Trustee Ramus: Webb Lane pump station electrical failure and Pump 1 'beyond repair' left village short of potable water
Summary
Trustee James Ramus reported a Webb Lane pump station electrical failure, Pump 1 beyond repair and a frozen waterline that left Highland Falls without potable water for 18 days; potable service was restored Feb. 22 and a treatment-cost estimate of $100,000 will be prepared.
Trustee James Ramus told trustees the Webb Lane pump station lost electrical service and required new power; he said Pump 1 "is beyond repair" and that a waterline to the wastewater plant froze during an extreme cold snap, leaving the village without potable water for 18 days.
Ramus said potable service was restored on Feb. 22 and that staff will prepare a $100,000 estimate to cover treatment costs related to the outage. He also said road restoration at the affected site cannot move forward until weather permits. The report prompted no formal vote but was presented as part of routine liaison updates; trustees recognized the need for continued work on plant reliability and infrastructure repairs.
