DALE BISHOP’S REPORT

Marcus Loser filled in for Dale Bishop for this month’s regular meeting. All water and sewer operations are normal. Shutoff list and red tag operations are normal. New floats were installed in the Copperfield lift station. The new generator was installed and is running at the water tower. New fence has been installed around the new generator as well. An arborist from Hoerr Nursery came out to Copperfield Park and looked at the tree in the middle of the play area. It needs to be fertilized. The new mulch for Copperfield Park was delayed due to timing issues with purchase approval and availability of mulch. It is coming soon. Aaron Barrington asked if rubber mulch was an

option. Mr. Loser stated that he looked into rubber mulch, but loss of mulch due to heavy rains causing mulch to float away was a big problem. Jack Esterdahl added that the health concerns associated with rubber mulch also make it a poor choice. Both lift stations have been cleaned. Copperfield lift station has an issue with a butterfly valve that has failed. The past weekend was spent monitoring the pumps and maintaining the lift station in operational status. The village will hire a contractor to come in to install new parts.
