Monthly Staff meeting:

Discuss balance between maintenance manager responsibilities

Project Manager package

Initial Discourse

• Initial discourse: projectmanager-AI-wanderdownthegardenpath. Recorded on mobile via StackEdit.

Key aspects, overview:

• Leverage scaffolding, configuration, pypi, pipx, and cookiecutter to standup the projectmanger.py class and the projects/project/ structure for each project in a software
• common project directories: configs, exports, imports, code, secrets, scripts
• non-common: media, scripts, export and import sub directories

Continued discourse:

• projectmanager-pipx-pypi-cookiecutter

Cooldown Meeting:

1:10 PM

• screw pumps
  • screw pump 1:
  • Discern why the rotating unit is higher than it needs to be
  • Kim: You can run it but it won't pick up the volume of water it is processing
  • Landmark is coming out to do the concrete - Harvey Woodall or Gary Young should call them
  • Screw pump 4: GMW has the bottom rotating units.
• Raw sewage pump
  • Harvey said that Motion is coming out at 8 am tomorrow to get the mag from raw sewage pump 1.
• Scum pump at secondary:
  • Daniel says they will continue to use the small vac truck to keep the level down
  • The big vac truck is currently out
  • Frost has the same company come to pick up his boxes.
  • Daniel says it is mostly sludge from the north unit, not debris.
• dewatering
  • Daniel says it is ready to operate on the 7-3 shift
  • The number 8 press has error codes on the HMI
    • all the data boxes are filled with the word "error"
    • Jack says typically indicates that the processor is crapped out or there is a corrupt program
    • Carlton Mull will be back tomorrow to look at it
    • Studio 5000 is the relevant troubleshooting program
    • We have an order with Shannon to buy programming computers for the presses
  • Seven presses are currently running
  • Carl wants Dalvin and Ivory at dewatering tomorrow. Someone will need to work the lab in place of Dalvin.
  • We want to put in a full month of dewatering to achieve good capture rates - Don's goal.
  • Frost: asked for clarity on schedule: only 5 days a week, for one shift?
    • Chris: yes, for now, while we train, but eventually we will run 24/7.
• Reaeration blower
  • Gary Young is working with Lonestar on bearing issues.
  • Units 2 and 3 are operational
• Wasting
  • Daniel: MLSS has been down
  • We have all of our primary sludge pumps
  • 2A is not coming up. Why - Daniel will investigate. We expect the level to be rising. Check the values. Worst case scenario - it is puddling up somewhere.
• raw sewage pumps 1, 2, and 3
  • Hypothetical engineering firm meeting to design a new system (assess price and timeline)
  • Air conditioning issues
• Lagoon 1:
  • Stacey Bullard - how long before we can use it?
  • Chris: it will be a little while - we may want to consider diverting everything back to lagoon 1 soon
  • Daniel: going away from the current balance and converting to lagoon 1 can negatively impact our good numbers. Let us figure out the peroxide issue first with USP.
  • On BioRem, they're currently just running gas through, I.e., they can stop pushing gas through for a day or two, no trouble, if need be.
  • FY26 is here, now is the time to improve.
• FY26
  • Project costs for the coming year, in a foreman meeting
• Vehicles
  • Ivory: who will be doing the maintenance?
  • When will be order new vehicles?
  • We were invoiced for five trucked within FY25 with Russell Mull (currently on his desk) and Russell Heaston (tags), but we are still waiting on delivery
• New employee
  • Terrell, mechanical operator
