Georgetown water and sewer staff report maintenance work, lead-and-copper results and EPA inspection scheduled
Summary
City water and sewer staff reported repairs at the Cayuga plant, finalized lead-and-copper results for mailing to residents, made equipment repairs and scheduled an EPA inspection for Aug. 13, 2025; the council approved the report.
Water and sewer staff told the Georgetown City Council on Aug. 4 that routine maintenance and repairs are complete and that lead-and-copper sampling results have been finalized and mailed to residents as required.
Staff members identified specific repairs and maintenance: replacement of a fan motor and remediation of burnt electrical contacts on an air conditioner at the Cayuga plant; repair of check valve No. 2 at the sludge station; unclogging a valve in the grit washer system; and contacting MSA to repair the gas monitor in the headworks basement. Staff also described ongoing operational tasks: bi-weekly lift station inspections, routine cleaning of trickling filters and glass bowls on pumps, sample testing every Thursday and Friday and result review the following week, and training of a new employee, Melvin.
An EPA inspection was scheduled for Aug. 13, 2025, and staff said they were working through an EPA checklist in advance. Overtime totals for the reporting period were included in the written report. The council approved the water and sewer report as presented (motion by Alder Dennis Davidson; second by Alder Steffanie Lyons; vote passed unanimously 7–0).
No formal action beyond approval was requested; staff will continue preparatory work for the inspection and routine operations. Residents with questions about water testing were directed to the clerk’s office for copies of mailed results.
