Summary
The Board of Public Service received recommendations for emergency work at the Chain of Rocks water treatment plant, including fabrication of valve parts and air-quality monitoring during asbestos abatement; estimated costs were listed but no formal vote to approve emergency declarations was recorded in the transcript.
At its Sept. 2 meeting, the Board of Public Service was presented with recommendations that the board declare emergency actions to repair and perform maintenance work at the Chain of Rocks water treatment plant. The recommendations were read by staff on behalf of the director of public utilities.
Staff described three items: fabrication and installation of parts for an existing 36-inch butterfly discharge valve in the primary building (estimated cost $25,000); air-quality testing during asbestos abatement of cooling water lines in the south pump pit (estimated cost $8,000); and vacuum breaker maintenance on Pump 5 at Chain of Rocks (estimated cost $7,200). The items were presented as emergency actions with the listed cost estimates.
The transcript does not show a roll-call vote or a motion to approve these emergency declarations during the Sept. 2 meeting. Acting Chair Director Greg Hayes presided; no speaker in the transcript moved or seconded a motion on these emergency recommendations within the provided excerpt.
