Board approves dehumidifier purchase for Well 3, tables SCADA meter replacement pending more testing

Jul 20, 2026

Trustees approved up to $2,700 to replace a 20-year-old dehumidifier at Well 3; they tabled a SCADA-linked flow-meter purchase pending Vortek wiring tests and warranty/repair estimates to be presented Aug. 3.

The full story

Public Works Supervisor Jim Stark told the board that the dehumidifier in the Well 3 water/wastewater area — exposed to chlorine gases — is about 20 years old and needs an equal replacement. USA Blue Book quoted a compatible dehumidifier for $2,600 with a five-year warranty. Trustee Jessica Fruit moved to approve the purchase not to exceed $2,700; Trustee Erik Marshall seconded; the roll-call vote was unanimous among present trustees and the motion carried.
