Board approves $20,199 sewer push‑camera to boost in‑house inspections

The Board of Public Works voted to approve the purchase of a $20,199 push camera setup for televising sanitary and storm facilities. The motion to approve the purchase was made by Mr. Baron and seconded by Mr. Dorsey; the board voted in favor with no recorded opposition and the chair stated, “Motion carried.”

Staff said the camera will allow more in‑house televising work and reduce outsourced inspection and repair costs. As Ben and staff explained during the meeting, performing more televising in‑house can reduce outside expenses for CCTV inspections and help troubleshoot collection system problems earlier. No additional conditions or financing details were recorded in the meeting minutes.

Ending: The purchase was approved at the Sept. 3 meeting and staff will take delivery and integrate the camera into routine maintenance and inspection programs.
