CUA 2003-04. CM DeLaRosa asked if there is anything that can be done to not have this happen again and how long has it been since an engine has failed. Water/Wastewater Director Eric Fraser responded that this is an old blower, it runs 24 hours a day and they are trying to use a different gas. This failure was discovered prior to the engine actually failing and the last time an engine failed was about 3 years ago, but not the same engine. CM Chastain asked why it is an emergency and what is the life expectancy.
