(KAIR)-- An update for the Atchison water filtration system.
That comes after Monday’s city commission meeting when Atchison Public Works & Utilities Director Justin Pregont requested commissioners approve replacing the traveling water screen, which is used to remove large debris from raw water pulled from the Missouri River to be sent for filtration.
Commissioners approved the $129,650 bid from Haynes Equipment with an additional $7,500 to handle change orders throughout building.
The current screen, last replaced in 2009, has been inoperable for about three months. While the Capital Improvement Plan budget didn’t plan on needing to rebuild the screen until 2017, several problems exist with the current screen rendering it unusable, Pregont said.
The new plans for the future screen include measures to fix past problems.
