All samples met MDH standards. <br /> • Completed 7 raw water nitrate samples, 7 treated water nitrate samples, and 2 radiochem <br /> samples. All samples are routine samples that we must do in order to fulfill our testing <br /> requirements with the Minnesota Department of Health. <br /> • 28 of the 40 rain barrels have been sold so far. Michelle Canterbury has been putting <br /> notices in The Connector to let our customers know there are still some left for purchase. <br /> • 228 fire hydrants have had maintenance performed on them so far this summer. <br /> • One Way Building Services has been working on installing the Verizon Antennas on the <br /> Gary and Johnson Towers. Both projects are expected to be completed by the end of <br /> August. <br /> • Pete has completed 595, of the over 800 curbstop ties, that are missing from our curbstop <br /> ties catalog. <br /> • Rodney Schreifels from the Parks Department called me a couple of weeks ago <br /> concerning a noisy irrigation meter at the Chamber of Commerce building. I went over to <br /> check it out and discovered that we have no record of the meter they're using for <br /> irrigation. We looked back in the billing, and to the best of our knowledge they have <br /> never been billed for the 5.2 million gallons of water they have used to irrigate their <br /> property. Rodney and Cal Portner are working with the Chamber to figure out how to get <br /> the situation resolved. <br /> MI POWERED DY <br /> Page 1 of 2 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T o S E R V E <br /> 145 <br />
