Proctor Selectboard approves $395,708 in Synagro invoices for sewer sludge work; lagoon repairs planned
Summary
The Town of Proctor Selectboard approved Synagro invoices totaling $395,708.20 to pay for sludge removal and related work at the wastewater treatment facility; the board recorded lagoon damage to be repaired with held-back funds and said the bond will reimburse the sewer account once complete.
The Town of Proctor Selectboard approved payment of two Synagro invoices totaling $395,708.20 during its Nov. 24 meeting, a move to cover sludge removal work and related repairs at the town wastewater treatment facility.
Selectboard member Albert Wenta made the motion to “sign and approve for $312,094.57 and $83,613.63,” which was approved by the board. The invoices are to be paid from the sewer account because bond funds tied to the project have not yet completed processing; the board noted the bond was approved and the sewer account will be repaid when those funds clear.
Aldrich & Elliott reviewed the WWTF sludge project and reported uneven sludge distribution: Lagoon 1 contained less sludge than expected while Lagoon 2 contained more and suffered structural damage described in the packet as a torn linear. The Selectboard said holdback funds will be reserved to finance summer repairs and that Lagoon 2 will be closed for the winter season while repairs are scheduled.
The board postponed a fuller WWTF discussion until Dec. 9 in hopes a State representative will attend the meeting to review the project details and approval criteria. The motion to approve the Synagro invoices was recorded as approved by the board; no roll-call vote totals were provided in the transcript.
