A. Well #2 Replacement Pump
The Board asked Stephen to explain the need for a new pump. Stephen began by
informing the Board that while performing normal well flushing this year Permar
called Stephen with a ground storage tank low level at Well #2. After testing the
equipment there seems to be a hole in the pipe and if we are digging in the ground for
some pipe replacement the pump should be replaced at the same time. The pump for
Well #2 should pump 300 gallons per minute and it is down to pumping closer to 200
gallons per minute. Current unit is 16 years old. This pump and motor has pumped
30 million gallons a year for the past 16 years. The new pump and motor will have a
three year warranty on the parts. Stephen recommended hiring Larson Pump to
perform this work.
Discussion was held and the budget was reviewed for funding this project.
A motion was make by Bartels and a second was made by Cornish to authorize the
expenditure of $22, 000.00 for the Well #2 pump replacement with work to be
performed by Larson Pump. Roll Call: Ayes, Stone, Keppy, Bartels, Timmons,
Crowe, Cornish. Ayes 6, motion carried.
6. Adjournment
Dick Stone made a motion to adjourn. Mike Bartels seconded, all ayes, motion was
carried. Meeting adjourned at 6:17 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
