Manager reports water‑system operations, BECSys event and schedule changes for hydrant flushing
Summary
Manager Paul Gruber reported water testing met requirements in early August, described a BECSys cyanuric‑acid event that was neutralized, said hydrant flushing was postponed to late October for tank maintenance and confirmed a corrected wastewater labor cost figure.
Manager Paul Gruber updated council on several water and utility‑operation items at the Sept. 2 meeting. He said Suburban Testing Labs tested the water at the Kwik Shoppe and at the sewer plant on Aug. 5 and that "all requirements [were] met." Gruber described a BECSys event the weekend of Aug. 23 when cyanuric acid rose and staff reduced levels with chlorine neutralizer; levels are now stabilized.
During public comment resident Richard Geschwindt asked what levels are required for monthly water tests; Gruber replied, "no bacteria may be in the water and that chlorine residuals could be at .4 mg/L or .2 mg/L, depending on where in the system the sample is obtained." Gruber also said hydrant flushing was delayed to the end of October to coincide with water tank maintenance, inspection and chemical cleaning, and that the borough had corrected a prior reported June labor cost for the wastewater plant (from $6,501 to $5,594).
