Pine Hill water: town gets rural water loan, evaluates remote monitoring to prevent pump failures
Summary
The board announced a New York Rural Water loan to begin work on Mill Street/Main in Pine Hill, and staff invited a CoStream remote-monitoring vendor to demonstrate equipment to provide turbidity alerts and reduce manual plant monitoring time.
Water committee reports described a recent foot-valve failure that caused a pump to run dry and a seal to melt; staff said they replaced the foot valve but the problem recurred. The Phoenicia/Pine Hill reports urged facility upgrades and remote-monitoring options to detect problems sooner and reduce manual troubleshooting time.
Speaker 4 said the town has secured a New York rural water loan to begin Mill Street/Main work and will invite CoStream to present its remote monitoring proposal; the presenter noted remote alerts could have identified the foot-valve failure immediately and saved roughly 12 hours of manual onsite monitoring. The board agreed to schedule a CoStream demonstration for committee members and other interested board members.
