Board flags maintenance issues: non-stainless bolts on rake assembly and blower three still out
Summary
Board members highlighted a maintenance failure on the clarifier—s rake assembly—bolts were not stainless—and discussed that blower three remains out of service; staff said the bolts dated to the original project about six years ago and will need replacement, and members asked for a blower-three update at the next meeting.
Board members raised operational concerns about plant maintenance during routine reports, citing a failed rake assembly bolt and ongoing repairs to blower three.
A board member noted staff—s maintenance notes that "they had to redo the rake assembly. I guess it was off cuz the bolts weren't stainless," and asked whether the issue represented installer negligence or normal wear. Staff replied that the bolts dated to the original project about six years ago and that replacements are needed as part of ongoing upkeep.
Members also discussed blower three, with staff saying blowers one and two are operational and can run the plant, but that restoring blower three is important for redundancy. A member asked that Jeremy provide a targeted update on blower three at the next meeting so the board can track progress and resolution.
The discussion produced no formal actions beyond the board—s request for follow-up; no public commenters were recorded on the maintenance items.
