Sewer district gets authorization to replace obsolete generator, advances multiple projects
Summary
Logan County Sewer District reported progress on OWDA loan application, site-specific projects and received authorization to purchase a Godwin emergency diesel pump to replace an inoperable 45 kVA generator; Lewistown received a US Army Corps reimbursement of $149,831.
The Logan County Sewer District updated commissioners on several capital and maintenance matters and received authorization to purchase replacement equipment during the Nov. 21 session.
Director Brian Schultz said the Preliminary Engineering Report for the Belle Center Pump Station is being finalized and the district plans to submit a design/construction loan application to the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA) by Nov. 27. Flat Branch Pump Station design changes and bid documents are being prepared, and Orchard/Wolf Island contract defects are being addressed under warranty. The Lewistown project received a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reimbursement of $149,831.
Schultz reported the Indian Trails RV Park expansion proposal would add about 60 sites; review is ongoing and the district warned sewer capacity could be a limiting factor depending on final plans. He said a 45-kW generator is inoperable and obsolete; the board authorized purchasing a Godwin emergency diesel pump as a replacement (motion carried). The minutes record the authorization and related resolution language under late-November agenda actions.
Why it matters: Several projects (Belle Center, Flat Branch, Orchard/Wolf Island) are at design, warranty, or funding stages; timely OWDA loan submission and replacement of aging emergency equipment affect service reliability and capital schedules.
Next steps: Submit the OWDA application by Nov. 27, proceed with bid advertising for Flat Branch, complete warranty repairs for Orchard/Wolf Island, and purchase/commission the diesel pump to restore emergency pumping capability.
