Cridersville to bring in AMS trailer to treat lagoon sludge; lift pump replacement planning underway
Summary
Council reported a contract with Advanced Microbial Solutions to deploy a trailer unit to reduce a thick sludge blanket in village wastewater lagoons and said engineers are preparing designs to replace failing lift pumps at the wastewater plant; Global Electric installed temporary power to support the contractor.
Council members discussed immediate and near-term actions to address wastewater-treatment problems at the village plant. Village Administrator Jarid Kohlrieser reported the village signed a contract with Advanced Microbial Solutions (AMS) to bring a trailer unit that will help reduce and clean accumulated sludge in the wastewater lagoons. Global Electric installed temporary power to the lagoon site to support the treatment equipment, and the AMS work is scheduled to begin within roughly a month.
Council also noted engineers are preparing plans and specifications to replace deteriorating lift pumps at the wastewater treatment plant; the minutes characterize those pumps as "in dire need of replacement." No cost estimates or bid awards for pump replacement were recorded in the meeting minutes; council discussion indicated the engineering work is in progress and will precede procurement.
The minutes do not record a formal vote on the AMS contract or the pump-replacement design work; they document administrative actions (contract signing and engineering coordination) and a council update. Additional procurement steps, budgets, timelines, and grant or funding sources for the pump replacement were not specified in the minutes.
