• Brenteson Companies assisted us with installation of an air release valve on the water
main in the cul-de-sac of 196th Circle and a manhole structure over it. The air relief
valve will ensure that any entrained air in the water system is automatically released to
eliminate issues that have been identified in this area of excessive air in residential
plumbing. Water service to residents was not interrupted for the installation.
• The initial service line material inventory of all service connections in the water
distribution system submitted to MDH has been reviewed and approved. Public water
systems must provide notification to consumers of the availability of the service line
materials inventory. Public water systems must also provide notification to consumers
that are served by galvanized service lines requiring replacement and material unknown
service lines. Notifications will be provided by the November 15 deadline.
• SEH staff is test pumping an ERMU monitoring well located on 1981h Avenue to
determine potential flow capacity and water quality of a future municipal well at that
site.
