Volunteer firefighter raises concern over hydrant servicing and information provided to township
Summary
Forbes Road volunteer firefighter Adam Bayura told supervisors the township lacks MAWC service logs listing which hydrants were serviced; Secretary Kelly Otto said the township receives only a $3,000 bill and not a list of serviced hydrants.
Adam Bayura, a Forbes Road volunteer firefighter, asked the Salem Township Board whether the township receives a list from MAWC (Municipal Authority/Water Company) indicating which hydrants were serviced. Secretary Kelly Otto responded that the township receives only an aggregate invoice for hydrant service (a $3,000 bill) and not a detailed list of serviced hydrants. Bayura said firefighters are observing many hydrant issues; the board recorded the concern during the expenditures discussion but did not take formal action or direct staff to obtain a service list that night.
The exchange was recorded as part of the finance and public safety discussion; no procurement or operational directive was made on the record.
