Macclesfield public works seeks fixes after wastewater pump failures
Summary
Public Works Director Chevy Taylor reported multiple pump failures at the town wastewater plant, a rented pump that failed and frozen lines, and plans to vacuum the influent station and consider buying a used pump; Pearson Pump recommended cleaning the influent station.
Public Works Director Chevy Taylor told the board the town has faced several pump issues at the wastewater plant and that Pearson Pump recommended cleaning the influent station to clear blockages. Taylor said a rented pump failed over the weekend, which caused lines to freeze, and he is getting prices to have a contractor vacuum the influent station so Pearson Pump can clean all lines.
Taylor also reported he has obtained a price on a used pump from the company providing the rental pump as a possible cost‑saving option while he awaits additional quotes. The board asked Taylor to get more price quotes for replacement pumps and for contractors to perform the influent‑station vacuuming; no procurement decision was made at the meeting.
