Sewer Report - June 8th, 2026

One sewer alarm went off since the last report. Located at a village restaurant - due to excessive sludge build up in the tank. Though it did not become an emergency, it demonstrates the importance for anyone to call when an alarm is going off.

On June 5th, Les Coon (H20 Innovations) and Jake Smith (DPW) led an in-depth walkthrough of the WWTP. Trustee Allen was able to see the entire process from beginning to end.

Reflections from the walkthrough:

  • The operations team have worked diligently to get a cleanly operating system

  • There are safety measures necessary to ensure employee well-being

The Sewer Team met the morning of June 8th - in attendance were: Les Coon, Jake Smith, Robert Flores (Delaware Engineering), Mayor Smythe, Trustee Allen, and Clerk Cavanaugh.

Topics discussed during the meeting:

  • Team will generate quote for safety measures

  • Biohealth Bacterial Supplement going very well!

  • Swapping mixers for diffusers in the anoxic tank

    • Concern about higher energy consumption - can be mitigated by negotiating energy contracts and/or solar?

  • Laying heat-tape along particular pipes in September to avoid freezing

  • Importance of the income survey for future capital projects

  • Clerk busy figuring out complexities of equitable billing

Follow-up questions:

  • Are there written financial projections for the expansion project, with and without various associated developments?
