Cove Forge projects headlined the Williamsburg Municipal Authority meeting Tuesday, March 1. It was announced that Cove Forge intends to move forward with the installation of a master meter at its facility, which will eliminate obligations the authority has downstream of a proposed meter. This master meter will provide water to two residents closest to the facility.
An update was received from the Catharine Township engineer indicating that the Ganister Sewer 3M package had been received by DEP – currently awaiting review comments. The 3M component package provides a simplified planning format for municipalities, such as Catharine, and authorities proposing the construction of a sewer extension primarily servicing existing customers. This Ganister Sewer extension would connect onto the authority’s already existing line.
Looking at the monthly financial report, Treasurer David Myers said some of the regular expenses were higher than normal – the electricity included a $2,000 yearly payment to the borough building for electricity, and a spare grinder pump was purchased.
Borough Manager Joe Lansberry looked at the cost for a spare valve for the sewer building, which would be $1,300, including the cost of labor. This discussion was tabled for the following month as it was not on the advertised agenda.
Upon discussion about sludge hauling, there was a contractor who comes into the area and said that their company could offer an inexpensive option for hauling away sludge. Currently, the Authority is on haul number six for the year with a cost of $1,100 per sludge haul. Lansberry said he would contact the contractor for prices and dimensions of needed building to hold sludge until pick-up.
