Astbury Monthly Report
Don Neff presented Astbury’s monthly report and noted that all call levels were normal. Don noted that we had 6 pump failures this month. He had talked with Gasvoda about 2 pumps he had sent to them to get a quote for a rebuild. For a new pump it is $3,050 and to rebuild the pump is $1,400. Don called American Pump and their price for the same pump is $2,400. He would like to get the 2 pumps back from Gasvoda and get a rebuild price from American Pump and a local company. He feels like Gasvoda is charging us too much. With the local company there wouldn’t be any shipping cost. The board asked Don to get the pumps back from Gasvoda and get a price from the local company.
