State inspectors praise wastewater plant upgrades; operations report positive
Summary
Town staff told commissioners that state inspectors were impressed by recent upgrades at the wastewater treatment plant, and staff reported generally normal operational metrics with one day of slightly low chlorine in July.
Superintendent Steve said the plant is "limping along as usual" but that recent investments — including a new variable-frequency drive (VFD) — have improved dewatering and performance. He told the commission that state inspectors toured the plant and "were very impressed with the amount of work that we've done" in upgrades and operations.
Steve also reported continued operational oversight at field sites while crews perform service connections at Tilden, and he described steps taken to ensure curb stops and valve boxes are accessible and protected in the lane of traffic rather than in driveways. "We're trying to make sure everything's done right and comes out right," he said.
