Water plant operator reports bacterial retest OK; chlorine pump replaced after failure
Summary
Worth County water plant operator reported a bacterial sample required retest under DNR rules returned normal and said a chlorine pump had failed and was replaced quickly after being obtained from an outside supplier so the plant could resume normal operation.
At the meeting, the county water plant operator (identified only by first name in the transcript) reported operations updates to the board: a bacterial sample that had tested positive earlier was retested in February in accordance with Department of Natural Resources requirements and "everything came back fine," the operator said. Work on trench drains at the plant was underway.
The operator also reported a chlorine pump failure the prior week. After attempts to obtain a replacement from another vendor did not succeed, the operator said he drove to a vendor (name in the transcript rendered as "Vasco"/"VESCO" and a location rendered as "Channahaslin") to obtain and install a new pump; the plant was returned to service and "everything's cruising." The operator said staff have been contending with ongoing chemical-pump issues but described plant status as "in very good shape" following the repair.
Ending: The operator and board recorded the operational updates; no citations, vendor contracts, or warranty details were provided in the meeting transcript.
