MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT; REPLACEMENT OF DISINFECTION
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HYPERCHLORIDE BISULFIDE
Jerry Potter, the Wastewater Treatment Plant Foreman, reports that the Controller for the plant
disinfection system is showing early indications of failure. The manufacturer states the
equipment is discontinued. To our knowledge there are no other manufacturers of this
controller. A repair of our current controller would cost as much as a new updated unit with no
guarantee that it can be fixed. Jerry recommends we replace this controller as a preventative
measure.
A new disinfection control system (Strantrol DOCS 960 Controller Base Unit) will cost $13,995
which includes freight, start -up and training. We have adequate funds in the Wastewater
Treatment Plant budget to cover the cost of a new controller. I recommend we replace this
critical piece of equipment.
