Superintendent outlines repairs, bids and recommends $2,500 dechlorination diffuser purchase
Summary
Superintendent Zach Bull reported on multiple operations items including an August 4 Hall Street valve repair, reservoir cleaning, hydrant protections, bids for paving and tires, and recommended buying a hitch-mounted flushing diffuser with dechlorination chamber (startup ~$2,500).
Superintendent Zach Bull presented a multi-item operations report at the Aug. 5 meeting. He said one final dig remained on Hall Street to repair a 4-inch main line valve (scheduled Aug. 4, 2026), the upper reservoir was drained and cleaning began July 27, and Shaftsbury DPW mowed around both reservoirs. He also reported hydrant bollard installations at HRH, which were filled with concrete on Aug. 3 to complete work.
Zach requested purchase approvals for small equipment and presented procurement quotes: four bids for truck tires (lowest: Myers Automotive, $1,800) and a recommendation to buy hedge-trimmer and pole-saw attachments for $505; the board authorized the attachments. He also recommended the board purchase a hitch-mounted flushing diffuser and dechlorination chamber to meet federal and state recommendations for semiannual flushing—line-item startup costs total about $2,500.
