CITY OF PEQUOT LAKES <br /> MONTHLY WATER/WASTEWATER REPORT <br /> SEPTEMBER 2007 <br /> Prepared by: Tina Nolden(Water/WW Manager) <br /> WATER PLANT: <br /> On the 12a', I had Thein Well Company pull and service well pump#3. <br /> Everything checked out O.K. On the I e, Lance and Greg with PRASD,helped me <br /> replace the PVC in our aerator.Dave Guillet with Tonka Company highly recommended <br /> having it replaced. We had a power outage on the 2e,but there was plenty of water in <br /> the tower so we didn't have any issues with that. We have emergency lighting at the <br /> water plant as well as battery back-up to keep our computers running. <br /> WATER DISTRIBUTION: <br /> All is going well on the distribution side of things. Still deciding when to replace <br /> the gate valve in front of Whalen Woods. Trying to coordinate with Tom's Backhoe and <br /> Anderson Brothers,Tom says he can come.in around 4am to get the job done without too <br /> much interruption to our customer's. Hopefully we can then have the water back on by 9 <br /> or loam. <br /> WASTEWATER: <br /> On the 19a',Dave Bloch and Kevin Selfors with Electric Pump Company installed <br /> an Omni-Site alarm/analyzer on Lift Station#1 by UBC.Now,all of our lift stations have <br /> the proper alarms to qualify for the"No-Fault"Sewer Back-Up Coverage. When the <br /> power went out on the 2e,I had to use our generator to run the pumps at three of our lift <br /> stations. I had Northland Septic pump the Main Lift Station to avoid any sewer back-ups <br /> before I got the generator going.This prevented any additional problems.Karl Moon,our <br /> electrician,installed all new generator connections to the lift stations and he helped get <br /> the generator running at its best at each one.Everything went well.Once we were caught <br /> up,I had Greg with PRASD help me pull both pumps from the main lift station to remove <br /> debris and determine why pump#1 wasn't working right.It appears to have a bad seal so <br /> I'll need to have it replaced soon. On the 20,I poured some enzymes and bacteria <br /> booster into manhole#101 on the southwest part of town. This will help with grease <br /> issues throughout the sewer lines and lift stations. <br />
