PROJECT PURPOSE

WE HAVE TWO SEWER LIFT STATIONS THAT IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE TWO PUMP AND MOTORS IN EACH LIFT STATION, EACH OF THE TWO LIFT STATIONS ONLY HAS ONE PUMP AND MOTOR WORKING BUT TWO IS REQUIRED FOR EACH LIFT STATION. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE DID A RATES STUDY AND IMPLEMENTED NEW RATES, FUNDS ARE NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. OUR OTHER ISSUE IS A RODDING MACHINE FOR SEWERS. OUR RODDING MACHINE IS SO OLD (33 YEARS OLD) WE CANT GET PARTS FOR IT. IT CONSTANTLY BRAKES DOWN. WE WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE A JET RODDING MACHINE WITH THIS APPLICATION AS WELL. ( 2 PUMPS AND MOTORS $25,000.00-- TOTAL PUMP) (JET RODDING MACHINE $75,000.00 -- SEWER EQUIPMENT OF AMERICA)
