Public Works printed out a very nice <br /> vinyl map for us to hang in our office. The process of updating our maps will continue <br /> throughout the year. As we find things that are incorrect, we'll make notes for the annual <br /> revisions. <br /> • With the warmer weather coming we'll begin exercising the gate valves that are located <br /> within the street project areas. <br /> • The operators have been very busy since we've been down one person. We had a string of <br /> bad luck with a couple of booster pumps going bad. In addition,we've had some <br /> communication problems between Well#4 and the Gary Street Tower. <br /> • It took a considerable amount of time getting Well#2 tuned back in after the reconditioning. <br /> Since everything is running so much better, we had to readjust all of our chemical levels. <br /> • Attended the Minnesota Department of Health Metro District Water Operators School March <br /> 31 through April 1 in Bloomington,MN. The education report is attached. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • March Pumping By Well <br /> • Eric Volk Education Report <br /> C.q P 0 W E D E D D 1 <br /> Page 1 of 1 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P O W E R E D T 0 S E 0.V E <br /> 157 <br />
