Most, if not all, of the mechani
by Hurricane Ike. In the days after the storm, when contractors were extremely hard to find, we were
able to get Bayou Electric to provide some emergency work in order to get the Sabine Pass WWTP &
LS back into service. We were able to salvage very little of the system, but provided most of the
material ourselves. The only electrician available to perform this work was Bayou Electric, Inc., of
Orange, TX. Bayou Electric is known to us as the electrician that installed the lift station electrical
systems for the prime contractor during our last sewer projects.

We will apply for funding from insurance and/or FEMA for these expenses. Eligibility has not been
determined at this time. Account No. 121-2300-901.92-00, project no. IKESPS will be used for this
purpose.
STAFFING/EMPLOYEE EFFECT
City staff assisted with the installation and will operate this equipment.
