Council hears that missing riser left lift‑station backup pump without gas backup
Summary
Staff told council a gas riser and meter at the lift station were removed or damaged (possible subcontractor incident), leaving the backup gas‑run pump inoperative during power outages; staff said the riser needs reinstallation to restore emergency capability.
Staff reported the town's gas riser and meter at a lift station were removed during prior work and may have been damaged when a semi backed over equipment on the contractor's site. "That backup pump is ran by gas, natural gas," staff said about the pump that operates during power outages, and noted the riser must be reinstalled for the backup to function.
Council discussed contacts with the gas company (Atmos/SPS referenced) and subcontractors; staff said they expected to follow up with the contractor and the gas company to get the riser reinstalled and restore emergency operation. No firm timetable was given during the meeting.
