Summary
Maintenance staff reported Electric Pump repaired lift station two and installed a rebuilt main lift-station pump for $1,823.50; maintenance also reported an unexplained water loss of about 10,000 gallons per day and MN Rural Water will return with listening equipment to investigate.
City maintenance staff reported that Electric Pump repaired lift station No. 2 and installed a rebuilt pump for the main lift station. The invoice for the work was $1,823.50; council approved payment of the invoice on a motion by Bobbie Wosika and seconded by Dan Riggs.
Maintenance staff (Reid Watson) also reported an unexplained water loss of around 10,000 gallons per day, "which is equivalent to a toilet running," and said the loss is not going through the lift stations. Reid said staff have been searching for wet spots and listening to hydrants; MN Rural Water will return with listening equipment to locate the leak.
