Water/Wastewater System Operator: Andy informed the Authority that he was looking for the leak and they thought they heard it outside of the Fire Co. Andy then talked to Ryan Zeigler president of the Fire Company to be sure that there was not a toilet stuck or a shower leaking in the basement of the Fire House. Andy called off the dig for now as the leak seemed to have gotten better. Andy also informed the Authority that the fire hydrant can be capped off when the weather gets nicer. The grinder pump at the Mulberger residence needed to be repaired as there was a bad compositor; Andy replaced the bad one and also purchased a spare. Andy also informed the Authority that he tried to turn the water off at the Billy Bender residence but was unable to because the shut off broke. Roy Adams will be replacing the curb stop either Thursday or Friday. Andy as stated the pole at the water shed is still pending and on his list. The Bretzgels asked that that water lines be located as they want to put fence posts in so Andy wanted to let the Authority know that they would be seeing a bill from Bobb’s Plumbing and Heating for this work.
Solicitors Report:
Dean is getting the updated figures for the liens to Michetti’s office.
Old Business:
Dean is going to handle the delinquents and shut offs with Andy. The list of improvements still pending is: Put grates on head wall of 18” pipe at well site and the canopy modifications. Andy is to work on the canopy modifications when he has time to do it. Paul suggested that the Authority look again at the grates when the walk through is done and then he may be able to get someone to fabricate what is needed to make the repairs.
New Business:
Dean informed the Authority that he was in contact with the CPA and he will be down to get the 2016 information as soon as tax season slows down.
