Project Status-Phase 2

Johannessen and Kulinski line extension and meter installation:

Commissioner Harris motioned to modify Mr. Kulinski’s ‘Petition to Join the LWWD LID’ to reflect a revised responsibility to pay for that portion of the line extension (approximately 108 feet) that extends beyond the Johannessen NE corner, which would be the proposed connection point if that were the most western property in the LID. All other considerations of the waiver would remain the same, Commissioner Ratley seconded, Commissioner Klasell voted no; motion passed.

Homestead well situation: Right now the well is turned off and will remain that way until we need the additional water. The Commissioners and Charlie, our operator, discussed the issue. It was agreed that when the whole system has been completed, the well situation will be visited again and addressed.

McCord and Norris easement issue: Marc Marquis reported that Mr. Norris was satisfied with his explanation that the easement he has attached to his property does not mean ownership. Commissioner Harris informed Mr. McCord the same thing.

Upper meter installation: The contractor was under the impression that easements needed to be obtained before the meters can be moved. They were informed at the construction meeting that was not the case. They will move the meters when they find time.

LWWU old meter replacements: It was discovered that the 7 customers from the former LWWUA had 1” meters, which are larger than we are installing. POW will make necessary modifications when installing our new meters, which are smaller.

There are a few properties where the service line cannot be located. Charlie will let the clerk know who they are. Commissioner Ratley agreed to compose a letter, letting them know the situation and that the meter will be installed where planned and that it will be their responsibility to connect. Bob West’s property has had a new meter put in that is smaller than the original. Because of this and multiple dwellings on his property using water through this meter, he has reduced pressure. After discussion a decision was made to return his service to the original size.
