Coli. We followed the resample protocol set forth by the MDH and all <br /> resamples tested negative for Total coliform/E. Coli. <br /> • Completed 20 routine fluoride samples. All samples met MDH standards. <br /> • The motor control center(MCC) and the variable frequency drive (VFD) for Well#3 <br /> have been installed and started up. <br /> • Mike Langer and Pete Neilsen have been working hard to complete their annual well <br /> maintenance; Well#6 has already been completed. The operators are working on getting <br /> Well#2 ready for the painters who are scheduled to come in to sandblast,then paint the <br /> filter and all of the pipes. The process is very similar to painting a water tower. First the <br /> filter and pipes are sandblasted,primed, and finished with two coats of paint. The new <br /> paint should last at least another twenty years. <br /> • Angela Hauge has completed gathering the points for the new valves and hydrants that <br /> were installed this past year. As far as we're aware, 100%of the points for the valves and <br /> hydrants have been collected and sent to Bolton&Menk for addition to our online GPS <br /> mapping system. Angela added 67 valves and 36 hydrants to the database. <br /> • Angela Hauge has continued to work with the CSRs to check and validate any <br /> discrepancies within the billing system. <br /> ATTACHMENT: <br /> • December Pumping By Well <br /> PVDEDED D1 <br /> NATURE <br /> Page 1 of 1 WI <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D To S E 0.V E <br /> 135 <br />
