St. James City Council passes pair of motions for wastewater projects
St. James Plaindealer
At Tuesday s St. James City Council meeting, the council passed a motion for a bid and design for a wastewater pre-treatment improvement project. The major components we are looking to replace are the main lift pumps at the lift station and the bar screen, said John Grapman with Bolton & Menk. Both of those are original to 1988 and were not replaced in 2010 like some of the other equipment.
Both the pumps and screen are well past the recommended 20-year life span. The pumps are one of the most critical components we have because they re what makes every drop of wastewater in the city get pumped and they keep your basements dry, said Graupman.
