McCausland council hears continued lift-station problems; mayor to get pump and control-panel quotes
Summary
Public Works told the council the main lift station continues to have problems caused in part by improper items being flushed; staff said a new pump and a control panel are needed and the mayor will obtain price estimates and return with a recommendation.
During staff reports at the Feb. 11 meeting, Public Works reported ongoing issues with the main lift station. Staff said residents continue to flush prohibited items — rags, wipes and feminine hygiene products — and that repeated clogs/damage mean the city needs a replacement pump and a new control panel.
Council did not vote on capital funding at the meeting. Mayor William Gillespie said he will obtain price estimates and bring a recommendation to a future meeting. The minutes record previous repairs and current recommendation for replacement equipment, but they do not itemize estimated costs or a timetable for replacement.
No public comments on the lift station were recorded at the meeting.
