Council approves $28,656 payment for oxidation-ditch repairs after IDEM violation
Summary
Council approved payment of a $28,656 invoice for oxidation-ditch repairs tied to a September failure and an IDEM violation; staff confirmed repairs are complete before payment. Vote was unanimous.
The Whiteland Town Council voted to pay a $28,656 invoice for repair work on the wastewater plant's oxidation ditch following an operational failure and subsequent Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) violation.
A plant presenter (speaker 2) explained the work had been performed after the ditch failed and that crews rebuilt shafts, forks, bearings and end pieces. "This is just the invoice from that project," the presenter said while walking the council through labor hours and repair details.
Councilors asked whether staff were satisfied with completion and whether photos were included in the packet; staff confirmed the work had been completed and that supporting documentation (photos) was available in the packet. A motion to pay the invoice was made, seconded and approved by roll call, with the chair announcing the vote passed 5-0.
The payment will be processed through the voucher packet as part of the town's regular accounts-payable procedure.
