Infrastructure
Utilities Superintendent Nick Prothman provided prices for construction of a 12 x 12 or 10 x 14 foot shed to house the generator at the waste water plant. This would include all materials with an approximate cost of $4,250.
Electrician Doug Wright was present to answer questions regarding power supply. He noted the generator works well and is a great unit.
Any board member could easily operate the system if Prothman is out of town.
The village presently uses a tractor to run the PTO system if power fails.
Chairman Stokes felt the village has the unit and they should use it.
The board voted to spend $4,250, including wiring, on the project.
