Dayton board approves $13,870 lift‑station wiring and generator test upgrades
Summary
The Town of Dayton Utility Service Board voted unanimously May 19 to pursue lift‑station upgrades — color‑coded wiring and a generator testing capability — at an estimated cost of $13,870, after staff reported recent maintenance and two options for moving forward.
The Town of Dayton Utility Service Board voted unanimously May 19 to approve upgrades to the town’s sewer lift stations that include color‑coded wiring and equipment to support generator testing, at an estimated cost of $13,870.
Town Manager Kurt Delzer told the board that lift stations were cleaned the week of May 11 by contractor FJF and that staff had prepared two options for ongoing maintenance: continue the current process, or add wiring standardization and a generator testing capability. Delzer also reported that hydrant maintenance and flushing were completed during the same week.
Marc Buhrmester, Town Clerk‑Treasurer, moved to authorize the upgrades under the option that includes wiring and generator testing; Steve Schuhle, Utility Board President, seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
The board did not specify a funding source in the minutes; Delzer said staff would follow up with implementation details and formal quotes as needed. The upgrades are intended to improve the ease of operation and to allow on‑site testing of backup power systems.
