Plant operator reports leaks, meter adjustments and staff vacations

Rochester Water Board · August 4, 2026

Summary

Plant operator provided operational updates: one employee vacation Aug. 24–Oct. 1, recent leak responses at Country Meadows and Raven Crest (mobile-home park responsibility), and a fix for ultrasonic meters that required bleeding trapped air to restore flow readings.

The plant operator updated the board on routine operational matters including staffing, leak responses and meter diagnostics.

The operator reported one employee on vacation (Aug. 24–Oct. 1) and described recent leak calls: a leak at a mobile-home park (owner responsibility) and a larger in-residence leak requiring a shutoff at Raven Crest. On metering, the operator explained a new ultrasonic meter required bleeding trapped air via a bleeder screw for the meter to register flow properly, saying, verbatim, "You gotta bleed the air out of it to where because it's it runs off of basically ultrasonic." Board members acknowledged the operational notes and asked staff to continue monitoring.
