Township committee recommends replacing sewer inspection camera; three-year financing proposed
Summary
A sewer committee recommended buying a replacement sewer camera (Envirosight-style rover) after demonstrations of competing products; cost quoted at $89,469 with an option to finance resulting in an estimated annual payment of $4,426.30 over five years (36 months financed, five-year repayment allowance).
The township's sewer committee recommended on June 9 that the township replace its nonworking sewer inspection camera with a new Envirosight-style rover. Committee members shared that a repair estimate for the existing unit was approximately $35,430, but demonstrations of replacement equipment showed the proposed unit was closer to the township's prior specification and capabilities.
The vendor quoted a purchase price of $89,469 and offered a financing plan that would amortize the equipment over 36 months while permitting a five-year repayment schedule; the committee calculated an estimated cost-share payment of roughly $4,426.30 per year. Committee members favored replacement for reliability and long-term operational capacity.
Staff said they would finalize procurement paperwork, track financing terms and coordinate budget and amortization details with the township's finance office. Commissioners did not record a formal award at the June 9 meeting; the committee recommended procurement to the board for authorization at a future vote.
