Water Softener at Station 7 DATE: 2/14/2025 CC: During routine maintenance at Fire Station 7, we noticed an increase of hard water buildup throughout the station. The water calcification is currently affecting appliances, sink, showers, etc. Investing in a water softener sooner than later will help extend the lifespan of essential equipment, reduce operational costs and enhance overall station efficiency and avoid any additional calcium buildup in the plumbing. Pictures are provided to show current calcium buildup. See Appendix A for pictures showing calcium buildup. Meridian Fire Department 33 E.
