• Clerk provided update onthe EQ and Emergency Storage (ES) tanlcs at the WWTP. White

Marsh purchased a sump pump, which was not part ofthe original design ofthe plant, to remove as much from the ES tank with a sump pump and pump it into the EQ tank. This will keep the ES tank as empty as possible to hand any influx ofwaterthat comes in thru the plant during heavy periods ofrain.

• There was an overage charged by John English for the ditch work completed on Maryland

Avenue. This was due to when the culvert was dug out, the dirt was higher and built up in the pipe so when it was removed, the ditch had to be lowered further to allow for proper flow. This would then prohibit maintenance by the property owner. Therefore, newpipe was installed and covered to allowproperty owners access across theirproperty.
