Phase 1 Project Issues

Construction Status updates:

  • At the new pump house they are pouring the pad for the electrical panel
  • At the Mountain park site, they set the framework to move the electrical panel
  • Charlie also reported that the pump station on the upper Lakeview Drive was damaged when a tree was taken down. If the station is not going to be kept, it will not be repaired.
