From the Hartford City Common Council meeting on November 2, 2026

Hartford City Common Council approved spending a little over $15,000 on Nov. 2 to repair a backup pump used for three city lift stations.

The pump was already at a repair shop when the council considered the expense. The unit is needed as a spare for wastewater operations rather than as an equipment upgrade.

Water entered the pump's stator and caused a short. The failure involved moisture and a chewed cable. The repair would return the backup unit to service for the city's wastewater operations.
