Waldo utility board: effluent within limits; repairs and equipment installs scheduled
Summary
At its July 14 meeting the Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board reviewed a June operations report showing all effluent parameters met and phosphorus below limits, discussed a Highway 57 manhole repair and pressure-tank installation, and heard a call for an on-site WWTP operator.
WALDO — The Waldo Water & Sewer Utility Board on July 14 reviewed its June utility operations report and heard updates on planned repairs and equipment work while awaiting state review of a phosphorus evaluation required under the board's permit.
The board was informed that all effluent parameters met permit requirements and that phosphorus remained below effluent limits. The board also filed the annual Waldo Operational Evaluation Report on phosphorus as required in the village's WPDES permit and is waiting for a response from the Department of Natural Resources; the board said it will present the DNR sanitary report at its August meeting.
Officials discussed infrastructure work on Highway 57. Contractor Great Lakes told the board it expected to perform a manhole repair the week of July 14 or the week of July 21. A pressure tank installation was likewise scheduled for the week of July 14. The board reported that the cMoM program had been reviewed and audited and that wastewater-plant flow meters were calibrated during the reporting period.
Trustee Mike Hintz urged the board to pursue an on-site wastewater treatment plant operator, saying the village needs an "on-site, boots on the ground" WWTP operator; the board agreed to place a contract review on the next meeting agenda.
The updates come as the village maintains routine monitoring and small capital repairs; the board expects further information when the DNR responds to the phosphorus evaluation at a future meeting.
