Finance Committee - 03/04/2020 Page 17
Alderman O’Brien
Probably would be nice to mention | kind of sweated bullets with it, I’m sure you did too. But can you say what
happened this summer? We did have a failure of one pump and we were relying on one pump and | would
guess it would make a bloody mess if that one pump did fail. So this is prudent to think ahead like this.
Mr. Boucher
You are right. This is a pump station that pumps sewage under the Nashua River to the other side | think
Shore Street without that pump you don’t pump anything and things back up and you are right, it wouldn’t be a
pretty sight.
Alderman O’Brien
And follow up if | may. That pump station is adjacent to a clean waterway too so it needs to run perfectly.
Mr. Boucher
Yeah all the pumps stations are in pretty sensitive locations. But yeah you are correct.
