 B. Culinary Water Management:  Karl Wilson states slippage is still a concern, the city is looking at the slippage through the meters looking for something that may have contributed to the slippage.  A company is coming in too show how to replace all the meters and test some of the old ones and get an idea of how much slippage may be lost through the meters.  Karl Wilson will bring to the next board meeting information to show data about replacing all old meters which will be all electric, so the city will have an additional savings in labor.  Karl Wilson shows the board the new software system SCADA that can be seen at a glance from the city office.   

     

C. Water Usage:

1. Culinary Water:  Karl Wilson states there is a slippage concern, refer to the chart given to the board, master meter is read at the end of the month resident meters read around the 15^th of the month.  Billed uses didn't go up much, refer to current chart.   

2. Secondary Water:   Refer to report chart given.  Year to date use is107.77 ac ft. which is in line with last years report.  The city is reading the new meter almost every day.  The filters are cycling every 30 minutes.

  

D.   Status of Secondary Water:   Karl Wilson enclosed a letter to the water users in the last billing in order to educate the public on water responsibility, Karl states this seems to be working, the city has had e-mails and calls reporting or asking about the water usage, it has helped the city staff to monitor the irrigation water.

         

 

•A.        Irrigation Project Building:  Karl Wilson states there was money left over, leaving enough to build a building around the controls in order to stop vandalism.  Karl recommends a 2^nd project for the filter system to secure the filters from vandalism he would like to pay cash for the project instead of increasing the loan.  The cost would be approximately $11,000. using capital project money.
