Manager reviews WTP/WWTP costs and testing; borough to keep SPL for routine analysis

Shoemakersville Borough Council · February 17, 2026

Summary

Manager Paul Gruber presented operational cost spreadsheets for the water and wastewater plants, reported continuing routine environmental testing with SPL rather than Eurofins, and noted coordination with Mr. Kee on water production costs; the borough also still needs a crossing guard.

Manager Paul Gruber presented the borough's operational-cost spreadsheet for the water treatment plant (WTP) and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and said he is continuing to work with Mr. Kee on water production-cost calculations.

Gruber reported he reviewed Eurofins' proposal for environmental testing but determined it is more efficient for the borough to continue using SPL for routine drinking-water and wastewater testing. He also reported that a crossing guard position remains open.

Council members reviewed the data Gruber presented; no formal vote changing testing vendors or on staffing for the crossing guard occurred at the workshop. Mayor David Kisha thanked Gruber for tours of the WTP and WWTP he and Mark Paine received earlier.
