Rebuild of Raw Water Pump for Wet Weather Facility
To approve the continuation of service of First Electric Motor Services, Inc. of
Woburn, MA for the rebuild of one of the Raw Water Pumps in the Wet Weather
Facility. Funding will be through: Department 169 Wastewater; Fund:
Wastewater; Account Classification: 54 Property Services
Quote
The Wastewater Facility has four 266 horse power Raw Water pumps that bring
the wastewater into the Wet Weather Facility. During a large rain event, three are
used to pull a full 60 MGD through the Wet Weather Facility. One of the raw
water pumps failed. We had First Electric pick it up to determine if we could have
it rebuilt. They took the pump apart, inspected it, and determined what was
needed to fix it. They provided us with a quote for labor and parts of $27,530.
With First Electric having completed the inspection and already having the motor
in their shop opened up, we are recommending them for a continuation of service.
