WATER REPORT:

Robert informed the BOD that the test results from Lead & Copper are really good and the Bacits.  There is a minimum chlorine level maintained per State requirements. The meters are read and Biessenberger’s reading was correct showing 71,000 gallons of water thru the meter.

 

Goff Engineering is 90% complete.  Steve will need to sign the design plans and then it will be sent to the State for review and approval.  There will then be a request for bids, not request for proposals.

 

SKYWERTZ & CENTURY LINK:

Century Link is interested but Shywertz would be quicker on the installation.  Marsha will resend the copy from Bud Smith to the BOD.  The District will actually have 2 links but not all residents will be accessible for service.  It just depends on location of their lot.
