Special Meeting
PRESENT: President Thomas B. Willis, Jr., Commissioner Holger Schuster, Lane Cole, Vern
Vonville (Tidewater Utilities) and Town Manager/Clerk-Treasurer Amy Moore
SPECIAL MEETING CALLED TO ORDER AT l:30 p.m.
Vern Monville provided an update on the wastewater treatment plant flows. Due to the high
rains the previous weekend, the plant has been experiencing high flows. The infrltration into the
sewer lines is extremely high. Del Rhodes Avenue at the last two manholes showed a lot of
water. After reading all the meters, the Town has put out 3,180,000 gallons of water and getting
4,1 18,000 gallons of sewer. They plan on cleaning the membranes again as soon as they can
move some of the sewer.
Ms. Moore reported that she has contacted Mobile Dredging and Video Pipe to see if available to
camera the sewer lines. She also advised that bowl inserts for the manholes have been ordered
from Dover Plumbing as well.
It was determined, with input from Lane Cole, that the areas that should be looked at are:
o
Del Rhodes Ave - from Friel's at Rt. 301 to lift station
o
Del Rhodes Ave - from J. C. Warner, through back of property between them and
playground company, thru Jamie Lewis property to Melvin Ave. and down to end of
street.
o
Main St. at wastewater plant entrance up into the plant driveway.
Per the information provided, and the urgency of the situation, Commission Schuster motioned
to have the areas recommended televised as soon as possible. Motion seconded by President
Willis. Vote: 2-aye,0-nay
There being no further business at this time, President Willis motioned to adjourn the meeting at
