Correspondence – The district was notified that the Little Suamico Plan Commission will take under consideration the possibility of two apartment buildings (one four unit and one six unit) to be constructed on Tamarack Trail and Cross Road. There is an 8” line servicing the property and the sanitary dis trict could accept the inflow from the proposed buildings. Agenda Item #1 - Maintenance and operations report: Update, discussion, possible action – Troy Schaden provided an update and indicated the new compressor at the treatment plant needs mechanical attention and is likely past the warranty period. The reject pumps are likely worn from sand passing through them during summer 2024. Inflow is going to the secondary pond rather than the primary pond. The inflow is about 40 to 50K gallons per day and the pond should be rising. There is a possible blockage. Gre at Lakes will be contacted to examine the situation with the ponds. Gunshot damage was done to one of the buildings at the treatment plant . It appears this was a deliberate action and Dan reported Oconto County Sheriff is investigating the incident. Agenda item #2 - Stub-lateral Greaves Property East Frontage Road and Update Connections Pending East Frontage and Lilly Lilac Road Sewer Extensions with possible action – Dan Herzberg reported he spoke with East Frontage Road property owner Michael Roth regarding making connection to the sanitary sewer. Mr. Roth received an estimate of $85K, due to the length of the lateral needed to service the home. The property current ly has a newer conventional system. Due to this property has a newer conventional system and the cost associated with installing the lateral, the board determined it is not cost effective for Mr. Roth to connect.
