Water department reports recurring leaks, sewer pump repaired
Summary
Town staff told the council several leaks occurred on the same water line in a short period and recommended replacing the joint rather than repeatedly clamping it; a previously troublesome Vectron sewer pump was repaired after a bad replacement pump had been installed.
The Water Department reported multiple leaks on a single line in a short period and urged permanent repairs rather than repeated temporary clamps. "I'm not understanding why we don't replace the joint instead of putting hundreds of dollars worth [of] clamps on the same line," a water-department representative said.
The meeting also covered sewer equipment: staff said a Vectron pump had been looked at and fitted with a replacement pump that turned out to be bad; a subsequent pump installed on Monday fixed the immediate issue but staff said the sewer machine still needs maintenance. "That sewer machine needs some TLC," the same representative said, adding the town is "looking at that pretty quick" and evaluating whether to trade up or upgrade the unit.
