reported that cracks were filled on Torrison, Brennan, Berge, and a portion of North
Jackson. The parking lot at Memorial Park is aging. It was discussed that it could be
crack fille d and resealed to get more years of longevity, prior to the need for
reconstruction. It will be looked into and discussed with the school district which
shares expense for the lot. Road Salt for the upcoming season is increasing by
$4.47/ton, we utilize about 60 Ton annually. The DNR has mandated that the utilities
need to perform ammonia tests on its water system this fall. The Safe Drinking Water
Loan Application for the Well #2 Reconstruction Project has been submitted to the
state for review . Total phosphorus effluent concentrations for the month of June
averaged 0.206 mg/L, under permit limit, but above the MDV of 0.2 mg/L resulting in
payment to the variance program. The DNR has now also implemented an additional
permit for all sewage sludge generators to test and monitor for PFAS and have set
limits. After sample results are analyzed, it will determine on how the future
operations and cost will be affected for our biosolids and land application programs.
