The Town of Farmington authority approved meeting minutes and heard an operations report for June 2026 showing high removal efficiencies (BOD 98.7%, TSS 99.9%), ammonia averaging 0.8 mg/L and nitrogen removal of 89%, with the plant 62 pounds under permit limits for the month.
The Town of Farmington authority opened its meeting, moved to accept the minutes as read and approved the motion by voice vote.
Staff presented the June 2026 operating report, saying monthly flows were typically about 2.8 million gallons and peaked near 5.5 million gallons during one storm. Treatment removal efficiencies were high: biological oxygen demand removal of 98.7% and total suspended solids removal of 99.9%. Ammonia averaged 0.8 milligrams per liter, and staff reported removing 89% of the nitrogen load; the plant was 62 pounds under its permit limit for the month.
Staff also noted this June was one of the lowest on record for nitrogen, a condition they linked to lower inflows. They said routine summer maintenance on the aeration tank is planned and may be delayed to August or September while the plant continues to run normally.
The meeting included routine operations and maintenance updates—jetting of several named streets, annual crane-truck inspections, fog inspections at multiple sites, and quotes for a spare motor and pump for the media irrigation system. Chair closed the meeting after hearing no new or unfinished business; a motion to adjourn carried by voice vote.
