All samples met MDH standards. <br /> • Angela worked with the controls company to complete the SCADA upgrades to Well#7. <br /> The backwash system is now repaired and working like it should be working. The <br /> upgrades also included updating the controls at Well#9, which allows Well#8 to be <br /> controlled from Well#9. <br /> • We are continuing to sell rain barrels to customers who want to conserve water. 26 of the <br /> 40 rain barrels have been sold so far. <br /> • 154 fire hydrants have had maintenance performed on them so far this summer. A <br /> number of private hydrants are included in that number. I've attached a picture of what <br /> the private hydrants look like when the maintenance is completed. <br /> • We had some warranty work completed on the Gary Street Water Tower. Some of the <br /> roof was missed when the final coat was applied in 2011. I worked with Kelly Mulhern <br /> and Classic Coatings to get the work completed. The missing section constituted about <br /> 25%of the roof. <br /> • Pete has completed 350, of the over 800 curbstop ties, that are missing from our curbstop <br /> ties catalog. It's a daunting task and he's making great progress. <br /> • Mike and I climbed the Jackson Street water tower to paint over some graffiti on June <br /> 18th. We did file a police report. <br /> POWERED 0Y <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br /> 93 <br />
