Operations and Maintenance: • The MN Department of Health Monthly Fluoridation Report was completed and submitted. • Delivered 11 delinquent water /sewer bill notices. • Nov. 18`h, Larry and Shane with TC Pump Technologies, replaced the check -valve on High Service Pump #1 at WTP. • Nov. 23`d, flagged necessary fire hydrants. • Picked up a Commercial Driver's Manual to study for a Class B Commercial Driver's License with Tanker and Air -Brake Endorsements, per Mike Loven's request. • In the month of October, Earl Hemmerich (Owner of Pequot Terrace Mobile Home Park) became aware of more broken water lines. He promptly hired Stumvoll Excavating to dig, locate, and repair these lines. Unfortunately, a lot of water was lost, prior to these repairs. Like always, he will be charged for all of this water. He's hoping that he doesn't have to pay for additional sewer charges, considering the fact that this large amount of water never made it into the City's sanitary sewer system, it went into the ground. Mr. Hemmerich will be attending our Council Meeting. • I have been talking with Tom Ryan (my liaison) about my position in the Water /WW Dept. and would like Council to consider changing my title from Water/WW Operator to Water /WW Supervisor. I feel that this title more accurately reflects what I do for the Department. I understand the "extra" responsibilities I will have with this title and I am very confident I can handle all that this will involve. I would appreciate your support.
