IntroductionIntroduction

Public works is the combination of physical assets, management practices, policies, and personnel necessary for government to provide and sustain structures and services essential to the welfare and acceptable quality of life for its citizens.     American Public Works Association

In 1974 the first Public Works Director was hired in Lisbon and tasked with planning, organizing, and directing highway functions, sewer operations, solid waste disposal, and other miscellaneous functions. The Lewiston Daily Sun, September 23, 1974

Daily Routine– Assist citizens – In addition to helping the elderly or handicapped we direct citizens in proper

separation of their recyclables– Collect fees – Items such as shingles, couches, mattress, wood, etc. require fees to be collected at

the time of disposal. – Transportation – Annually nearly 4500 tons of materials are trucked by staff. Examples are: trash

to MMWAC in Auburn, bulky waste to Grimmel industries in Topsham, shingles to Commercial paving in South Portland, wood and sheetrock to MB Bark Mulch facility in Auburn, etc.

– Packaging – Three balers are used daily to make cardboard, newspaper and mixed paper bales which are stored in trailers until full. We also store CRT’s and electronic devices as well as tires until the volume is large enough to be picked up by third parties. Waste oil is tested prior to being pumped into a larger holding tank.

Laboratory Work Collect required samples to complete lab testing Conduct pH testing on Influent and Effluent Settleable solids testing is done on the Influent and Effluent Settle-o-meter testing is done on the contents of the aeration tank Check the Dissolved Oxygen level of the aeration tank and adjust it if

necessary Total Settleable Solids (TSS) testing is done on the Mixed Liquor, Return

Activated Sludge (RAS), Sludge Holding Tank (SHT), Influent and Effluent Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing is done on the Influent and

Effluent on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The tests are put into the incubator for five days and are read on Saturday, Monday and Wednesday

Daily Rounds Check the level of the Sludge Holding Tank to determine wasting needs Exercise the Return Activated Sludge pump and grab the RAS sample Check sludge blanket depth in the clarifier Rake the aeration tank discharge bar rack Visually review operation of all systems

Additional Seasonal Requirements May 15th to September 30th the Effluent is chlorinated requiring additional

testing Maintain a Chlorine Residual in the Effluent of 1.0mg/L or less (levels tested

twice a day) De-chlorinate the Effluent sample used for the BOD testing E-Coli Testing is done 3 days a week

Sewer Department (cont)

Sludge De-watering Sludge dewatering is done to remove excess solids from the plant system on

an as needed basis. The amount of solids in the system will determine how often we dewater during the week. We usually dewater twice a week for 8 hours a day at this time of the year . Once dewatered the sludge is hauled to a composting facility.

Sewer Department (cont)Pump Station Inspections The pump run hours are logged The condition of the equipment at each station is visually inspected to

identify leaks, abnormal sounds, or evidence of improper operation. The float switches are checked for proper operation and cleaned when

necessary The valves are exercised regularly to ensure they operate freely The wetwells are visually inspected to determine if cleaning is necessary The standby generators are inspected and fluids are checked. They exercise

automatically once a week Removal of grit from the Davis Street pump station

Sewer Line Cleaning All sewer lines in town are cleaned annually starting at the line furthest

from each pump station and working towards the individual pump stations. Lines with a buildup of sand and rocks will be vacuumed while cleaning. It takes 2 people approximately two to three months to complete this effort
