Hamlet’s utility employees are getting some new equipment. Water and Street Superintendent Fred Rowe told the town council Wednesday that the water plant’s chlorine room needs a new scale, in order to remain in compliance. Council members approved the purchase of a double digital scale, for just over $22,000.
They also agreed to buy a new three-inch trash pump for about $700. It’s to help remove waste water from lift stations and similar facilities, if there’s a leak.
