Superintendent: wastewater plant fully operational after summer repairs

Superintendent Richard Schelling told trustees that the wastewater treatment plant is operating normally after recent repairs and maintenance.

"The plant right now is fully operational. We just sent off 2 pumps that failed during the summertime common failure," Schelling said, adding that crews removed approximately 25,000 gallons of sludge and cleared about 8–10 yards of sand from an 8‑inch line damaged earlier.

Schelling described ongoing routine maintenance work, replacement of two pumps, sludge‑removal scheduling and plans to replace a hydrant damaged by a truck within the month. He said all chemical and fuel supplies for water treatment are fully stocked and that wastewater operations are expected to continue without interruption.

The update was presented as an operational report; no board action was taken.
