Manager’s Updates:   John Fitzgerald reported that the BOD removal for February was 83.2%.  This is below the required removal of 85%, he expects a violation letter in the future.  Effluent TIN was 4.1mg/L, again staying below the limit. Matt from Browns Hill came on 2/20/2023 and properly connected the influent flow meter to the control panel.  There is a signal from the FL-1500 (influent flow meter) to the control panel.  However, it needs to be recalibrated.  Browns Hill is coming up to perform the recalibration. They will be entering the manhole (confined space) with a portable flow meter to get accurate real time data in order to have a baseline reference. Matt from Browns Hill also had a look at the auto samplers, on his return visit he will continue working to get them functional. Matt is ordering six motor starters for backup that are vital for plant operation.

Currently the UV lights are not producing the proper output for effective disinfection.  This results in undesirable ecoli reduction.  John has inspected them and performed a cleaning however that did not solve the issue. He has reached out to Hallet (manufacturer) for help and made some adjustments without resolving the issue. It was discussed that the temperature in the control room has issues with the fan turning on due to the placement of the thermostat.   John has purchased a portable heater for now and it has brought up the temperature in the control room.

Native Excavating repaired the fire hydrant on Buckingham Lane that was damaged. A permanent solution will be priced out this Spring to protect this hydrant in the future.
