Council hears update on wastewater plant failures, controller trouble

New Buffalo Borough Council · June 9, 2025

Summary

Council member Adam Pavusik reported clogging and a failure of pumps at the borough wastewater plant, a failed level sensor and a malfunctioning controller, and said Skelly and Loy will be contacted for troubleshooting following a confined-space entry and repairs on June 12.

Adam Pavusik delivered the sewer authority report, telling the council that "Pump #1 and 3 clogged over the past month. Pump #3 failed a couple of days ago." He said plant staff mowed the site on May 31, that a riding-mower belt needs replacement, and that there will be out-of-scope hours charged by Skelly and Loy while he was on vacation.

Pavusik reported a confined-space entry on June 12 to clean "train #1" and repair damaged piping, and said the lift-station level sensor failed and the controller is still not working properly; Skelly and Loy will contact the controller company to troubleshoot. The minutes also note the borough solicitor (Dissinger & Dissinger) recommended preparing rules and regulations for new sewer connections and reconnections and associated fees for council review.
