Staff proposes quarterly lift-station cleaning contract for 35 stations to reduce SSOs
Summary
Staff described plans for a professional services agreement to clean all 35 lift stations quarterly, converting maintenance from reactive to proactive and helping identify problems earlier; the sewer budget shows a near $500,000 decrease tied to past equipment purchases.
Staff and an agency official said the sewer fund shows nearly a $500,000 reduction from last year, largely because vehicles and equipment were purchased earlier. "This fiscal year we purchased equipment and vehicles, so the sewer budget decreased almost 500,000," Staff member said.
Agency official described a proposed professional services agreement to clean all 35 lift stations quarterly, saying the vendor would provide routine cleaning and act as "a second set of eyes" to identify issues before emergencies occur. "We have 35 of them," Agency official said of the lift stations; staff said the goal is to move to scheduled quarterly cleaning to avoid reactive emergency work.
