Frankfort Approves $134,531 Maintenance Contract for Wastewater Plant Filters
The Frankfort Village Board has approved a $134,531.17 agreement with Veolia Water Technologies, Inc. for critical preventative maintenance at the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. The contract is for the complete overhaul and rebuild of three of the plant’s four disk filters.
According to village documents, these filters are essential to the final stage of the water clarification process. The decision to proceed with the preventative maintenance was prompted by the failure of one of the filters last year, which required costly emergency repairs.
“The project includes a complete overhaul and rebuild of three disc filters which are essential to the final stage of clarification in the treatment process,” Trustee Jessica Petrow explained while presenting the item.
Veolia Water Technologies is the original manufacturer of the filters, making them the sole-source provider for the specialized work. The contract was reviewed and recommended by the Committee of the Whole at its July 9 meeting. Funding for the project was included in the approved fiscal year 2025-2026 budget.
