Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members:
I am in receipt of a letter from Dan O'Connor dated August 25th, 1998, regarding
his acceptance of our Certificate of Construction Compliance for the above sewer
and water lines.
I am also in receipt of a memo from Mike Tremper dated August 28th, 1998
regarding the pump station. In this letter Mr. Tremper states that the pump
station and the lines in Sherwood Heights tributary to that pump station are in
adequate working condition and capable of handling the eighteen (18) new homes
from Carmel Heights.
However, Mr. Tremper does bring up the conditions of the sewer line on Vorndran
Drive where there have been flow problems in the past during times of infiltration/
inflow. I thank Mr. Tremper for bringing this to the forefront and advise the
Board that this problem exists today, an,d as Mr. Tremper states, is not related to
the Sherwood Heights pump station. \. --.--..
"-
..'-,-.....
I would strongly recommend that the infiltration pro~ramthatwe are starting now
to set up be implemented as soon as possible to insure that the existing condition
on Vorndran Drive is bettered.
V/J truly your~

RE:
Sherwood Heights Pump Station
This memo will serve as a response to your August 24, 1998
memo regarding the Sherwood Heights Pump Station operation.
The Sherwood Heights Pump Station is equipped with two
40 HP Smith & Loveless pumps, capable of pumping 100 gallons per
minute. There is no emergency generator located at the Sherwood
Heights Pump Station, but there is an enlarged wet well and
holdi~g tank to hold the flow during times of power outages.
Duri~g the extended power outage of 1997 it was necessary for
CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. to pump out the station by means of
a portable generator on an every two day basis.-
The current operation of the pump station consists of a two
pump operation in a lead lag manner. There are elapsed time
meter readings on each pump, which CAMO Pollution Control, Inc.
reads on a daily basis. During the month of July, which was one
of the driest months of 1998, the station averaged one hour per
day of combined pump operation. During the month of May, which
was a~ extremely wet month, the station averaged 1.4 hours of
combi~ed pump operation. As you can see from these elapsed time
meter readings, there are no problems meeting existing flow
demar-ds during dry or wet conditions.
; ~. ~
However, CAMO Pollution Control, Inc. has documented with
the Town that there have been problems with the sewer lines not
being able to handle the flows in the area where the force main
empties out onto Vorndran Drive. This has happened on occasions
of extreme flooding conditions in 1996 and has not been a problem
since. This problem is not related to the Sherwood Heights pump
station, but other infiltration problems within the Rockingham
Collection System where the lines become surcharged.
If you have questions or would like to discuss this matter
further, please contact me at (914) 463-7310.
