Village of Deferiet Board · December 12, 2025

Summary

DPW Supervisor Keith Heames reported a failed pump element: a $3,000 inspection found water intrusion; replacement element quoted at $4,677 (shipping excluded) and rebuilding the old pump estimated at about $2,000. Heames will obtain quotes for budgeting.

DPW Supervisor Keith Heames told the board staff have been prioritizing snow removal and cleared sidewalks and hydrants. He reported a pump failure: an inspection cost $3,000 and found that water had seeped into the unit. A replacement element has been quoted at $4,677 (shipping not included); sending the old pump for rebuilding would cost roughly $2,000.

Heames said he will secure formal quotes so the village can budget for either a replacement element or a rebuild. The board did not take a formal vote on procurement during the meeting, but the estimates were recorded for future budget planning.
