JOHNSTOWN The Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board recently adopted a nearly $5 million 2021 O&M general fund budget for the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Approval of the $4,890,945 spending plan was done by the board last month.
Prior to approval, the board’s Budget Committee had met Nov. 5 to discuss the budget. Facility Manager Wallace Arnold and Fiscal Officer Donna Renda also gave a presentation detailing the sewer plant budget for 2021 and a projected three-year capital plan.
In other business, the board heard from Arnold that a helical spring coil auger is working well to dispense potassium permanganate from the facility’s chemical feed system into the CAST System. He reported the last odor complaint occurred Sept. 5. Arnold said that a service technician from Carus Corp. on Oct. 28 inspected the chemical feed system and found certain issues.
