Dolgeville’s wastewater treatment plant’s digester needs an emergency cleaning, and the project will be an expensive one.
Village officials estimate the total cost could run to $200,000 or more.
“It must be done. We have no other choice but to bond for it,” said Dolgeville Mayor Mary Puznowski. “It’s imperative that we get it done as soon as possible.”
There are very few firms that do the specialized work needed, she said. The village is dealing with the problem on an emergency basis in order to bring in a contractor as soon as possible rather than go through the normal bidding process, which would delay the repairs.
