SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Division of Water Reclamation houses a machine maintenance shop, which contains equipment needed for repair and maintenance. Many of the machines used are over 30 years of age and are no longer safe for use. The Division intends to use funds from this Ordinance to replace some of the aging and most critical machines, and to add a lift to assist in the repairs. The Division will prepare specifications and advertise for bids for the purchase of this equipment.
