Summary
Ludlow's wastewater treatment plant treated 8.7 million gallons in May 2026 (down from 13.5 million last May), cleaned two clarifiers and will run one for the summer; staff noted a recent hire left and an assistant operator position is open.
Staff reported that the Ludlow Wastewater Treatment Facility treated 8.7 million gallons of wastewater in May and completed cleaning two of three clarifiers, prompting a plan to run only one clarifier through the summer.
The report compared May 2026 flow (8.7 million gallons) with May 2025 (13.5 million gallons). Staff noted that "May was a pretty quiet month at the treatment plant and throughout the collection system and we hope that will continue throughout the summer." The department also announced that Glenn passed his Grade 1 Wastewater exam but that the most recently hired employee has left and an ad is posted for an assistant operator.
Officials told trustees that all equipment is working within permit limits and that numbers are within permit limitations.
