Sewer operator reports facility functioning, town on track with phosphorus allocation

Orwell Select Board · January 12, 2026

Summary

The wastewater treatment facility is operating normally, solar power came online Dec. 30, and the town is on track with its phosphorus allocation per the TMDL report, the sewer report states.

The town's sewer report, recorded in the minutes and signed "Respectfully, Edward Tracey," states: "I am pleased to report that the Wastewater Treatment Facility continues to perform without incident." The report notes that cold weather required a heat lamp in the effluent chamber to prevent surface freezing that could interfere with flow-meter readings and that solar power was activated on Dec. 30, 2025.

The report also states the town is on track with its phosphorus waste allocation, as indicated in the TMDL report. No operational problems requiring immediate board action were recorded; the minutes show the board accepted the report as informational.
