WQCS00129 - COLLECTIONS
Report on Progress Made Under SOC Requirements
The sewer collections department cleaned 7,663 feet of sewer line, used the sewer camera to video
5,863 feet of sewer and smoked 6,520 feet of sewer (including the Town of Calypso). Five sewer
cleanouts were replaced. Manhole #1-13 was repaired by replacing the old broken rings, lids and
weather sealing. Several months ago we smoked the area around the Old Boling Chair factory and found
that storm water drains where connected to the sewer. We reached out to the owner via certified mail
requesting this issue be repaired. With no response from the owner, we cut and capped the drains and
sewer lines to prevent any more storm water from the factory's roof from infiltrating the sewer system.
The roof was approximately four acres, which calculates to approximately 108,616 gallons of water for
every inch of rainfall entering our sewer system.
Report on Expected Progress In the October, November & December 2023 Quarter
The Town Board of Commissioners is expected to vote on October 3, 2023 to approve a seven percent
increase to our water/sewer rates to add monies to the CIP to help fund future repairs and for ongoing
Inflow & Infiltration issues that currently plaque the town.
Non- Discharge WQ0029169 Contract I
Report on Progress Made Under SOC Requirements
On 3/15/2023 it was determined that the Contractor had used incorrect materials on 105 or the
134 vertical risers for the spray guns in all fields. The Contractor immediately ordered correct
materials to repair all the spray guns, however, there was a major delay in the delivery of the
needed materials. The needed materials were not delivered for the Contractor's use until
8/1/2023.
From 8/1/2023 through 8/24/2023 the Contractor repaired/corrected all spray guns in all fields
with the exception of spray guns that were originally installed on ductile iron tees rather than
ductile iron 90-degree bends. When instructed by the Engineer to uncover this work, the
Contractor only uncovered one spray gun installed over a tee. This spray gun was installed
correctly and did not have to be repaired. When instructed by the Engineer to uncover all spray

guns, the Contractor stated that spray guns installed on ductile iron tees were installed correctly
and that they would not uncover any other spray guns installed on ductile iron tees.

Repair and clean up influent pump station ultrasonic level transducer. Fix controls/wiring so that
influent pumps will cycle properly. Pumps are not coming on until high level is reached.
Correct issues with Sand filter No. 2 backwash pumps. Backwash pumps are not always being
