BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of replacing four 10+ -year-old adjustable

activated sludge and an industrial waste pump at the White Slough
treatment facility. The three pump drives for return of activated sludge
are important to Plant operations and in need of replacement along with one industrial waste pump drive

become unavailable. A recommendation for replacement of the remaining four drives has been included in
future Capital Improvement Budgets. The City's Electric Utility electricians will perform the installation with
startup assistance from the AFD vendor.
The specifications are on file at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility.

Improvement Budget.
