Town approves water-department contracts, emergency compressor purchase and sludge-hauling award
Summary
The board awarded 2026 sludge-hauling and filtration chemical contracts, approved an emergency purchase of an upsized compressor for the DAT Water Filter Plant for $22,499, and approved related water-system engineering work.
The Town Board approved several items affecting water operations at its May 27 workshop.
Sludge hauling and chemicals: Town engineering staff recommended awarding the 2026 Water Filtration Plant sludge-hauling contract to H.I. Stone & Sons, Inc. at $0.1248 per gallon; the board approved the award. The board also approved a slate of 2026 water filtration chemical bids as recommended for items 1–11 and 13, with item 12 left under further review.
Emergency compressor purchase: After a fire-department response to a malfunctioning air compressor at the Delaware Aqueduct (DAT) Water Filter Plant, the town’s contract operator completed interim repairs. Engineers recommended purchasing a new upsized compressor on an emergency basis from Air Center Inc. for $22,499 to replace aging original equipment; the board approved the emergency purchase.
Other water infrastructure: The board approved authorizing purchase recommendations and contract awards related to Chadwick Lake Filter Plant roof testing and Meadow Hill Tank demolition electrical work as presented.
All motions on water-department procurement and the emergency purchase were recorded as approved by roll-call vote (3 yes; 1 absent).
