Operations and Maintenance: • The MN Department of Health Monthly Fluoridation Report was completed and submitted. • On Sept. 29th,Dean with Fargo Water helped us repair the fire hydrant on West Lake Street. Everything went well and the fire hydrant is now working properly. • It was noted while making daily checks, that one of two air compressors at the water plant was not operating. After determining that it appeared to be electrical, Karl Moon felt that it was indeed the starter for this compressor. In March,the other starter was replaced, and has been working fine. • After making a check on the recently repaired de-humidifier, it was discovered that it had lost all the oil for the compressor unit. Due to the recent repair of this unit, Mid- State Refrigeration looked at this again. Since all work was under warranty,the technician felt that due to the age of the unit another attempt to repair again would be costly and would exceed the cost for a new one. Since they are able to get this unit at a reasonable cost($2550.00)with a three year warranty, a new unit will be budgeted for in the spring. • Due to recent problems dealing with a valve issue at the plant, a service rep. from Tonka Filter investigated the cause and needed to replace a solenoid valve in the control panel to get the main valve to work properly. Another solenoid valve was found faulty and we were able to install a new one. • Ordered and installed air dryer filter parts to prevent moisture problems in air lines.
