Water and Sewer foreman reports new ramping radar, maintenance issues, and insurance payout
Summary
Foreman Jonathan Armstrong told the council the new ramping radar systems are installed and 'working well'; staff are doing root cutting, rebuilt air-compressor heads, and noted a possible wheel-bearing issue on the sludge truck; insurance paid $7,142.19 for a lightning strike to the generator.
Foreman Jonathan Armstrong reported to the council that "the new ramping radar systems are in and working well," and said the utility is running one pump constantly to help with ramping on and off. He described ongoing root cutting that has improved system performance and said crews rebuilt air-compressor heads.
Armstrong also reported a maintenance concern: the sludge truck may have a failing wheel bearing and will be taken to Northern Illinois Diesel for inspection. He told the council that insurance paid $7,142.19 for damage from a lightning strike to the generator. Armstrong said staff are getting quotes to address ongoing heater issues.
The committee's report was presented as part of routine operations; the council did not take separate action on the items reported.
