1.November December 2019.pdf

The Manager of Environmental Service (MES) said that the digester was tested in mid December 2019 and failed. The MES forwarded an email to MIG Engineering, who then forwarded to Matten Construction for discussion. MIG Engineering wants to try to repair the digester from the inside as per the original scope of work. 

The Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), and MES will set up a meeting with MIG Engineering and Matten Construction to address concerns, and if no suitable resolution is reached the Village will seek legal advice regarding the digester project delays. If the Village loses funding due to the delay of the repair the Village will prepare a letter to address not only that, but will also include the fact that as a result of delaying the repair of the roof because of the delay of the digester that the roof leaked and there was considerable damage. 

Imperial roofing came in and did a temporary repair for the roof until it can be repaired properly.  Quotes will need to be obtained for the damage done, and then a decision will need to take place for how to cover the costs.

    THAT the Committee receive and file the Water/Wastewater Treatment Plant Committee Monthly Report.
