Public Works Department Updates

Public Works Supervisor Jim Dunning stated the raw sewage pump is running well. 4 loads of road salt were delivered. There is a SCADA meeting scheduled for Friday. The sludge pump is up and running and doing the work of 2 old pumps. Commissioner Warner inquired how the sewage back up problem at Diamond Liquors turned out. Dunning stated they were able to hire SCS from Gardner, which they jetted the sewer line both ways. There was a lot of sand which most likely came from the construction of Dominos. There were a lot of issues with the catch basin caving in during construction of Domino’s so that is Dunnings’s prediction where the sand came from. Dunning stated the department will clean out the catch basins in the spring when they have the vactor truck.
