NEW EQUIPMENT IN ALDERSON
The
Town
of
Alderson
has
acquired
a
new
piece
of
equipment
which
will
make
the
work
of
the
Town
maintenance
crew
safer
and
easier.
The
new
service
truck
was
necessary
because
of
the
Sewer
Plant
upgrades
which
included
new
pumps
at
the
lift
stations.
These
pumps
must
be
“pulled”
to
be
serviced
and
the
crane
on
the
old
truck
was
not
strong
enough
for
the
job.
The
larger
crane
is
able
to
do
double-duty
as
a people lift to safely raise workers to high places.
This
purchase
has
been
in
the
works
for
more
than
a
year
and
included
applying
for
grants
from
the
USDA
and
the
WV
Legislature.
The
rest
of
the
funding
will
come
from
the
sale
of
the
old
truck
and
the
Sewer Utility, Water Utility, and the general fund.
The
newly
re-elected
Mayor
and
Council
of
the
Town
of
Alderson
are
happy
that
several
revenue
streams
came
together
for
this
purchase.
Mayor
Travis
Copenhaver
said,
“This
service
truck
was
specifically
designed
to
make
work
safer
and
more
efficient.
I
appreciate
Rick
Burns
and
Eric
Duff
who
worked
carefully to insure it would meet our needs.”
