Committee hears plan to replace remaining blowers, reissue outfall RFP and finish O&M manual

Jul 16, 2026

Staff said one blower was replaced last year after a critical failure; two remaining blowers are being upgraded, the effluent outfall RFP will be updated and reissued, and the operations and maintenance manual is targeted for completion by Dec. 31, 2026.

Plant Manager Leticia told the subcommittee that staff replaced one blower last fiscal year after a critical failure and now has executed a contract to purchase and upgrade the two remaining blowers so all three units will be the same brand and work cohesively in the control system. She said the part that failed on the older unit could no longer be sourced from the manufacturer, which led staff to replace rather than attempt an overseas rebuild.
