Board approves $231,007 purchase for VFD motor control center to serve well

Staff (S4) described the scope of work for a variable-frequency drive motor control center, control monitoring equipment and all related electrical components needed to power pumping equipment at the district well. "The electrical equipment and installation would be completed to the district's well with home contract with General Tolf in the amount of $231,007," the presenter said.

Board members asked about related water‑quality testing, including chromium-6 and PFAS at nearby wells; staff said recent sampling had not detected PFAS in the district's distribution sources but noted that some outlying wells used for construction were not part of the distribution system and had not been sampled. After discussion, a director moved to purchase the equipment for well number 165 and the board approved the contract.
