2) New Business
a) Metcalf & Eddy Fox Hill/Copps Hill pump stations.
1. Mr. Pearson discussed the feasibility to extend gravity sewer service to the Fox Hill Condominium complex. Two components required to eliminate the existing pump station at the complex and replace it with gravity sewer service: a gravity sewer from the intersection of Copps Hill Road northeasterly along Route 35 to the existing Fox Hill gravity sewer system, and an upgrade of the capacity of the existing Copps Hill Pump Station to accommodate the additional flow from the Fox Hill complex.
- Fox Hill. To extend gravity sewer service to the Fox Hill complex from the existing sewer system, approximately 1,100 linear feet of 8-inch diameter sewer and constructed at a depth of approximately 25 feet at the Danbury Road/Copps Hill Road intersection would be required.
- Copps Hill. To accommodate the increased service area, the capacity of the Copps Hill Pump Station will need to be increased. In order for the Copps Hill Pump Station to be able to accommodate the additional flow from the connection of the Fox Hill complex, the design peak flow for the pump station would need to be increased from 470 gpm to 645 gpm. This would require larger pumps and a larger standby engine-generator.
2. Discussed costs associated with the above-stated revisions.
3. Discussed the time sensitive commencement of the Fox Hill connection. Mr. Pearson will present a detailed cost analysis as soon as possible.
3) OMI Report
a) OMI Monthly Report discussed in detail.
b) Vactor truck use was discussed in detail. Mr. Lauria will contact Mr. Hill regarding use of truck.
4) Other Business
a) Foodservice Establishment Ordinance passed at the Town Meeting, February 4, 2003. The WPCA has agreed to stop accepting grease at the South Street facility after the septic haulers have been notified.
b) Motion to approve (not to exceed) $2,000 for a new computer, software and monitor WPCA Administration office by Mr. Hill, seconded by Mr. Briody, passing unanimously.
c) Next meeting March 11, 2003 will be held at Town Hall, Lower Level Conference Room.
5) Adjournment
a) Motion to adjourn made by Mr. Hill at 8:45 p.m., seconded by Mr. Briody. Passed unanimously.
