Purchasing Specialist

 

The following Utilities Department equipment is obsolete and is no longer useful to the City. 

 

SEWAGE PUMPS (15 & 2 MOTORS)

The sewage pumps and motors were pulled from lift stations 6 or 7 years ago due to abandonment and upgrading the lift stations with more efficient equipment.  These pumps are not interchangeable with any equipment we are presently using.

 

12 VOLT SPREADERS (2)

Two 12 volt salt sand spreaders were taken out of service over 6 year ago and are no longer used. 

 

THE REMAINDER OF SURPLUS EQUIPMENT

The remainder of the equipment is from various locations at the Wastewater Treatment Plant.  It was taken out of service approximately 2 years ago when systems were renovated and upgrades made with smaller and much more efficient equipment.
