The City of Plymouth hopes to improve its employees’ safety with a couple equipment purchases, with some help from the Indiana Public Employers’ Plan. Utility Superintendent Donnie Davidson told the board of works Monday that the city received two IPEP grants.
Clerk-Treasurer Jeanine Xaver says they’ll help cover nearly $11,000 in equipment purchases. “He had applied to get, for the water department, inflatable trenching shoring equipment,” she says. “For the sewer department, he had applied for a multi-gas monitoring system, for inside confined spaces.”
She says the grant will pay for 80 percent of the cost, with the city covering the remaining 20 percent. IPEP is the workers compensation provider for Plymouth employees.
