Mr. Derek Dieter,
President
South Bend Common Council
In Re: Ordinance Appropriating $300,000 for Raw Sewage Pump
Rehabilitation.
Dear President Dieter:
The attached ordinance is offered for Council consideration. It deals with a new
appropriation from Sewage Works Capital Fund (#642) under the category of "Treatment
and Disposal of Equipment" in the 2010 Sewage Works Capital budget for wastewater.
Sufficient monies are in Fund #642 to cover this requested appropriation.
The total dollar amount to be appropriated is $ 300,000. These funds will be
primarily used to cover rehabilitation and upgrade of the old Raw Sewage Pump # 1
which was recently replaced. A second of the three raw sewage pumps at the wastewater
plant required to meet "firm capacity" requirements in the NPDES permit issued by
IDEM to the City has failed and needs replacing. Rebuilding and upgrading the replaced
number 1 pump is the most cost effective way to continue to meet this permit
requirement.
We believe this to be an emergency and appreciate the Council's consideration of
this appropriation request.
I will make the formal presentations and am available anytime if you have
questions.
Sincerely,
ohn illon
