Council approves $7,442 pump rebuild for main lift station
Summary
Public Works informed council a main lift-station pump is worn and requested $7,442 for parts to rebuild it; council approved the purchase with an expected 10–12 week lead time, noting work may occur in winter months.
Public Works reported a worn pump at the main lift station that cannot be safely deferred until the new lift station and plant come online. Staff requested approval to rebuild the pump (parts only) at a cost of $7,442 due to evident wear and long lead times for parts.
Danny said the other pumps handle roughly 1,100 gallons per minute while the worn pump moves only about six (as he summarized), emphasizing urgency: “This is to rebuild the pump. This is just the parts. And the sooner the better because, you can see the lead times on there.” Councilor [Mayor (Speaker 1)] moved to approve the Quality Flow quote for $7,442; the council approved the motion unanimously, with staff noting lead time of 10–12 weeks and planned work during colder months.
