Abor Hills Lift Station Generator – Updated quote is $33,000. Pumps run about 2 hours a week. Ehler and Odeen thought getting another portable generator may be a better value. Only 2 lift stations are wired for a generator… Arbor Hills and Floral Ln. Southdale and Hillcrest lift stations serve customers that have private wells. Odeen mentioned that rentals are always an option. In 12 years, Arbor Hills maybe had one power outage to affect the lift station. One time prior to 12 years there was an extended power outage which caused a sewer back up. Sterling asked about testing the generator and Odeen responded that they run once a month. Staff were directed to get quotes for a portable generator. 6. Administrator Report. A congressional funding request was submitted to Congressman Van Orden and to Senator Baldwin’s office. 7.
