OPERATIONS
Mr. Dulle said everything is going good at the water plant. The Hydrants were flushed last week. One of the main Sewer lift stations had a pump fail, so we are waiting for a price on replacing that pump. There is a leak at one of the sewer lift stations at the Deerfield subdivision. It is at a line coming out of the lift station and we had to wait for it to dry up before taking our equipment in there to make the repair.
