A half dozen or more of those who have responded requested info <br />on sealing their wells. Due to this response, we are pursuing a grant, through the <br />Minnesota Department of Health for up to $10,000 to cover those costs and help get them <br />sealed. This is a great way to help protect our aquifer. <br /> <br />Downtown Water Main and Street Reconstruction <br />Staff and consultants continue to work on the plans and specifications for the Downtown <br />Street and Utility Improvements. The plans will be presented to the City Council in <br />November for bidding in December and early January. <br /> <br />Cedar Street Water Main Interconnect <br />The city has submitted an insurance claim for damage to an electrical panel and SCADA <br />controls related to a lighting strike. <br /> <br />Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve Maintenance Facility Sewer Hook-up <br />County parks staff has contacted the city requesting an extension of their sewer service to <br />some new office space at their maintenance facility in the regional park. <br /> <br />Water Tower Inspection <br />Our water tower and its coatings (paint) received a clean bill of health from KLM, our <br />consultants who were hired to inspect the structure, inside and out. Aside from a few <br />minor issues, the overall report is that our 15-yestem is still holding <br />up well. Some sediment (mostly sand) was removed from the interior of the tower, but it <br />did not appear to be excessive, or any cause for concern. The report recommends a <br />check-up again in 5 years. <br /> <br />The other good news from the water tower inspection is that our back-up systems, which <br />include our wells and interconnect, worked <br />notice the water tower was empty. Pressure around the city was down a few pounds from <br />normal while the inspection took place, but other than that, we were able to provide <br />continuous water service during the shut-down. <br /> <br />PARKS AND RECREATION <br />Committee Vacancy <br />The parks committee has one open seat. <br /> <br />
