Montgomery’s main wastewater lift station pump failed, which carries all the sewage from town and is a critical component. According to Public Utilities Supervisor Adam Jirak, crews installed a backup pump in the meantime. 
    Jirak said that the failed pump was inspected but could not economically rebuilt. He also stated that the station’s pumps are not a standard size, so most companies do not carry a spare that would fit, which necessitates the city to have its own spare/back-up pump.
