Hillsborough commission flags contact-tank lining remediation request; operator’s genset removal proposal taken under advisement
Summary
The commission reviewed a vendor QA report saying a contact tank lining fell short of expectations and was asked to permit remediation next season; Commissioner Peter Mellen said the town should not pay for warranty work. An operator proposal to remove an unused pump-station generator was discussed and taken under advisement.
Commissioner Peter Mellen told the Water & Sewer Commission that a vendor’s internal QA field review found the contact tank lining did not meet the vendor’s expectations and that the vendor requested permission to remediate the substandard work, likely next season. Mellen said the commission should not be charged for the warranty remediation and recorded a direction for Administrator Penny Griffin to follow up with the vendor.
Operator Alex Mellen submitted a proposal to remove the unused generator set at the West Main Street pump station in exchange for additional compensation. The commission reviewed the proposal and took it under advisement; the minutes do not record a formal vote, a mover/second, or a timetable for action.
The minutes reflect that the vendor expects to perform remediation under warranty but do not record technical details of the deficiency, estimated remediation cost, or schedule. Administrator Penny Griffin was assigned follow-up responsibility to clarify the vendor’s remediation plan and any potential cost or schedule impacts to the commission.
