Cecilton water report: pump motor replaced; higher monthly flow linked to leaks; Rickards valve repair planned
Summary
Town staff reported a new motor for pump #1 at the Church Street pump station, an above‑normal monthly flow attributed to multiple leaks, and a separate leak at a valve on Rickards that will require contractor repair; water and wastewater plants were reported in full compliance.
Jordan Smith and Heather Perry presented the Town of Cecilton's monthly water treatment plant and water-supply report at the Jan. 21 council meeting.
They reported a new motor was installed on pump No. 1 at the Church Street pump station. The monthly flow reported at the treatment plant was higher than usual; staff attributed the increase to several distribution-system leaks. The presenters stated both the town's water and wastewater treatment plants were in full compliance with applicable permits and requirements, per the report in the minutes.
Separately, staff reported an active leak at a valve on Rickards. The minutes state the town is working to obtain parts and schedule a contractor to perform the repair.
Council and staff did not provide numeric flow readings, compliance documentation, or estimated repair dates in the meeting minutes. Administrator Cooper and Maintenance Supervisor Jackson said staff will arrange parts and contractor work and continue monitoring system performance.
