Village approves wastewater pump, awards ballpark roof contract and hires sewer camera inspection; lead pipes flagged for replacement
Summary
Trustees approved multiple maintenance and capital items: purchase of a chemical pump for $925, awarded the ballpark pavilion roof contract to John Klein for $7,780, hired Tom Kleiber to camera the sewer main, and authorized security cameras at the sewer plant; McLimans reported lead pipes found on Canal Street and cited upcoming state replacement requirements.
Trustees reviewed a set of maintenance and capital recommendations and approved several actions to address immediate and near-term needs. After comparing three quotes for a Stenner variable series chemical pump, the board voted to buy the Hawkins Incorporated pump for $925. "The pump was critical, and failure would cause significant problems," trustees said when approving the purchase.
The board also awarded the ballpark pavilion roof to local contractor John Klein for $7,780 and directed work be completed this fall; Clerk/Treasurer Shawna Atterbury said "there was $7,126.50 remaining in the ballpark light fund" that could be used toward the project. Trustees approved hiring Tom Kleiber to camera the sewer main along the main highway to the wastewater plant (minimum 1,000 feet for $1,000). McLimans reported that lead pipes were discovered during work at Trannys Plus on Canal Street and noted the state will require replacement of galvanized and lead pipes within the next 10 years, with the DNR possibly accelerating that timeline. Trustees also approved purchasing solar security cameras for the sewer plant to deter unauthorized water use.
