Staff reported the treatment-plant SCADA installation was complete and that one pump station was 99% integrated, with the remaining two stations scheduled for work next week (two days of vendor work were mentioned). Staff described an integration issue between the alarm-calling system and the SCADA: when the external alarm caller escalates, it continues calling the contact list and cannot be silenced from that external caller even if the SCADA alarm has been acknowledged. Staff said they were working with vendors on software and connectivity fixes and that additional Internet and radio work had been performed. Vendors cited in the discussion included AAC (SCADA), Xpedant (electronics) and Wintons (radio work). Staff described the issue as a work in progress and said technicians will return to continue adjustments.

Commissioners and staff emphasized the learning curve during the rollout and the need for the caller/SCADA integration to allow proper alarm acknowledgement. No formal action was taken; staff will continue vendor coordination and report back when the system is fully functional.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sewer Commission 4 8 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff updated the commission that the plant SCADA installation is complete and that vendors will work next week on the remaining pump stations; commissioners discussed unresolved alarm-calling behavior that continues to call contacts after acknowledgement.","taxTitle","Rangeley, Franklin County , Maine","taxId",73952,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6078578,"Commission approves abatement of 1,400 cubic feet for customer at 61 Caddy Lane",65,285000,350000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1&start=285&end=350","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1/thumbnail_285000.jpg","/articles/6078578/Rangeley/Franklin-County/Maine/Commission-approves-abatement-of-1400-cubic-feet-for-customer-at-61-Caddy-Lane","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6078578-88b91c821f9790d675660ac0e93bfb79/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443023&Signature=HYTkpOip~7ETr1A2KdQsA6dSbAp8oMDFRI-RT0Q82f7JUpADTzH9qoIQJx6ep0lrw0Kx617f2lmpMXy9zOVevs8vtvD5ukJ6vdddK~AB9Kqa3kwHbdbWoJkzhx6gTJxhenSD2zjKy~4dr1XcSGuRvbsK7fErznd0WpiikyDkuc9Wi4~6OrY5rqFGzlAPfA8gCMPUdxu84NK3n-yfPlnm8NSfg801duvCRp4KD04afawjKGWRpfZkWVRY9Sn6F7y2lL51tjUIyvdOaM8VsP14qUJuHuH7mZ4Hdq7PreXKiNTOI7sqbsfcwxHOmWE8spqonIzMBJtRt95BIwQI0iow4w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rangeley Sewer Commission approved an abatement of 1,400 cubic feet for a customer identified in the meeting as Mark Pellerin of 61 Caddy Lane.

Staff described the item as a five-year issue: Pellerin installed a second meter about five years earlier (staff said Al was present for the installation) but did not inform the sewer department. Over five years the meter produced 1,400 cubic feet of billed usage; staff calculated the amount as about $112. Commissioners discussed abating the charge to resolve repeated complaints from the customer.

A motion to abate the 1,400 cubic feet was made and approved by the commission. Staff and commissioners did not specify further billing or procedural changes in the meeting record.","The commission voted to abate 1,400 cubic feet of sewer billing for customer Mark Pellerin at 61 Caddy Lane after staff said the usage followed installation of a second meter that was not reported to the sewer department.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6078583,"Rangeley Sewer Commission approves purchase of 25-kW generator for $46,000",54,208000,262000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1&start=208&end=262","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1/thumbnail_208000.jpg","/articles/6078583/Rangeley/Franklin-County/Maine/Rangeley-Sewer-Commission-approves-purchase-of-25-kW-generator-for-46000","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6078583-dd2db97a146728761cf91cc96f02c94a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443023&Signature=WtbXSaLLiP2CzOQ-KKXfhA05oc2LScy0zfQVJ4jcj1sGFBqPgKPebEnHbXUA83dk4U4w4z8zpBPumAkO79XmWqbeIHozpBRkXyvWe~IB-TYcGtDtk0liJR1cf3tr2Zq4orm6QK9PbVG2Tlout84hyAUvUgdcjfT0Y-hlLqdcG5rBTR~PEEyJs5C0CK3MWZsMAqIripo909dmX58erNzI2fRFpNCUVbCHl6~k7Vn3LyvtAwbt5sC4YG0E0cV2onvfO9Yn~--R2GdSnEZTZFU2U-crRc1wNuyVy4bUPYc97HTuSuIq9H5byRiOPJxlFPU1DtmYliajXWM40RS-umdarQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rangeley Sewer Commission approved a purchase order for a 25-kilowatt portable generator at $46,000.

The commission moved and seconded a motion to approve the purchase order and voted in favor.

Staff said they are obtaining quotes from electricians to complete connection and hookup. Commissioners also discussed that the town still has funds available from the original appropriation to cover hookup and related costs.","The commission approved a purchase order for a 25-kilowatt portable generator at $46,000, with members noting the purchase came in under the $50,000 budget; quotes for electrical hookup remain outstanding.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6078588,"Rangeley Sewer Commission closes rate-increase hearing after presenting proposed increases",105,31000,136000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1&start=31&end=136","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2959365-27355c10c8164baa470641107ceec6f1/thumbnail_31000.jpg","/articles/6078588/Rangeley/Franklin-County/Maine/Rangeley-Sewer-Commission-closes-rate-increase-hearing-after-presenting-proposed-increases","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6078588-1b6038d3cdefef77d3853ab5775465b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443023&Signature=UbbeSFwgJPuIg1ZryK7a6OXVi3uRJEIkbSpB1SOPM0cAZdKFim3OUewJEMnitTgXaG-tsDCSy1fVa4rFfatfDd8GZANbcrrvKzsWD1wrhyxlKPKs-KlSM0DzhytSZSnphvREEynK7-Tbeag9-TSVH3uKEZzNPDxWNOTauSdKFDTG3odgXDySQ2RdgsAUOhiGFVgXX2eVD9uPoQwLD4IPDTxWgP79rYXYLNUFEAgVK9QdC7S6xLeH4BmVVAfO5GfnCW~ey6yrMw5aRch3sFFmR4wqQGFqx4oUt6qYoLAXS18gJpUcqhWkEOxE0ltGyUDmzzx5pjpnPLZYLgwbccj8Pg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Rangeley Sewer Commission presented a proposed rate package and closed a public hearing after no members of the public spoke.

The commission said the proposal, based on a fiscal sustainability plan and a rate study by Wright-Pierce, would raise the flat rate from $50 to $55 and increase the user charge from $8.00 to $8.50 per 100 cubic feet. The commission also proposed an annual 3% increase after the initial adjustment to maintain fiscal sustainability. Commissioners said public hearings on the proposal were set for April 8 and May 13.

Commission members recorded that no one spoke during the public hearing and the chair closed the hearing at 5:03 p.m. The presentation and closing were part of the commission’s regular meeting; commissioners did not take further action on the rate proposal at that session.

The rate study and fiscal sustainability plan were cited as the basis for the change; neither a final vote nor an effective date for any change was announced during the meeting.","The Rangeley Sewer Commission closed a public hearing after presenting a proposed rate package that would raise the flat rate from $50 to $55, increase the user charge to $8.50 per 100 cubic feet (from $8), and apply 3% annual increases thereafter; no members of the public spoke.","actionData","errors"]
