Bids for Employee Health Insurance were submitted to the Trustees.

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.

Mr. Hayes made a motion to adjourn the regular meeting. Mr. Van Sandt seconded the motion, and all Trustees voted “Aye”.

Respectfully submitted, Carla Lankster, District Clerk
