Well 8 Water Treatment Carbon Replacement
A $113,601 contract was scheduled to replace granular activated carbon in the water treatment system at Well 8, keeping the well's water treatment functioning.
Smoke Shop Regulations
Turlock is moving from a temporary moratorium to a permanent permit system for smoke shops — with security requirements, police-accessible surveillance, training, and 1,000-foot buffers from schools and parks. Public speakers pushed for broader rules covering all tobacco retailers, and the council capped new permits at one per district.
