Council hears sewer authority report; pump replacements and HMI quote requested
Summary
Councilmember Adam Pavusik reported multiple sewer-level events in August–September, pump replacements (including pumps #1 and #4 in train 2 on Aug. 14), sludge hauling and cleaning actions; Dan from Chromaflow was asked for a quote on a new HMI unit and the solicitor flagged the need for formal sewer connection rules and fees.
Councilmember Adam Pavusik presented an operational update for the borough's sewage system, describing a series of alarms and maintenance actions in August and early September. The minutes record low-level alarms on Aug. 13 and Sept. 5, pump replacements on Aug. 14 (Stan replaced pumps #1 and #4 in train 2), sludge hauling on Aug. 23 by Walters, flowmeter cleaning on Sept. 3, venturi cleaning on Sept. 6, and high-level events on Sept. 8–9. The lift-station controller remains unreliable, and the council asked Dan at Chromaflow to provide a price quote for a new HMI unit.
Sewage solicitor Dennis Shatto told the council the borough needs formal rules and regulations governing new sewer connections and reconnection fees; the minutes record that the council will review another municipality's rules as a model. No motion to fund equipment or adopt rules was recorded in the minutes; the items were recorded as operational updates and follow-ups for staff and solicitor review.
