Although it was a warranty repair, we did incur some costs; we were required to do some controlupdates to meet the new warranty standards, the labor for EH Renner, and any additional materials required to reinstall the pump. • The mixer was installed for Gary Street Water Tower. The mixer will help us maintain a higher quality of water in the tank and will also help reduce the amount of ice that builds up, which will in turn prevent ice damage to the paint. New OSHA compliant fall protection was installed in the tower as part of the interior reconditioning. In addition, Jeff Smith from the fire department brought a tender to help us wash out the inside of the tank.
