5.1
Water Department Report
(Danel)

Pumping is down at the treatment plant, average per day 360,000 gallons. This morning is was 315,000.

Well #2 is not up to full pressure and is not enough to go into the treatment facility. We will be pulling the pump out this spring, possibility one of the
bowls is leaking. This will be fixed. The Bussell tank has been ordered and we hope with weather permitting to have it up and running in April. Verizon
found two breaks in the line to the Hodgson tank controls. They fixed the shorts and it seems this caused the problem we were having with the controls.
This spring we will be replacing the west end of the river crossing. We only had a few leaks and they were at Veterans Park.
