LIVERMORE FALLS — Sewer trustees voted Monday to spend $12,831 from the Wastewater Treatment Plant reserve account to buy a computer system that helps run the plant.
Town Manager Kristal Flagg told trustees and the Board of Selectmen that an insurance company felt the SCADA system, a supervisory control and data acquisition program, probably failed due to its age, not because it was struck by lightning.
The system failed after a lightning storm, she said.
Flagg also reported that the bar rack repair was made and it went online Monday.
It replaces an in-line channel grinder that was no longer removing solids, such as wet wipes, rocks and rags, that come in with sewage.
A building will be built over the rack to protect it.
Livermore Falls owns the plant and Jay and Livermore Falls share the cost of maintenance and operation of it based on the flow of sewage treated. The plant serves some homes in both towns.
