Results should be back in a month or two. <br /> • We have completed the design and sent the plans to the Minnesota Pollution Control <br /> Agency(MPCA) for the infiltration basin at Well#3. As soon as we get permission to <br /> begin, we'll get started on the new basin. <br /> • The water operators,with the help of Tony Hubbard, completed hydrant flushing in 4 Y2 <br /> days. Everything went very well. We had a total of about 30 hydrants that required <br /> repairs; a much lower number than previous years. The operators are now in the process <br /> of completing the annual maintenance on roughly 150 remaining hydrants. After these <br /> hydrants are completed,the water operators will have performed preventative <br /> maintenance on all 1200+hydrants in four years. <br /> • We discovered that the bottom of the motor at Well#7 fell off, allowing the motor to fill <br /> with water. EH Renner is in the process of devising a way to retrieve the piece from the <br /> well. As soon as it is out, we will begin the reinstallation of the new pump and motor. <br /> • The building permit for the WTP #7 Expansion has been issued and construction is <br /> scheduled to begin on July 10. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • May Pumping by Well <br /> • May 2016 Accumulated Precipitation Graph <br /> rPDwEDED Dr <br /> Page 1 of 2 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P()WERE]) T o S ERVE <br /> 341 <br />
