Lindale authorizes up to $70,000 to replace failing lift-station pump
Summary
Utility Director Jon Hall said Pump No. 1 at the Southside lift station was failing to meet demand; the council approved purchasing a new pump with a budget not to exceed $70,000 and authorized evaluation of the old unit for possible refurbishment.
The Lindale City Council authorized the replacement of Pump No. 1 at the Southside wastewater lift station and set a budget "not to exceed $70,000," Utility Director Jon Hall said. Hall recommended purchasing a new pump while removing and evaluating the existing unit to determine whether refurbishment would be cost-effective.
Councilmember Bob Tardiff moved to authorize replacement with the stated budget cap and Sallie Black seconded; the action passed unanimously. Minutes indicate the diagnosis requires partial disassembly, making final repair costs uncertain; council approved the purchase to ensure continued collection-system capacity.
