Water operator reports vehicle repair, joint water project delay and obsolete meter readers
Summary
Water Operator Williams and Fred DiRisio told the board the service van was towed to West Herr for dealer-only repairs, the joint water project is on hold due to weather, and the village's meter-reading system is becoming obsolete with no current vendor support; the village's 43‑year generator passed inspection.
Water Operator Williams reported a fuel-sensor issue on the service van that Barr could not fix and said the vehicle was towed on Jan. 10 to West Herr for repair. Fred DiRisio said the village assisted Elbridge with a water main break on Route 5, that the Joint Water Project is on hold because of weather, and that the village's meter readers "are becoming obsolete" and may require a new system because vendor support no longer exists. DiRisio also reported the 43‑year‑old generator passed its recent inspection.
The board did not set procurement timelines for replacement meter readers during the meeting. DiRisio's remarks signal a forthcoming operational decision about replacing aging meter‑reading equipment; the minutes do not include cost estimates or vendor names for a replacement system.
