• Completed two THM/HAA5 samples mandated by the MDH.

• The water operators have been very busy servicing fire hydrants. So far they've
completed 338 of 422 hydrants scheduled for maintenance in 2015. All of the private
hydrants have been completed and all of the customers on the private hydrant
maintenance program have been sent copies of their inspection reports. The fire marshal
will also receive a copy of each inspection. After the scheduled hydrants are completed,
they will be moving onto the hydrants the HOG Chapter will be painting on September
20. In all,more than 500 hydrants will receive maintenance this year.
• Slack Painting washed the exterior, and repaired approximately 100 spots on the Auburn
Tower. We also repaired many spots last year. The Auburn Tower is scheduled for a full
recondition in the next few years. I have attached a picture of the crew washing the tower.
• Troy Adams, Mark Fuchs, Justin Femrite, Peter Beck, and I met with Alex Bodnar. We
laid out a few options for the Heritage Park Development. We will wait and see what
route he takes.
