We have started the second <br /> round of leak detection which will encompass the area of our system east of Highway <br /> 169; once this is complete,the entire city will have gone through leak detection process. <br /> Starting next year,the entire city will be surveyed for leaks on an annual basis. The water <br /> operators have repaired the hydrants that were identified. We are in the process of <br /> working with the customer to get their service repaired, and are planning on repairing our <br /> water main leak in the coming months. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • June 2017 Pumping by Well <br /> • June 2017 Accumulated Precipitation Graph <br /> • June 2017 Daily Temperature Graph <br /> Page 1 of 1 <br /> 216 <br />
