1
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:23,460
Okay.

2
00:00:29,850 --> 00:00:31,470
Diane, is that you that's on?

3
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:41,100
Can Michael Miller please identify who you are?

4
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,300
I'm going to just

5
00:00:59,620 --> 00:01:01,280
remove you.

6
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,260
Hey, whoever, Michael Miller is on Zoom. Can you please identify yourself for the meeting?

7
00:01:38,500 --> 00:01:50,400
All right. Here we go. We're going to get started. This is Natalie Davenport for the Green Hills Water and Suer District Board. I call the meeting to order.

8
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:59,480
second. Perfect. And let me go ahead and pull up. We'd have to vote on the call

9
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,940
to order. I liked it.

10
00:02:08,750 --> 00:02:14,960
I'm sorry for starting like guys, I had a hundred kids

11
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:21,620
trying to get said. Okay, first of all we'll I'll read through the agenda and

12
00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:26,180
then we'll have the approval of the minutes, the approval of the July

13
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:29,880
disbursements and then we'll get a water system update and that's all that we

14
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,300
have on the agenda. Oh, I am sorry there is supposed to be no one that was

15
00:02:35,300 --> 00:02:45,980
published there is a customer issue. So okay, were there any questions about the

16
00:02:45,980 --> 00:02:47,260
board meeting minutes?

17
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:58,440
Just to I don't know if we need to talk about it again but you

18
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:09,540
You were awesome to look into that emergency preparedness and communications thing, do we follow up on that?

19
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,400
Yes, I will discuss that in the customer issues.

20
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,980
I said no, I approve.

21
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,680
I have motion to approve the minutes.

22
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,020
Great, I second, so we'll go ahead and vote, clerk.

23
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:27,980
And I'm going to as well.

24
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,060
The motion to approve the July 21, 2026 board meeting minutes passed.

25
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,800
Okay, the disbursements, let me go ahead and pull those up.

26
00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:43,660
And I will share

27
00:03:46,630 --> 00:03:48,530
my screen so Diane can see.

28
00:03:58,290 --> 00:04:00,390
Okay, Diane, go ahead.

29
00:04:00,390 --> 00:04:12,210
have? Okay, as we typically do, our first disbursement of the month is for Diamond

30
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:17,590
Waters Technologies for our ops and management fee, and that is for the month of June.

31
00:04:19,070 --> 00:04:28,370
Our next disbursement is a critical payment of $8,119 that is for our QBO monthly June

32
00:04:28,370 --> 00:04:33,370
description. They are going to be raising their rates here in a month or two.

33
00:04:34,610 --> 00:04:41,850
The next disbursement was check number 989 for Tom Summers and Sons excavating

34
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:50,710
LLC for $2008.80. That particular invoice was for the road patch that was

35
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:54,210
resulting from the fire hydrant repairs.

36
00:04:56,490 --> 00:05:01,730
The next disbursement, check number 984,

37
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:07,890
is for the Q2 Board stipends for our Treasurer, Clark, thank you.

38
00:05:08,690 --> 00:05:14,530
The next disbursement is for mission communications in $832.

39
00:05:14,530 --> 00:05:22,650
dollars we have two, I guess, telemetry as subscriptions one for each of the

40
00:05:22,650 --> 00:05:31,550
wells and that is an annual fee for both of those telemetry subscription

41
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:38,230
services. The next disbursement is also a Q2 board stipend for Nathalie or

42
00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:41,470
for Clark and Records Officer for 300.

43
00:05:42,150 --> 00:05:47,330
The next disbursement is for Dennis McFarland,

44
00:05:47,590 --> 00:05:51,110
check number 985 for $1,575.

45
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:58,590
And that is for the mowing that occurred in June

46
00:05:58,590 --> 00:06:00,870
for both of our sewer drain fields.

47
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,350
Next disbursement, check number 992,

48
00:06:06,350 --> 00:06:16,750
also a Q2 board stipend for our president. Greg, thank you. And then the check

49
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:28,310
number 990 is for Utah local government's trust for $38.16, almost $17. And that

50
00:06:28,310 --> 00:06:32,850
That is for our annual liability insurance.

51
00:06:34,650 --> 00:06:43,110
It covers both our, it also covers some equipment at the moment that will be needing to be updated

52
00:06:43,110 --> 00:06:50,130
once our Maple Treatment Plan comes online, but that is our total insurance as of that payment.

53
00:06:50,130 --> 00:06:58,310
Next Disbursement, check number 986, to Hawk Design for about $75.

54
00:06:58,510 --> 00:07:02,370
That is for our Q3 website hosting.

55
00:07:04,910 --> 00:07:17,110
Next Disbursement 981 for $225 is for Morgan Weiber Health, County Health, and they do, they did our waste water.

56
00:07:17,110 --> 00:07:21,170
It's a wastewater annual permit fee for our sewer drain filter.

57
00:07:23,390 --> 00:07:31,750
The next two disbursements to Rocky Mountain Power are well pump electric bills and those

58
00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:37,370
are within the normal tolerances for about this time of year, the amount of excess pumping

59
00:07:37,370 --> 00:07:41,390
that we do that we normally don't do in the winter.

60
00:07:41,390 --> 00:07:53,310
The next disbursement for Enbridge Gas is just the basic charge to have a net gas hooked up that will be being used for our maple treatment plant when it comes online.

61
00:07:54,630 --> 00:08:06,710
And then the last disbursement of the month is for me and it covers July bookkeeping and accounting services for 13-10.

62
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:13,810
Thank you, Diane. You're welcome. Are there any questions on any of these? Do I need to go over them some more?

63
00:08:14,770 --> 00:08:24,330
The only one, so Dennis McFarland, for some reason I thought that was paid last month but maybe it was just approved last month.

64
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:31,610
It might have been approved in June but not the check not written until July. It was a June. He did do his services in June.

65
00:08:31,610 --> 00:08:36,850
So that that was the spraying and the mulling, right?

66
00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:39,990
This is for the drain field sewer mulling.

67
00:08:40,110 --> 00:08:40,990
Yeah, let me pull up.

68
00:08:41,710 --> 00:08:42,290
Spray and mull.

69
00:08:42,710 --> 00:08:44,070
How big is that?

70
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:44,490
I am.

71
00:08:45,130 --> 00:08:46,290
I'll pull up majors.

72
00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:47,090
I find majors.

73
00:08:47,410 --> 00:08:47,610
Yeah.

74
00:08:48,230 --> 00:08:48,710
Okay.

75
00:08:49,430 --> 00:08:49,910
Yeah.

76
00:08:50,030 --> 00:08:57,290
So I think you're recalling the email information about it, but yeah, and I'll pull up his

77
00:08:57,290 --> 00:09:02,030
is actual because the other thing he does for us and sometimes is billing is a little

78
00:09:02,030 --> 00:09:07,270
bit lagging that is in the winter team. He has snow removal, although we haven't had

79
00:09:07,270 --> 00:09:16,890
any of that. But let me just pull up the past. Yes, there was a payment in June 4.

80
00:09:25,090 --> 00:09:25,550
Let me

81
00:09:25,550 --> 00:09:32,270
included some spraying the roads that go up to the tanks and the well.

82
00:09:34,490 --> 00:09:35,070
And then he

83
00:09:35,070 --> 00:09:40,690
didn't know the drain, the drain fields in May, but he did spray them. And so the

84
00:09:40,690 --> 00:09:44,950
June, this disbursement that we're talking about now is all the mowing for

85
00:09:44,950 --> 00:09:53,670
those, for both drain fields. Oh, okay. Okay. So there was, there was one from his

86
00:09:53,670 --> 00:09:56,110
work in May, and then this is for his work in June.

87
00:09:56,750 --> 00:09:56,990
Correct.

88
00:09:57,510 --> 00:09:57,910
Yes.

89
00:09:59,210 --> 00:09:59,610
Okay.

90
00:10:02,140 --> 00:10:02,540
Time.

91
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:04,260
I have no other questions, too.

92
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,240
Tom, is that a good price for mowing them, or should I have it?

93
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:08,580
Oh, yeah.

94
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,440
Is it?

95
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:09,900
Okay.

96
00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:10,320
All right.

97
00:10:10,560 --> 00:10:10,940
There you go.

98
00:10:10,980 --> 00:10:11,040
There you go.

99
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:15,240
The rocks and green hills.

100
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:16,960
You never seen them.

101
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,680
Imagine that.

102
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,400
Okay.

103
00:10:19,900 --> 00:10:20,300
Okay.

104
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:20,600
Okay.

105
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,120
motion to approve these payments.

106
00:10:25,940 --> 00:10:29,840
Okay, I second that so we'll go ahead and take a vote because we do have a

107
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:30,460
quorum today.

108
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,780
Clark? I go and I? Hey, and I'm an I as well. And thank you Diane

109
00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:43,460
for putting that together and reporting on it. Yes, thanks, Diane. Okay, our next

110
00:10:43,460 --> 00:10:49,620
item customer issues. So last month we had brought up and discussed the

111
00:10:51,380 --> 00:11:04,940
customers who were wanting reimbursement. I did reach out to both of them. The ones that contacted me about what we had discussed and we didn't have, we had a

112
00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:13,180
quorum but we didn't have, we were missing a board member and so I suggested that we table it that the official vote on not

113
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:27,480
reversing them. However, we have a quorum. I don't want to necessarily table it again. So are you okay if we go ahead and make a motion to on that and just vote on it tonight?

114
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:37,200
Yeah, let me know. The only thing that we can do maybe is, you know, what we do for what? We've got to do for everybody for the, you know, here on out forever.

115
00:11:38,460 --> 00:11:50,760
Yeah, and that was the issue as a president, so you were saying or maybe we need to do some sort of goodwill, something, but I don't know how to set a price on that.

116
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:51,440
Yeah.

117
00:11:51,860 --> 00:11:54,100
Is giving them $100 a slap in the face.

118
00:11:54,100 --> 00:12:04,960
I don't know, you know, we did try to give everybody water and so yeah, I don't know how to make

119
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:15,360
that fair for everybody here on out, but you know, just like you said, we do care, we do want to be,

120
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,980
we do care about our neighbors and we want everybody to be taken care of, we just want it to be consistent.

121
00:12:20,980 --> 00:12:31,780
And so, um, and yeah, just like you learned that, uh, and Tom has said, once it, once

122
00:12:31,780 --> 00:12:36,000
it gets to all of our property, we're kind of responsible for that.

123
00:12:36,340 --> 00:12:41,720
So, yeah, as long as there wasn't some negligence on the part of the district, which we determined

124
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,780
in this case, there wasn't.

125
00:12:43,060 --> 00:12:43,160
So.

126
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:45,540
There was just something that happened.

127
00:12:45,780 --> 00:12:46,360
It was, yeah.

128
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:47,720
It was mechanical failure.

129
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:57,020
it wasn't no way was it anything that was negligence on our part. It was just a mechanical

130
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:58,940
failure or a mechanical battle.

131
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:13,260
So yeah, I guess I make a motion to say we can't reimburse

132
00:13:15,820 --> 00:13:22,580
for their house. Yeah, for their house. Okay, I second that. So yeah, I vote aye.

133
00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:30,620
And I'm an I as well. Okay, water system update. Huh? What we got for us?

134
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,220
Well, where do you want me to start? What are you serving with the meters?

135
00:13:36,220 --> 00:13:40,940
In the meters are all done except for 14.

136
00:13:41,680 --> 00:13:47,260
Ten of them have to be raised and four of them were one-inch meters that were not net tens.

137
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:51,020
We're waiting them for them to be shipped in.

138
00:13:51,140 --> 00:13:57,360
They should be here before the next meter read and then within the next ten days

139
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,660
so we can get them in and get them activated.

140
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:05,560
the other ones we are awaiting because if we are going to dig them up and raise them up,

141
00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:11,380
I want to upgrade them so we don't got to worry about this anymore, which is putting dual

142
00:14:11,380 --> 00:14:17,840
check backflows on them. Okay. So I had to order the resetters with that on and they're coming

143
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:25,600
factory shit. Okay, can you explain for the Lehman what that is? When the subdivision was built,

144
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:35,160
Well, dual check, backflow devices in the meter pits was not a problem, not an issue.

145
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:46,900
But because of the cross-connection problems that we're having in the entire nation, the

146
00:14:46,900 --> 00:14:54,600
EPA and the State Division of Drinking Water has really stepped up their cross-connection

147
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,750
program where we are required to

148
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:29,800
People, the residents, and businesses, and the water companies to do whatever means is necessary to prevent cross-connection or contamination from back-flowing water, from residents or businesses into the main water system. So, the final place for that, if there's nothing.

149
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,960
in place above but the final place is in the meter pit which was eliminated from going back

150
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:44,180
into the main water system affecting everyone else on the system. So as we work on a meter or

151
00:15:44,180 --> 00:15:51,780
this or that, we always upgrade them. So if I'm going to have these dug up to raise them, I want to

152
00:15:51,780 --> 00:15:56,700
upgrade them so that it meets current standards.

153
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,380
Gotcha.

154
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,700
So the other ones in our system have already been upgraded, not all of them, not all of

155
00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:03,240
them.

156
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:03,480
Okay.

157
00:16:03,860 --> 00:16:06,780
Just the ones I've worked on in the last five years or so.

158
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:07,340
Okay.

159
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,740
There's probably 90% that have not.

160
00:16:12,260 --> 00:16:12,560
Okay.

161
00:16:13,140 --> 00:16:19,060
But because you're raising them anyways, okay, thanks for the clarification on that.

162
00:16:19,060 --> 00:16:23,380
So I'm just waiting for them because there wasn't one to be found in the state of Utah.

163
00:16:23,860 --> 00:16:31,640
I went to every distributor and they checked every store in the state and because they're all

164
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,540
there's five distributors in the state and they all have stored all over the state but there was

165
00:16:36,540 --> 00:16:43,640
nothing. So they was forced to reach back right to Ford which is the manufacturing company and

166
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:49,180
ordered them and they're just being shipped directly and factorship. So I'm a

167
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:51,600
commercial of the characters.

168
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,460
What's it going around this?

169
00:16:57,650 --> 00:16:58,510
All of them meet them

170
00:16:58,510 --> 00:17:04,470
things are probably about 250 pieces. I would imagine. You get five of them. No

171
00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:12,070
I'm getting ten of them. There's 14 left. Ten of them you have to raise and four.

172
00:17:12,070 --> 00:17:14,990
or I don't have to raise, I'm just changing the meters.

173
00:17:15,970 --> 00:17:17,330
So I'm not upgrading them.

174
00:17:17,550 --> 00:17:18,550
Some of them are already done.

175
00:17:18,990 --> 00:17:20,850
The one inch down at the bottom of their own,

176
00:17:21,670 --> 00:17:24,570
passes all places are already upgraded that one.

177
00:17:24,670 --> 00:17:27,090
I put that in a couple of years ago

178
00:17:27,090 --> 00:17:28,890
with a meter for Saturday broke.

179
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:31,170
So I just got to change that meter

180
00:17:31,170 --> 00:17:36,150
just on an empty meter, and there's three other one-inch meters.

181
00:17:36,570 --> 00:17:38,470
I only thought there was three in the whole system

182
00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:46,050
between about being like six. Okay. So. Okay. And as far as any

183
00:17:47,330 --> 00:17:53,870
guesstimate on the cost of installation. I bid, I bid all the ones that we just had

184
00:17:53,870 --> 00:17:59,010
to exchange the meters and $85 a piece. That's written bit, that's for that set.

185
00:17:59,890 --> 00:18:05,330
The ones needed to be dug up was whatever it took. But we should be able to do

186
00:18:06,570 --> 00:18:12,190
hopefully to a day, maybe three, depending on how much landscaping we have to

187
00:18:12,190 --> 00:18:15,850
put back. That's why they could raise this from landscaping.

188
00:18:17,550 --> 00:18:23,050
Oh wow. So you have to put the landscaping back? I guess. I hope I don't get to do that.

189
00:18:23,290 --> 00:18:24,110
I wouldn't you off your head.

190
00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:31,390
I don't want to have a whole bunch of more screaming customers.

191
00:18:31,830 --> 00:18:34,410
Yeah. No, you're right. You're right.

192
00:18:34,410 --> 00:18:43,310
You're right. I'm sorry. You know, it's some of it like, like, sounds, your neighborhood.

193
00:18:43,510 --> 00:18:49,190
We got to remove, tear down his whole retaining wall. No. I had a pick every one of those

194
00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:53,190
keystones out in front of these meters, because these meters down there are like seven feet.

195
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:56,950
Oh my goodness. I didn't even read that everybody.

196
00:18:57,890 --> 00:19:03,290
That's what I've said. These old leaders, the glasses, so far, so much moisture in them. We couldn't hardly

197
00:19:03,290 --> 00:19:10,050
we read. Wow. Okay. So having this done, and once we had done for the last months, for

198
00:19:10,050 --> 00:19:15,370
the first of this month's read, worked flawlessly. We only had one problem that was Brian C's

199
00:19:16,150 --> 00:19:21,830
and we fixed that immediately. As soon as it was red, they let us know we fixed it. And

200
00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:31,750
Greg's, we missed one number on the serial number for the new meter. So I took a picture

201
00:19:31,750 --> 00:19:36,170
After that today, I've sent it to clear works in Diane, so that should be fixed.

202
00:19:37,170 --> 00:19:42,410
We did have a couple of little one digits, we missed on a couple of meters, but I told

203
00:19:42,410 --> 00:19:48,170
Diane just to average the UC job to what it was last year or last month and just call

204
00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:52,110
a good because we just took all the more meters out and throw them in a pile.

205
00:19:52,110 --> 00:19:53,370
I don't know which is which.

206
00:19:54,770 --> 00:20:01,150
We didn't stack them in orders, we took them out, so we just emptied the trunk a little

207
00:20:01,150 --> 00:20:09,570
but so far the the readings are it's it's and we're getting great we're getting

208
00:20:09,570 --> 00:20:14,630
temperature I'm getting temperatures notifications of the water going through the

209
00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:20,890
meter and we're on whether the individual homeowners will be able to see it.

210
00:20:20,890 --> 00:20:28,070
There is an app that has to be purchased by someone, meaning whether we

211
00:20:28,710 --> 00:20:33,490
that charge the customers of what that, but there's a path that has to be purchased through

212
00:20:33,490 --> 00:20:40,010
meterworks that's downloaded and then if somebody wants the ability to read their old meter,

213
00:20:41,550 --> 00:20:47,450
we can with that app, we can give them their personal serial numbers and then they can

214
00:20:47,450 --> 00:20:49,950
log in and read their's live any time.

215
00:20:51,910 --> 00:20:58,550
Brother Nat, leader work said, if you don't purchase the app, it's not a good idea, because

216
00:20:59,030 --> 00:21:05,150
if you wouldn't just let everybody log in to Green Hills Water and sewer districts account,

217
00:21:05,890 --> 00:21:08,850
then they wouldn't know what everybody would purchase everything.

218
00:21:10,110 --> 00:21:11,050
So we don't want that.

219
00:21:11,490 --> 00:21:13,570
So there's an asset that has to be purchased.

220
00:21:13,570 --> 00:21:21,050
just each individual would have to purchase the, no, the company, Green Hill's water and

221
00:21:21,050 --> 00:21:26,470
sewer industry would purchase it. But if the people wanted to tie onto that, you could

222
00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:36,350
maybe say, well, this cost is $3,000, and your percentage would be this, but not everybody

223
00:21:36,350 --> 00:21:44,190
it would want to necessarily pay. So it was a tricky situation trying to figure out if that

224
00:21:44,190 --> 00:21:51,910
would be decent cost for the district to assume. Yeah. Do you know what that cost was, Diane?

225
00:21:52,170 --> 00:22:01,270
It just ended up being like, um, it was a lot per month. So our current subscription for the

226
00:22:01,270 --> 00:22:08,770
what we have is like $1,200 a year, $1,200 or $1,300, but this was going to

227
00:22:08,770 --> 00:22:14,830
add several thousand to that to be able to let customers and then whoever

228
00:22:14,830 --> 00:22:21,430
wanted to and so at the time there's so many things built into this that it'll

229
00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:28,530
give it'll do leak detection. It can send reports directly, hey this meter has

230
00:22:28,530 --> 00:22:36,430
been running consistently, or there's things we can do and the reports are really good.

231
00:22:36,570 --> 00:22:41,850
You can access it by that, but it just seemed like a lot of cost at a time when we had

232
00:22:41,850 --> 00:22:47,270
so much variability and flexibility, and we didn't know what was, you know, we can look

233
00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:51,950
into it again, but it wasn't small.

234
00:22:51,950 --> 00:22:53,590
No, there's people read their own media.

235
00:22:53,890 --> 00:22:59,370
Yes, what they have to do is go somewhere out and lift the lid and they take a lift out of the lid up on the meter.

236
00:22:59,630 --> 00:23:02,490
Shine a flashlight down in there and their numbers will pop up.

237
00:23:02,850 --> 00:23:11,070
The serial number will pop up first and then the meter reading will pop up and then the amount of water that's going through the meter at that time will pop up.

238
00:23:11,730 --> 00:23:18,630
So just keep rotating after you get, go through that series, they'll just keep rotating between the meter reading and the usage.

239
00:23:21,770 --> 00:23:33,510
Yeah, the district's policy, though, is that residents can knock in their meter boxes because that's a district asset, right, that belongs to the district.

240
00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:43,850
And if you, you know, it would be like, I mean, the your your electrical box, what does it call your power box, right?

241
00:23:43,850 --> 00:23:50,190
That on the outside of your gas, right, you can go and sit there and see it, right, attest

242
00:23:50,190 --> 00:23:55,050
your house, but you're not actually trying to access something in the ground.

243
00:23:55,310 --> 00:24:04,870
So the district's policy has always been, customers can't access it because you don't

244
00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:11,630
really want them, I mean, worst case scenario, right, something happens to it, something gets

245
00:24:11,630 --> 00:24:15,770
It's broken, yeah, you dropped your flashlight and it breaks it.

246
00:24:16,090 --> 00:24:24,730
And then we have no idea who was messing with what meter and people do it.

247
00:24:25,050 --> 00:24:34,870
We understand that people do it but our policy is that they can't because it is an asset.

248
00:24:35,310 --> 00:24:36,850
And I think it's the most destructive.

249
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:43,530
Maybe there could just be, I don't know, Diane, what do you think about this, or Tom?

250
00:24:46,550 --> 00:24:51,610
So for me, I don't care what my meter reads, as long as I'm not paying extra, right?

251
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:58,850
The second I go over, I want to roll out it so that I can, you know, fix whatever, you

252
00:24:58,850 --> 00:25:00,710
know, I luck to hose on, or I don't know.

253
00:25:00,710 --> 00:25:10,790
So, is there any way we could send alerts to the customers the second they go over?

254
00:25:11,890 --> 00:25:13,590
I wouldn't say the second.

255
00:25:14,110 --> 00:25:14,290
Okay.

256
00:25:14,490 --> 00:25:18,330
I mean, that would have to, you'd have to run and report Diane, right?

257
00:25:18,910 --> 00:25:25,130
Well, or there are ways, I believe, Tom, if I understood that training correctly,

258
00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:30,610
that we could have an alert sent when they reached a certain usage.

259
00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:35,510
So let's say our usage is 12,000 gallons per month, it is.

260
00:25:35,730 --> 00:25:42,410
So we could get an alert at the 10,000 gallon per month, at 10,000 gallons.

261
00:25:42,730 --> 00:25:48,670
And it would send an alert to Tom or I for that customer and then we could reach out to the

262
00:25:48,670 --> 00:25:49,890
customer at that time.

263
00:25:49,890 --> 00:26:02,330
I think one that's a better alert than that that can be activated is then meters will pick up intermediate leaks and continuous leaks and we can probably get with Neptune.

264
00:26:03,050 --> 00:26:12,870
And our on our Neptune 360 account and just set that up so as soon as the meter said there's an intermediate leak or a continuous leak.

265
00:26:12,870 --> 00:26:20,090
The next time you pull up Neptune 360, you know, that day or the next day, it would flash

266
00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:24,570
that alert, and then we could notify the people.

267
00:26:25,670 --> 00:26:30,730
Yeah, I think we're going to have to kind of see how this goes, right?

268
00:26:31,190 --> 00:26:36,130
I think more than one person has to have access to that, like board members die in myself.

269
00:26:36,130 --> 00:26:46,750
Yeah, so that we make it a habit just like I make it a habit to check the tank levels and the wells are remorning it about six and

270
00:26:47,670 --> 00:26:49,570
And then thank you

271
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:57,030
And then we can make the same thing if we get on our computers and we want to check

272
00:26:57,030 --> 00:27:03,770
You know wake the well levels or the take levels and this and that they just go one more step and go into meter works

273
00:27:03,770 --> 00:27:11,650
Next, Neptune 360, or Neptune 360, not meter works, and then go into readings or alerts

274
00:27:11,650 --> 00:27:17,510
or whatever, and it should be able to tell us, and then whoever picks up on it first

275
00:27:18,290 --> 00:27:22,510
could be the notifier, or we can notify Diane, and she could be the notifier.

276
00:27:22,990 --> 00:27:23,130
Yeah.

277
00:27:23,630 --> 00:27:28,790
And then it becomes a question of, you know, is that cost prohibitive for us, right?

278
00:27:28,930 --> 00:27:32,910
Like if, yeah, I mean, I think obviously the whole point of installing it so that we can

279
00:27:32,910 --> 00:27:35,710
and check it every day and detect leaks early,

280
00:27:36,030 --> 00:27:37,210
but then it's also like, okay,

281
00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:40,370
what is our daily cost for that?

282
00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:42,250
People will take advantage of that,

283
00:27:42,330 --> 00:27:44,230
they'll start calling it also and say,

284
00:27:44,770 --> 00:27:46,130
what did my meter read today?

285
00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:46,690
Yeah.

286
00:27:47,150 --> 00:27:48,810
What's my meter, what was it yesterday?

287
00:27:48,990 --> 00:27:51,610
How much did I use in 24 hours?

288
00:27:52,090 --> 00:27:54,490
I'm trying to figure out how much I can use,

289
00:27:54,630 --> 00:27:56,890
how much every day before you read it again.

290
00:27:57,430 --> 00:27:59,570
You know, it gets ridiculous.

291
00:28:04,850 --> 00:28:17,850
Yeah, and again, I think we probably need to flesh out all of these ideas and come up with some game plan once they're all installed because I think there's lots of possibilities, right?

292
00:28:18,070 --> 00:28:25,450
It could look like a weekly report sent out to every resident here's been your usage this week.

293
00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:33,030
but maybe that's too much, right? And maybe we decide that that's too, that that takes too much time and...

294
00:28:33,030 --> 00:28:39,630
You know, you probably maybe do that and somebody showed an intermediate leak or containers, but you wouldn't want to do it for everybody.

295
00:28:39,830 --> 00:28:50,410
Yeah, because the software, the software allows you to send out like a mass email to a mass email list.

296
00:28:50,410 --> 00:28:59,110
So this would require Diane or a board member or Tom to individually email every single person.

297
00:29:00,650 --> 00:29:02,670
Oh, Diane, you're muted, I think.

298
00:29:02,990 --> 00:29:05,150
Oh, no, you're not. Okay, so there we go.

299
00:29:05,230 --> 00:29:09,990
No, I think, so sending out customer notifications is not hard, right?

300
00:29:10,130 --> 00:29:14,270
And I'm on the emails virtually every day, sometimes I do take Sundays off.

301
00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:23,770
But if those leak notifications or alerts come on, we could definitely be, and if they

302
00:29:23,770 --> 00:29:30,150
just say, leak alert on whatever, even if it requires a log and that's not, that's

303
00:29:30,150 --> 00:29:39,190
well within something I think that, you know, we can and not do for customers now, tracking

304
00:29:39,190 --> 00:29:44,310
their usage and sending every customer their usage but that's a lot of labor hours.

305
00:29:44,830 --> 00:29:53,210
Okay. Yeah. Yeah. For special leaks. Which is pretty very much. Right. I mean you did that

306
00:29:53,210 --> 00:29:59,970
for me once. Just yeah so and that like I said we review it at the month end but

307
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:28,100
Now there's this other system and that was part of the reason, you know, that we were able to say, hey, this will help us stop and shorten our leaks, our leak, our leak detection and our leak notification and help us conserve water. So once those are set up, got no problem, you know, having those alerts come to me and Tom, but and, and then we'll see see each other or just come to me and I'll let Tom know that that came through and that I've contacted the customer. Yeah.

308
00:30:28,100 --> 00:30:34,500
even once a week is better than what we had before. Yeah, exactly, true. Yeah. Way better.

309
00:30:36,580 --> 00:30:45,020
Wait, yeah. I feel like we have lots of options. We can come up with some, you know,

310
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:51,500
lots of different ways to do things. I'd say for right now, though, we keep it at

311
00:30:51,500 --> 00:31:01,120
Just notifications for potential leaks and see kind of how this is going before we start.

312
00:31:01,500 --> 00:31:05,540
Well, I mean, maybe people don't really want to know their weekly usage, right?

313
00:31:05,740 --> 00:31:08,240
Maybe we're thinking ahead.

314
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,020
And then just leaks and overfold them.

315
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:14,120
Yeah.

316
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:21,640
Okay, and so I've had a couple of leaky fire hydrants and I exercised them some more and they're

317
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:27,840
quit leaking. I do know one that I did it. I have exercised it a quick leaking and a couple of

318
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:33,520
weeks later it was leaking again. So I got that on my list but that is one of the old old ones that

319
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:40,360
you can't get parks for anymore. So we probably ought to schedule that and budget that in to repair

320
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:46,760
that one. I mean, it works. It just leaks. But if it leaks in a way or time, it could freeze and

321
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:52,760
break and then we would have a bigger problem. Okay. So I want to bring that to the attention.

322
00:31:53,540 --> 00:32:03,860
And then the update on the filter plant is the wiring and the skater system or the communication

323
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:14,600
system that operates the entire plant is getting really close to being done and we are

324
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:21,500
about as far with that stuff until we actually have startup which you scheduled for next

325
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:29,760
Monday to start the startup process and which is going to take a little bit of time because

326
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:51,160
we got a we got a schedule it in between take fills because we're going to have to go to the plant, run the plant, and then hook it back up the old way to fill the tank, the maple tank, and then once we get this to where we're filling like we have everything dialed in, the communications is working right, we've got the right.

327
00:32:51,160 --> 00:33:13,940
the power going to everything that needs to operate on the electrolyte valves and everything in that aspect then we will tie it in permanently and we hope that's all done and said we're running filtered water by the end of next week and then west tech who provided the trimike system will stay there for whole another week and monitor everything and training

328
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,720
to so that it's automatically working.

329
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,340
and then they will leave, but they're only a phone call away, and they're in Denver.

330
00:33:25,820 --> 00:33:29,840
They just said, if we have a problem, they'll just pop a play and be right back out.

331
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:34,920
So by start up, we're saying that's the testing.

332
00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:38,620
Start the testing and that's scheduled for Monday.

333
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,720
And what will that mean for our customers on Maple?

334
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,780
Will they be without water for any time period on Monday?

335
00:33:48,100 --> 00:34:01,440
No, okay. The takes stay we're close to very full. Okay. So we have to cut two, three days and we could actually shut the water down and only drop to half. Okay.

336
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:09,520
So we can time that but I won't let it get to half. I'll always say we get we can drop two feet. Then we're gonna have to back up above the well.

337
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:17,160
Okay. So there's no notification that needs to be sent to customers about work or interruptions or anything like that. Okay.

338
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:27,280
And then back to the communications because the mission system was so old that we have in order for the maple tank

339
00:34:28,060 --> 00:34:34,420
to communicate with the new mission system, there was one part that has to be added at the maple tank.

340
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:45,300
And I was $2,800, they told me, but we waited, it wouldn't be here in time to run everything.

341
00:34:45,660 --> 00:34:52,240
So I told Donco Western, and I talked to Greg, Greg said, just tell him to order it, we'll

342
00:34:52,240 --> 00:34:52,820
cover that.

343
00:34:54,340 --> 00:34:58,800
Because that way, I don't want communications gone from our tank at all.

344
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,140
No.

345
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:06,780
So that needs to be installed before anything gets activated with the communications.

346
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:13,340
So and I think it may have got here today or tomorrow or very soon.

347
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:18,700
Okay, so that will be put in as part of startup or before startup and that will take place

348
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:27,440
of the radio that's up there in the transmitter and then will be a different type of transmitter.

349
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,080
Okay.

350
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:58,060
Yeah, yeah. So were you, would you be comfortable if I sent out a newsletter this week that just said, hey, they're going to be doing final testing on the treatment plan.

351
00:35:58,060 --> 00:36:05,780
plant next week. It should take a couple of weeks and then we should be up and running

352
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:11,800
stay tuned, right type of thing. So we have filtered water pumping up there and we get

353
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:17,440
some tests, then I want to clean it maple tape. Okay, but you're comfortable with bison

354
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:23,760
out on the newsletter just to update everybody and I'll let them know to be on the lookout

355
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,460
that we do want to have an open house so they can contour it in the future.

356
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,820
Like, once we get everything kind of, yeah, yeah, this is so true.

357
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:44,080
Yeah. Okay. Great. That will be well-received news, I hope, from our residents. So, awesome.

358
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,340
Anything else?

359
00:36:46,340 --> 00:36:46,600
Yes.

360
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:58,000
Now we've, like I said, the meters are 95% complete and it detects the filter plant

361
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,460
is doing really well, our tanks are full and everything's just running as smooth as

362
00:37:04,460 --> 00:37:06,820
I can expect it to run for right now.

363
00:37:09,420 --> 00:37:17,020
Okay. And I think, correct, do you remember this? I think we approved purchasing hydrants

364
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:24,060
a few months ago. Do you remember? Oh, well, there's valves that we approved to do little

365
00:37:24,060 --> 00:37:28,600
by little every month. We have one valve that really needs to be placed and it happens

366
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:34,700
to be in front of a hydrant that's stuck. Okay. I'll look through the minutes and confirm

367
00:37:36,300 --> 00:37:43,600
I'll let you know that we did say let's go ahead and get the parts sorted for the hydrants that we can rebuild.

368
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:44,280
Okay.

369
00:37:44,620 --> 00:37:46,060
That's what we said.

370
00:37:46,820 --> 00:37:50,640
And we'll deal with the ones that need to be replaced as needed.

371
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,300
As needed.

372
00:37:51,580 --> 00:37:51,800
Okay.

373
00:37:52,220 --> 00:37:52,340
Okay.

374
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:54,520
All right.

375
00:37:54,760 --> 00:38:00,100
So you'll just send us a quote on getting that one and we'll plan to them.

376
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:01,100
Yes.

377
00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:09,000
get that sometime after and it was the one that I'm talking about now is right

378
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,820
down there just above with with with with with some sense oh okay that one's been

379
00:38:13,820 --> 00:38:20,040
leaking on and off from yeah a while yeah and I keep exercising and it stops and

380
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:26,680
it starts to leak okay so all right it's the old patch that's hindered that

381
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,040
I just can't up your porch for.

382
00:38:30,860 --> 00:38:31,080
Okay.

383
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,700
All right, anything else?

384
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,840
All right, anything else?

385
00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:36,280
No.

386
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,960
Okay, I move to adjourn this meeting.

387
00:38:39,380 --> 00:38:39,780
Okay, second.

388
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:41,600

Yeah, thanks, Diane.
