The backup was investigated and we had the line flowing shortly thereafter. The following day, Nelson Sanitation televised the line for us and found a piece of concrete stuck in the pipe. Luckily, we were able to retrieve the debris with the jetter and the line is clear now.. 10) Now that the snow is gone I can finally get going on some of the seasonal maintenance that typically occurs a little earlier in April. Hydrant flushing/repairs, valve exercising, and prepping the spray irrigation system are a few things I'll be working on in the coming weeks. Work is picking up in Lake Shore and we'll be busy there in the month of May also. Respectfully Submitted by Andy Schwartz, Water/Wastewater Operations Manager, City of Pequot Lakes.
