Water report: increased pumping and heat-related cellular meter failures noted
Summary
Minutes record 90,000 gallons pumped in two weeks and about 500,000 gallons in the July–September quarter; ten cellular meters shut off in mid‑July during extreme heat and the board discussed replacing lids and resetting or replacing the meters.
The meeting minutes record that village water staff reported elevated pumping volumes and equipment issues. The minutes state 90,000 gallons were pumped in two weeks and about 500,000 gallons in the summer quarter (July–September); it also notes the village has pumped more than in the previous year and a half.
The minutes document equipment problems: quarter‑ and dollar‑bill acceptors on bill machines were jamming (the board added a sign instructing 'NO Canadian quarters'), and 10 cellular meters shut off in mid‑July due to extreme heat. The record indicates the village needs composite meter‑pit lids and plans to reset or replace the 10 cellular meters that turned off. The minutes also note short-term staffing coverage: 'Sam' will be out for two to three weeks in November and Norm Jones will cover.
