Kyle Adams reports in The Daily Mail repairs are ongoing at the Village of Catskill Wastewater Treatment Facility after it suffered heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy, Tues., Oct. 30. The main pump room, at the facility located on lower Main Street, was flooded by more than 11 feet of water, and forced a shutdown of the three sewage pumps. An emergency diesel pump was immediately installed to keep the plant running. By Sat., Nov. 3, the repairs were complete and the facility was functioning normally. Some minor cleanup work remains, as well as repairs to the heating and hot water systems. The cost of the repairs is expected to be nearly $70,000. Read the full story in The Daily Mail.
