Columbus City Council looks to update plant booster pumps

Columbus City Council met on Tuesday, Oct. 14, and Monday, Oct. 27, and discussed various city business.

Utilities Department Water/ Gas Head Kevin Faichtinger addressed the city’s plan for the wastewater treatment plant booster pumps going forward. An unexpected booster bump failure on Sept. 17 forced the city to issue a state one drought notice.

“My plan is when water usage slows down a little bit, we are going to put the new pump in place and hang on to the repaired pump as a spare to keep up out of this whole situation,” Faichtinger said.
