Update Lift Station:
The lift station rejuvenation is done. All that remains on the dry pit is a socket for the dehumidifier. That will done next week. We also put a gravel surface down from 3rd Avenue to the landfill, which should have been done years ago. But it needs more gravel put down which most likely will not happen until the spring.
The area around the lift station still needs:
-
The lid to the lift station dry basin needs to be resurfaced and painted with liquid PVC to increase its lifespan.
-
The manhole west of lift station needs a gasket and hole plugs.
-
Check valve east of west station needs dug out and leveled before it becomes unusable like those at the lagoons.
-
It has been recommended that we put a small load of pea gravel around the dry basin to protect PVC ducts
-
The exterior of the dry basin needs to be painted when the lid is done.
Update Lagoons:
Lastly and also put short and simple. The lagoons dikes were repaired in 2013 due to their age and deterioration. That was more than a decade ago. Pond #2 is failing. Pond #1 is not as bad but with the rains and weather, it won't be long for it falls into the same category. Requests for bids have been sent and two have been received and range from $20.000.00 to $205,000.00 to do the work. We have a grant submitted and it was accepted. We will know in November if it gets approved We also graded out the road to the landfill and out to the lagoons and modified the gates to meet NDAC. Our drywell and wet well have been given a good bill of health.
