The new media in the

operation has greatly reduced our backwash water

conditions continued again this month.

Storage, Inc. has completed the repair of the
small water storage tank by replacing a panel. We
are starting to refill that tank and will be
testing it very soon.

(4) bids on the well #4 connection project.
Staff will be suggesting a bid for your approval
very soon. We hope to have this well on line

add approximately 160 residential water taps or
40,000 gpd of capacity to the system.
