ON THE QUESTION
Mayor Donchess
And Mr. Boucher is here to explain this item.
David Boucher, Wastewater Superintendent
Yes, this item is for the annual purchase of a chemical polymer used in two different processes at the
Wastewater Plant. It is used to thicken sludge and separate water. This is the company we used last year and
they are willing to hold their cost through Fiscal Year ’21. It is a product that’s worked very well for us, so we
like to continue to use it.
