IN REGARDS TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION
NOV-2023-LM-0016 -t' WOv -Z023- Lv 3
BETHANY WASTEWATER PERMIT #NC0037001
In August 2022, we found an issue with the Pentair pump assembly which was losing its prime
and causing the breaker to trip off and not allowing the plant to recirculate. The ORC reported
this to the maintenance office so that a new pump assembly could be ordered. The assembly
and all related parts for installation was ordered on September 7, 2022 through Recreation
Supply Company. Due to production issues and shipping issues the ORC received the pump
assembly on March 16, 2023. However, we did not receive the suction flange assembly that was
needed to install this pump assembly. Once again, Recreation Supply Company was contacted
to order this flange assembly. As of March 17, 2023, Recreation Supply is having an issue with
finding the Pentair flange assembly. If the suction flange assembly can not be found, we will
order each individual gasket, washers, screws, plugs, etc. to make up this complete assembly.
They are contacting Pentair directly to get this expedited. Once we have received this flange
assembly and/or individual parts installation will begin immediately to install the Pentair pump
assembly.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
