There are currently spigots on tanks

New Business

Annette Hillman may want to be on the board. Tim Pendleton will check bylaws to see if there is a set number of people that can be on board. Currently, there are 7 board members, are we allowed to have more?

Electrician/Schematic – Don’t have one, office girls are going to see if they can find one. Don’t know anyone that does that anymore, does RA Camp have someone that does it? Alma is waiting to hear back about an electrician from them, will ask if they have someone that does that.

Valve Exercise Procedure – Barry Braman talked to guys at mutual group, they hire a crew to do it. Brought up that we have grid system – we turn off 2 valves & open fire hydrant. Tim Pendleton will check with Ron for procedure or Barry will check on procedure.

Low-pressure repair status; switch from site 1 to Site 2. Tim Pendleton will find the paperwork on the status and talk to Garry E.

LIRA/SB998 –Tabled from the last meeting. Starts Feb 2020, already have documentation, need to come up with the procedure. LIRA/SB998 says 60-day notification to disconnect/turn off water, have to contact by phone, mail or in-person & offer to set up a payment plan. If they make one or more payments then stop paying, need to start from the beginning with 60-day notification, etc .Low-income procedure coming up, the state has not figured out how that needs to work.

Tank level sensor solution – Roger will clean sensor and see if that takes care of the problem. Don’t need to go into tank. Still in ramp-down period to get to adjudication level we need to be at.
