Public works reports bypass pump repairs, Main Street paving and tractor-repair estimate of $10,925.85
Summary
Public works reported a temporary bypass pump was installed after a primary lift station shutdown; crews scheduled sampling and expected Main Street concrete work to be ready for paving within a week. Staff gave a repair estimate of $10,925.85 for a 2006 Kubota tractor and said they would price replacements.
Jesse, the town's public works representative in the transcript, told the board crews had to bypass the primary lift station after a shutdown and installed a bypass pump; crews replaced terminal blocks and returned the system to normal operation while keeping a bypass unit on site for another week for monitoring. "Annual sampling scheduled for next Monday, the 3rd," Jesse said while summarizing operations.
Jesse also reported heavy maintenance costs on a 2006 Kubota tractor, saying the town has spent roughly $6,700 in repairs so far and that a full repair would be "$10,925.85" if carried out. Board members asked staff to price a comparable replacement so the board could weigh repair against replacement costs before authorizing more spending.
