    B. Water shut off on July 26^th at the Underhill ID School due to a leak will be turned back on after new line put in. Marc meet with John Alberghini today to explain how the leak was determined. Plan to shut off River Road on Thursday, it is going to be a dry cut, cut out old and in with the new and plan to add 2 valves so the school would not have to be shut off if there was other work on that road to be done. John would like us to pay for half of the valves, Marc also mentioned to him that BRMS had also had a leak before. Jason made a motion to pay the I.D. school $2,500.00 for a valve Steve seconded the motion and it was approved. John will be contacted by Joe for a bill for the valve. 

     C. The cistern went dry due to aleak, had Steve Owen deliver water to fill it while the leak was looked for noticed the road caving in just in front of the Maple Ridge tank. It was a plastic line that had split across the top. Contacted Wayne Russin it was dug up and repaired. Marc got a price on controls for warnings and to control the height of the tank to work with our Mission system there would be one at the cistern and one at the tank to talk to each other. Cost approx. $10,000.00 

     D. Reagents for the Analyzer have been ordered for the year.
