CITY OF PEQUOT LAKES <br /> MONTHLY WATERlWASTEWATER REPORT <br /> MAY 2007 <br /> Prepared by:Tina Nolden(Water/WW Manager) <br /> WATER PLANT: <br /> Things are well at the water plant this month.However,our water usage is <br /> considerably higher due to the problems at the Trailside Development.It seems the <br /> majority of their issues have been resolved now and I've been noticing the differences on <br /> my daily plant log.Hopefully,they will have everything taken care of soon. <br /> I attended a class at SCTC on May 9&and I&that went over chlorine feed <br /> systems. It focused on gas chlorinators(which we have)and we learned how to properly <br /> use them and how to rebuild them. We were also given a tour of the Sartell and St. Cloud <br /> Water Plants. It was another worthwhile class. <br /> WATER DISTRIBUTION: <br /> On May 15'',I was called out about 6pm for a water problem at Pequot Terrace. <br /> One of their stubbed-out water lines blew a cap off and the water came pouring out of the <br /> ground on the north end of the trailer park. I closed the valve to stop the flow of water <br /> and called in a locate knowing it would need to be taken care of soon.When Earl <br /> Hemmerich arrived,he decided to wait until morning to fix the problem.It was his <br /> service line,so he took care of things from there. He mentioned this being his second <br /> water line repair and is hoping we can credit him for any unnecessary sewer charges. I <br /> will have 7eanyne print out a bill history and see what we can do for him. <br /> On that note,we have had several customers interested in purchasing second <br /> water meters to avoid other unnecessary sewer charges. I believe that this summer will be <br /> much more pleasant for everyone now that we will be implementing this summer usage <br /> policy. <br /> WASTEWATER: <br /> May 15'',Mike Rude and I went over some ideas for Capital Improvement <br /> Planning. He put together a very nice layout of a potential plan. I will need to go over it <br /> some more and decide how to prioritize everything and figure out just how soon we <br /> would lice to have each item completed.We will also need to put together some ideas on <br /> how to pay for it all.This will take some time,but with Mike and Tim's help,we can get <br /> it moving. <br /> May 17th,Dave and Larry with Electric Pump Co. installed an Omni-Site alarm <br /> system on L.S.#3 at Brown and Heath St.They were in the area and had time for that <br /> one,and they will install one on L.S. #1 by UBC the next time around. <br /> May 22"`i,I attended a Spray Irrigation Refresher Class in Rochester,which was <br /> given by the MPCA.Another very informative class,but I didn't really care for the <br /> location.They pointed out that they're a state agency and had to go with the lowest bid! I <br /> guess we all understand how that goes. I learned about how to get the most out of <br /> irrigating,when and how often one should irrigate,and the various tools that are available <br /> to know how well the soil and crop are doing. <br />
