HomeMy WebLinkAboutAnnual Report of the Village Engineer 2/22/1983ANNUAL REPORT of the VILLAGE ENGINEER February 22, 1983 The Village waste water treatment plant continues to operate at the lowest per capita cost in the State at the same time it provides an effluent that exceeds the requirement of the State and Federal agencies. The sludge disposal problem has been solved for the present but for the long range a decision from the State Dept. of Environmental Conservation as to what is permitted must be obtained. A question of quality of effluent from the Morse Borg Warner plant in Lansing is under negotiation at the present. The design capacity of the plant is for a flow of 2 M.G.D. in the year 1990. The present flow is about as scheduled for year 1983. The new sidewalk on the East side of East Upland Road from Triphammer Road to Hanshaw Road has been completed except for spring seeding. A comprehensive sidewalk survey of the Village will be made this spring to give the Board of Trustees facts for their decision on sidwalk policy. The flood control project at Renwick Creek culvert crossing at Highland Road is completed at a cost of $12,175. The rebuilding of Triphammer Road this year far exceeded the amount budgeted for this project. The road was built two feet wider than originally expected for safety reasons, extensive storm drainage had to be installed and, the top road surface of asphalt sand mix had to be scooped off to provide an adequate base for the new paving. We have a good road now on one of the most traveled routes in the Village, but the overall Public Works Budget was exceeded for the first time. The Road Program for 1982 -83 is as follows. The Engineer and Public Works foreman inspected all Village Roads in January 1983 to determine the need for repair. The following roads and treatment are recommended.
