Summary

Superintendent Jason told the board an inflow pump failed and the replacement cost was $11,850; staff reported sewer-camera inspections on a 160-foot sewer main and four new sewer hookups drafted for review.

During the superintendent’s report, Jason said one inflow raw pump had failed and that the cost to rebuild approached the cost of replacement; the new pump cost was $11,850. He reported a camera inspection on a 160-foot sewer main north of Mountain Street between Eaton and Bridal Street and identified two laterals at Lot 3839 where Miller Pipeline had cross-bored the laterals; NIPSCO responded and repaired both laterals.

Jason also said he inspected and prepared drawings for four new sewer hookups (1247 Roosevelt; East Henry Drive; 1301 Shore Drive) and noted three work orders to check sewer mains at specific addresses. He recommended follow-up on the lateral repairs and replacement planning for aging lift-station components.
