VEOLIA REPORT
Mr. Bozza submitted a written report. He noted that the plant is functioning very well. He also noted that the average flow (gpd) was 53,103. The high flow exceeded the contractual treatment maximums in the agreement between the Town & Veolia. He added that the flow was high and the concentration/strength was also high. DEP took samples of the Norwalk River during June for analysis. DEP continues to monitor the river because of the construction activity.
Commission members discussed the need to have better flow numbers from the Meadow Ridge facility. Mr. Campbell suggested further review of the inflow numbers from Aquarion to the facility and the deductions being made for pool & landscaping needs. Mrs. Moisio expressed a concern about the condition and accuracy of the meters. Mr. Campbell, Mrs. Moisio and Mr. Regan will meet to further explore the meter readings/inflow of water compared with the amount of water/sewage being handled by the plant, and will report their findings to the Commission at the next meeting.
Sampler: Mr. Bozza has not purchased/ordered the sampler as yet. He described the two options for samplers. Commission members asked Mr. Bozza to purchase a sampler that is currently available.
REPORT ON MEADOW RIDGE ISSUES
The current manager, Jonathan Erickson, will be leaving Meadow Ridge at the end of July. He has requested the bills for the April event/rainfall flooding at Meadow Ridge. Mr. Regan has directed that those bills be sent to Mr. Erickson’s attention.
The grinder at Meadow Ridge is up and running well. The engineers and Meadow Ridge management are still working on the design for the screen for the grinder.
Garbage disposals: The current plan for Phase 3 of Meadow Ridge includes garbage disposals in the residential units. The existing residential units were built with garbage disposals despite the fact that the WPCC sewer regulations prohibit their use. Mr. Regan will discuss the issue with Mr. Erickson.
