The MDH Fluoride Report and MPCA monthly DMR were submitted on 1/2. The MN DNR Annual Water Use Report was also submitted, along with the City's Annual Water Conservation Report. Traci and I completed the City's MPCA SSTS Annual Report in early January. • The lack of snow removal this year has allowed me to get caught up on some minor repairs and projects in the water treatment plant and garage that I've been wanting to get to since last winter. • Work has started on compiling records for the City's Lead Service Line Inventory. Minnesota Rural Water Association provided a template notice to send out to residents on the City's water system advising them to take a picture of their water service and send to city staff. Emily made some adjustments to the template and put together a really nice notification that she shared on the City's Facebook page and also included a copy with the water bills that went out in early January. We have gotten a really good response so far, and I'm planning on sending out one more notice with the next billing cycle. I'll probably give residents until mid -March to send us their information and then start going door to door to wrap up any remaining services. Lake Shore: • Quality Flow Systems will be installing two new raw sewage pumps in the Causeway lift station on 1/3 1. • Brian was called out for a STEP station alarm in late January. He was able to get the station working again temporarily until I could pick up a new compression coupling and make the repair.
