# 10.6.2026 Sewer Commission

The Fall River Sewer Commission meeting, identified by its title as October 6, 2026, approved three wastewater-disposal companies—Kroom/Chrome Sanitation (the transcript is inconsistent on the name), 1620 Sanitation, and Pure Flow LLC—subject to the commission’s operating rules and required truck inspections. Staff reported $390,000 in disposal revenue received against a $1 million budgeted for the fiscal year. The commission also approved Wright-Pierce Amendment No. 9 for $232,700 to complete design and bid documents for the Ferry Street sewer pump station rehabilitation; the amendment would bring the design contract total to about $476,000. The project has State Revolving Fund low-interest financing approval and a $982,000 federal earmark, with construction contracts needed before June 2027.

The commission approved a Wright-Pierce design-services agreement capped at $978,600 for the Alden Street roadway and utility reconstruction project. The design covers sewer, water, drainage, pavement, and sidewalks; it is funded by a MassWorks grant, and the city recently received a further $5 million MassWorks grant toward construction. Staff estimated 8–12 months for design and about two years for construction. The commission also received an update on Inframark work authorizations funded from retained earnings: influent dry-weather pumps ($52,083.33), chemical pumps ($78,156), another pump-related authorization ($21,536), and a Vector truck ($577,559). Staff said these were within the contract’s administrative approval threshold, so no commission vote was required; the amount for the primary sludge pumps was unclear in the transcript. The older truck is expected to be sent to salvage auction. Approval of the June 16 minutes and adjournment were also moved and passed.
