The warranty inspection revealed a few issues, mostly related to painting and landscaping at the pump stations. There were also some minor cosmetic concrete repairs required on the interior of the reservoir and as a result we had to keep it drained for about two weeks. A lighting strike on the 19th affected several items at the treatment plant and Springs but they were repaired or replaced quickly.<\/p>\n

WASTEWATER –\u00a0<\/strong>A total of 35,<\/em>860,000 gallons of sewage were treated and used for irrigation. Minimum flow was 0.9\u00a0MGD on the 22nd\u00a0<\/em>. Maximum flow was 1.45\u00a0MGD on the 1st.\u00a0(rainfall was 0.0 inches on April 30th\u00a0and 0.2 inches on May\u00a01st).

STREETS<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>–\u00a0The street sweeping contractor spent 58\u00a0hours sweeping streets and collected more than 12\u00a0tons (17 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 154 lane miles. <\/em>Approximately\u00a0<\/em>26,000 lineal feet of cracks were sealed on various City streets.\u00a0<\/em>PW staff finished installing the wayfinding signs in May.<\/p>\n

PARKS \/ OTHER –\u00a0<\/strong>The drier weather in May allowed Parks staff to keep up with the mowing however the warmer weather\u00a0<\/strong>made the grass grow that much faster. PW staff installed water meters on the splash pad, irrigation service and rental house at Bornstedt Park. This will allow us to keep track of water usage for each feature and reduce monthly sewer bills which had been based on a single meter. The one year warranty inspection for Bornstedt Park was performed. The contractor connected the irrigation for the community garden to the on-site well which will further reduce utility bills. It was supposed to have been done as part of the project but was not discovered until the garden was prepared. The contractor\u00a0will replace several trees and shrubs that are not thriving later in the Fall. PW staff installed a new water service and standpipe in the dog park during May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
