Marc said the draw down test was done today for the new pump. He said the pump should be turned on and watched. Andy will turn it on.
Marc said the meter at the dance studio had problems and was not read. The serial number was not correct. It needs to be changed for billing.
Marc said there was a huge problem with putting the Neptune computer into the District computer interface with Quickbooks. A program written by Marc is up and running, but does have some broken links. He is looking at software online. A search of the old site will bring you to the new site. Right now, the new site is not linkable to the old site.
