Staff reports prechlorinator intermittently sticking at plant
Summary
A staff member reported that the plant's prechlorinator valve is intermittently sticking — typically in the on position — and recommended periodic disassembly and cleaning rather than immediate outside repair.
A staff member reported that the plant prechlorinator has been "sticking from time to time," typically sticking in the on position, and said the unit will require periodic disassembly and cleaning.
The staff member said, "It's still sticking from time to time. Fortunately, it's sticking on instead of off, so that's easier to deal with... We'll have to take apart to clean it periodically, but I think it's better than it was." He said the issue did not appear to require calling outside repair at this time.
Why it matters: a malfunctioning prechlorinator can affect chemical dosing and water-treatment performance. The staff member framed the problem as manageable through routine maintenance rather than immediate replacement.
Next steps: staff said they will continue periodic cleaning and monitor performance; no formal procurement or repair motion was recorded in the transcript.
