City staff: RAS pump at wastewater plant under warranty; recommends budgeting replacements
Summary
Staff reported a returned- to-warranty RAS pump at the wastewater treatment plant is being rebuilt while a rental pump covers operations; staff suggested the council consider budgeting to replace one pump per year due to storm and flood stresses.
Staff reported a RAS pump at the wastewater treatment plant failed and is under warranty; the vendor plans to pull and rebuild that unit while the city leased a rental pump in the interim. The staff member noted last year the city purchased a replacement pump that cost in the ballpark of $32,000.
Given recent flooding and storm calls that could leave the plant with only one working pump and risk overflow, staff recommended the board consider budgeting to replace one pump per year to reduce operational risk. The board heard the update as part of routine reports and had no further questions.
