Members of the board vvf ■.oimp.
commissioners ri%ently apprevv^^
the transfer of S4fj,(*g) in -tale
water fund- to be used for the
replacement of blowers at the
Raefcrd wastewater irealrnent
plant.
The money, alKxaled lo the
county from Senate Bill Tvvo
funds, will go towards Ihe pur
chase of four new Mowers which
will replace the plant's existing six
blowers.
The total com ot the proieci will
be SlftO.OOO The S40.000 of the
county's Senate Bill Two monies
will be added to the cny ’s S4t>,iM)ti
of Senate Bill I wo monies to help
pay for the blowers.
Tfre city must match the stale
funds with an equal amouryi of
non federal funds; the remaining
funds will come from the city's
operating capital.
The treatment plant's ^ix
positive displacement blowers are
20 years old and no longer func
tion efficiently.
The four replacement rtiulti
state centrifugal blowers are larger
and more powerful than the ex
isting M\ blowers.
