PUBLIC UTILITY REPORT • Water Department Daily Operations Update • Wastewater Department Daily Operations Update Director of Public works, Ken Bloom, updated the Commission of the daily operations of the Utility for the month of August. His full report can be found in the Agenda Packet. 7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Update on Well #5 Cherek worked with Strand Associates to get together bid documents for test well drilling. A 2-week Advertisement for Bids publication will be in the Record Review September 9th and 16th. Bid opening is scheduled for October 1st at 1:30 pm. Test well drilling will occur near Well 1 and at the new potential location off North Ridge Road. Cherek will be resubmitting the Clean Water Fund loan application due to delays in the project and is working with Ehlers on the PSC audit for the conventional rate case. b. Update on Cure-In-Place-Piping Project The project is up to date on payment of bills for the work completed. There is a large amount of contingency left in the budget. The Village, with Matt from Vierbicher, are looking to add more areas to the project utilizing as much contingency as possible. There are 2 sections of pipe that are beyond the point of lining and need to be dug and replaced before lining can occur. September 4th, Matt will be here to paint the sections that need to be replaced so a dig can be scheduled. c. Update on 4th Street Lift Station No real update since the July 29th meeting. d. Discuss and Establish Dvorak Sanitation Holding Tank Dumping Rates i. Discuss Implementation of Dvorak Sanitation Dumping Contract * Moved to after Item 3 Bloom noted he has not seen issues with permit limits in the 2-month trial period of Dvorak dumping. Cherek proposed establishing a holding tank rate on the Utility Rate sheet as opposed to doing a contract. Holding Tank rates would stay consistent with sewer rate increases. The Village Board would adopt via resolution after the Utility Commission establishes the rate. No rate determination was made at this time. Cassie Lang Village Clerk / Deputy Treasurer MOTION – Approve the Extension of Pilot with Current Rate of $13/1,000 Gallons Until a Rate Can be Established Motion made by Handrick second by Seiler. Motion passed by voice vote. 8. NEW BUSINESS a. Discussion on Guidelines for Public Works Construction At the August 19th Plan Commission meeting, Cherek shared draft guidelines for residential development. He brought to Utility Commission to determine the utility portion of guidelines. Commission members w ill be sent the draft for review and will discuss and finalize draft at next meeting. 9.

Motion passed by voice vote. Marathon City Utility Operations & Facilities Report For September 2026 Water Treatment Facility Report The water facility is operating well and meeting all the monthly testing requirements. A fire hydrant on 4th and Spring Valley Drive (by the school) broke during a Fire Department drill/training session. Wisconsin Hydrant Repair will be onsite September 29th to repair the broken hydrant. The hydrant will not completely shut off, so water continuously leaks out. The service valve to the hydrant was closed until it gets repaired. It is cheaper to repair this hydrant than replace it. While Wisconsin Hydrant Repair is here, they will also attempt to fix the 8” watermain valve on Sonnentag Lane. The operating nut/bolt on top of the valve broke, so we cannot currently operate this valve. If they are successful, they will be able to reattach the operating nut from above ground and eliminate the need to excavate the roadway to make this repair. The operating stem for the drain valve on the west side retention basin at the water treatment facility is broken, so the tank cannot be completely drained, cleaned, and inspected when needed. The retention basin overflow pipe is also presumed to be cracked, allowing water to periodically overflow out the backside of the water treatment plant. Lane Tank Company is preparing a quote to drain the tank and repair both the drain valve stem and overflow piping to that structure. Update on new water meter reading software – Cassie Lang Wastewater Treatment Facility Report The Wastewater Treatment Facility met all permit limits for the month of August 2026. The Rotork air actuating valve on Aerobic Digester A has not been consistently working properly. The actuating valve adjusts the airflow to the digester as needed, by opening and closing the valve a certain percentage. Currently it is not adjusting the airflow as intended and is under aerating the digester, which can cause treatment issues long term, regarding biosolids and land spreading limitations. I will be contacting the Rotork Representative for Wisconsin, LAI, to inquire about this issue and get the problem resolved. UPDATE 9/26 – The quote from LAI for $2,176.00, to have a technician onsite to fix the issue with the Rotork actuating air valve was the cheapest. The quote was signed and set back to LAI in June 2026. A technician is scheduled to be onsite on September 29 th to fix the valve. Adequate aeration of the digester is very important to get proper treatment of biosolids to meet all DNR permit limits, prior to land application. (Update at the meeting) Wastewater Treatment Facility Report (Continued) We have been having an issue with the pumps losing prime at the Spring Valley Lift Station. This has caused several off-duty call-ins over the past month. The check valves are not sealing properly allowing water to drain back into the wet well. The solution is to replace both check valves. Both manual plug valves will also be replaced during this project since they are very difficult to operate. The plug valves are the original valves that were installed in 1982. I’m currently in the process of getting quotes and purchasing the 4” plug valves. We have both check valves in stock, in our inventory. UPDATE 9/26 – The check valve/plug valve assembly on Pump #2 (West Side) has been replaced. A 5” spool piece was also replaced due to rust and deterioration of the pipe. The plug valves are the original valves from 1982, when the lift station was installed, and were very difficult to operate when needed. The east side valve assembly (Pump 1) will be replaced in the next few weeks, as time permits. The annual required biosolids sampling is scheduled for the week of September 28 th. This includes fecal coliform, nutrients, and heavy metals analysis. Sampling for PFAS concentrations in our biosolids (now required annually in our permit by the DNR) will also be conducted. Results of the sampling, including PFAS concentrations, will be shared with the commission. The DNR has set an interim strategy for land application of biosolids based on monitoring results. PFOA + PFOS at or less than 20 ug/kg (ppb) is the threshold for imposing any additional requirements or reductions in land application rates. Currently we have approximately 100,000 gallons of sludge (biosolids) in storage, ready for land application this fall. Effluent PFAS sampling continues once every 2 months. So far, our results are looking very promising, that we will not need a PFAS minimization plan; however, we still have approximately a year and half of sampling to complete, prior to any determination for additional DNR requirements. The effluent disinfection season ends October 1st. The UV lamp racks will be removed, cleaned, and put in storage for the winter. The UV disinfection system will be shut down and put into winterization mode until late April 2027, prior to a May 1st start-up.

KAB-9: Account 465 (Other Water Sales) – The Utility responded these are pump house sales. What are pump house sales? Are these sales metered and billed under Schedule BW-1? If not, explain what rates are used. CC-2: The utility didn’t indicate whether/how it explains the budget plan review at 12 months to customers. Please provide additional details. CC-3: The Utility did not revise the budget payment application as requested. It still contains the language “in the event service is disconnected, it shall be reconnected only upon payment of all past due charges and reconnection fees.” Please refer to the original question and provide more information. If you want to discuss any of these questions, let us know and we can set up a short meeting. Otherwise, please respond within one week.
