Summary
Commission members said they will continue working with American Berry Company to resolve current issues and warned that if the treatment plant becomes noncompliant with DNR regulations the commission may impose the contractual fine; Brian will check lead time for Lift Station #1 pump ordering as a precaution.
Warrens — At the May 29 meeting, the Warrens Wastewater Commission discussed ongoing issues with American Berry Company and outlined potential next steps if DNR compliance problems arise.
The commission agreed to continue working with American Berry Company to address current issues. Meeting minutes state that if the treatment plant becomes noncompliant with Department of Natural Resources regulations, the commission will take further action, including imposing the fine outlined in the contract; the minutes do not specify the fine amount or exact enforcement timeline.
Separately, commissioners reviewed options for Lift Station #1 pumps. Brian said he will check pump lead times and, if the lead time is long, will order a replacement pump to have on hand as a precautionary measure.
The record contains no detailed timeline for enforcement actions against American Berry and no pump procurement schedule beyond the stated precautionary direction.
