Board approves $6,475 purchase to restore wastewater UV lamps
Summary
The park board approved buying 20 replacement lamps and 10 protective sleeves for the municipal UV disinfection system at a total cost of $6,475 to address discolored sleeves and nonfunctional lamps that are needed to control bacteria before discharge.
Public-works staff told the Buckner Park Board that discolored protective sleeves and failed lamps on the city’s UV disinfection system need replacement to restore the system’s bacteria-control function.
The board approved purchasing 20 lamps and 10 sleeves from the proprietary vendor that supplied the system for a total price of $6,475. A staff presenter said the sleeves protect the lights and that warmers and lamps must be replaced to get the system back to full operation.
Board members asked procedural questions and then moved and approved the expenditure by voice vote. Staff said the system treats bacteria before discharge to the creek and that the vendor-supplied parts are proprietary.
Staff will arrange procurement and installation to return the UV system to full operational status.
