PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION

None
BACKGROUND
:
The electrical equipment at the James R. DiIorio Water Reclamation Facility has passed
its normal design life and requires constant maintenance. The Water Reclamation
Facility depends on electricity to operate the various wastewater treatment processes.
Electrical supply components at the facility have at times failed to operate. This is
unacceptable and could lead to the inability to treat wastewater resulting in
noncompliance of state requirements. It is the intent of this project to rehabilitate the
electrical wiring and conduit to insure the proper function of the secondary clarifiers.
This project is vital to the smooth operation of treatment processes at the James R
Dilorio Water Reclamation Facility.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
:
The cost of the construction project was bid at $14,871. Funds are available from the
Sewer User Funds and have been budgeted and appropriated to Project No. WWAN04.

STAKEHOLDER PROCESS
