Construction Update - April 2024

April 30, 2024  Progress on the lift station continues to plod along.  The electrical system is around a week from being connected by PNM.  File Construction excavated the foundation for the propane tank pad.  Concrete will be poured on May 1, 2024.  The original propane tank pad was constructed too close to the emergency generator and a new pad had to be constructed at no cost to the TWWA.  We continue to use the two Rain for Rent pumps for the daily wastewater transfer.  Eddie Mendoza and Alan reviewed the File Construction cut over plan.  The new basin will begin receiving wastewater as the high pressure line is disconnected, pumped, and the HDPE pipes are fused together.  If everything goes as planned, at the end of the day, the new lift station will be operational, except for the fuel to the emergency generator.
