At last week's Water Planning Group meeting there was some very good news: the $5-6 million plant upgrade is being tabled. Our new commissioners have been initiating efficiencies in the operation of the plant with increased oversight and monitoring of the level of chemicals introduced to the water. It seems that whichever standard is used, existing and 2012, the plant will be in compliance.
Further good news is that the quality may be able to be improved with some low-tech, less expensive improvements to the plant and new procedures that will increase the percentage below the compliance figure.
Kudos!
I repeat myself in pointing out that our new commissioners, Chris Seebeck and Peter DeCaprio, have brought sound business and financial practices and procedures to the operation of our water department that have resulted in immediate improvements and savings. An excellent example for the rest of town government.
