Rebuild of Raw Water Pump for Wet Weather Facility
To approve the rebuild of a raw water pump by First Electric Motor Services, Inc.
of Woburn, MA in the amount of $43,541. Funding will be through Department:

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
pumps are needed to pull a full 60 MGD through the Wet Weather Facility.
In October of 2020, the first of the four pumps failed. We had that rebuilt and
reinstalled. Since then, two additional pumps have failed. We had success with
First Electric rebuilding the initial raw water pump, and so we had them pick one
of the two newly failed pumps up to bring back to their shop for inspection. They
have now taken the pump apart, inspected it, and determined what repair is
necessary. They have provided us with a quote for labor and parts of $43,541.
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.
