JOHNSTOWN Because the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility is such a vital operation treating waste from mainly the two cities, the facility is trying to button down work spaces in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board, which oversees the operation, met in a rare special session Monday night.
Johnstown Councilman-at-Large Craig Talarico, a sewer board member, said Wednesday that the main purpose of the meeting was to go over a plan formulated by facility Manager Wallace Arnold.
“Because of the COVID issues, we’re concerned,” Talarico said. “The [sewer] plant can’t shut down.”
