Town updates: lift station repairs, sewer camera work scheduled and water testing back in compliance
Summary
Staff reported a lift-station control-box issue (a screw backed off a magnet), scheduled sewer camera and jetting work at the Iowa intersection to find an obstruction, and said the town resolved a water-testing reporting error and is back in compliance with EPA guidelines.
Town staff updated trustees on multiple water and sewer operations items: a failed lift station control component, scheduled sewer camera/jetting work to locate an obstruction, and a reporting irregularity for a quarterly water test that has been resolved.
Speaker 3 described a screw that had backed off in a magnet assembly on a control box in a lift station; electricians visited and a temporary manual mode was used while pumps ran. Staff warned the control panel is old and may require replacement and said they are monitoring the panel's remaining service life.
Contractors are scheduled to run a camera and jet the sewer lines at the Iowa intersection to identify a hard obstruction heard about 20 feet into the pipe; staff said the camera would arrive the next morning and that jetting would be attempted first, with the camera used if jetting does not clear the issue.
Speaker 6 reported the town received a reporting notice for the quarterly water test because the sample had been taken in the middle of the quarter rather than the last month; after coordination with the regulator the town submitted the correct quarterly sample and is back in compliance with EPA reporting rules.
Next steps: crews will perform the jetting and camera inspection, staff will obtain quotes if control-panel replacement is recommended, and staff will continue to monitor water system tests and regulatory reporting.
