The following letter, signed by Commissioner Mathews making recommendations concerning
the replacing and /or repairing the boiler located at the Sewage Treatment Plant was
read by the City Clerk:
April 10, 1958
RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COMMISSION
by Public Works Commissioner Larry Mathews
At the regular City Commission meeting of January 22, 1958 the recommendation was
made that immediate action be taken to replace the boiler at the Sewage treatment Plant.
The City Commission elected to defer replacement of the boiler because of insufficient f
It is necessary to again direct the Commission's attention to the unsatisfactory
and unsafe condition of the boiler at the treatment plant. The boiler inspector, Mr.
Dawdy, representing the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection,and Insurance Company, reported
to me on April 1, 1958 that the temporary repairs made on the boiler have failed and
that the boiler have failed and that the boiler is again leaking like a sieve and is T
very unsafe. He estimates that an expenditure of $1,000 to $1,500 is required.to put
the boiler in a safe operating condition and there is no guarantee that the repairs will
last another year.
Paul Page, the operator of the Sewage Treatment Plant, was asked what progress he
was making in putting the boiler back in operation. It seems that a problem has develop-
ed in keeping the boiler patched up. The material he uses to seal the cracks is removed
by the water conditioning additives, so a permanent repair is not possible without re-
placing sections of the boiler.
I recommend that the City Engineer be directed to prepare specifications and call
for bids on the furnishing and installation of a boiler capable of supplying the needs
for the next thirty years. The commission should be aware that failure to provide heat
to the digestors can result in severe operational problems which could cost the city
more in extra labor than the cost of a new boiler.
LM:EL
Larry Mathews
Commissioner of Public Works
Moved by Mathews, seconded by Schutt that the City Engineer be and is hereby instructed
to submit prices on the purchase of a new boiler and estimates on the repair of the old
boiler at the Sewage Treatment Plant: carried, Alderson, Schutt and Mathews voting aye.
