You have to do 411 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,720 everything through the site. 412 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,400 So, it's it's pretty difficult. 413 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,160 Um 414 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,880 So, we're working on that. 415 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,640 Um, when I talked to the state on the 416 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,360 other end where we received the the 417 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,400 funds from, not who we have to report 418 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,360 to, 419 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760 um, everything was cleared on that part. 420 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,360 I just would hate to use it and say, 421 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,000 "Hey, you know, where's it at? Or what's 422 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,600 y'all use it for? Or was it used for the 423 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,240 correct, um, 424 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,120 items?" Which, again, I'm pretty sure 425 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,440 they were because it was the COVID funds 426 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,880 and all the relief that we got from 427 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,280 that. Um, we've already spent that. 428 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,320 We've sent the information to them. So, 429 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920 but again, just being super cautious. 430 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:15,840 Um 431 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720 Other other items that we looked at, um, 432 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,680 as far as major 433 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:26,550 Um, there was the 434 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,040 There was a wastewater treatment plant. 435 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,400 There was the playground equipment. Oh, 436 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,000 um, 437 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,080 also putting funds aside for the 438 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,920 completion of the project at the 439 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,600 wastewater treatment plant. Um, so when 440 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,200 the park board comes together, then 441 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,880 we'll start throwing ideas on what we're 442 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,720 going to do and come up with a concept 443 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,839 and bring that to council. And 444 00:16:45,839 --> 00:16:47,520 what we'll do with that is, um, we're 445 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,120 going to set aside 446 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,800 What was it? 60 60,000 for that? Roughly 447 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,240 60,000 and that's hot funds, 448 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,640 um, to complete that park there. But, I 449 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,240 want to bring the park board in to, like 450 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,800 I said, discuss design and bring it to 451 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:02,480 council. 452 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,000 >> Okay. 453 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,800 >> But, uh, the wastewater, there's a plant 454 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,640 there's the water projects. So, the 455 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:17,040 water projects as well. Um We're running on, um 456 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:18,959 on normal funds. In other words, we we 457 00:17:18,959 --> 00:17:21,000 don't have a lot of extra other than our 458 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,360 regular maintenance for that. So, we'd 459 00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:25,760 have to 460 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,199 we have to get a little creative, but we 461 00:17:27,199 --> 00:17:29,960 can use the 150,000, I believe, that we 462 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,680 have there to do small projects. 463 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,200 >> Okay. 464 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,560 >> Um to do some upgrades on the like we've 465 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,400 been doing the upgrades on the valves 466 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,440 and and sections of pipe as we go along. 467 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:40,200 Um 468 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,800 but we'll need to really get a uh 5-year 469 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,400 plan together in the future on what we 470 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:47,880 can do and how we can set money aside 471 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,680 for that. 472 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,120 >> Do you have cost estimates for that 473 00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:52,240 already? For the water, I mean, is it 474 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,200 something that can be measured by linear 475 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520 feet or what um 476 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,000 No. 477 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:57,760 >> How do we do that? 478 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,240 >> We went by the amount that we have 479 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,080 without having to raise water rates. 480 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:01,400 >> Okay. 481 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,840 >> So, we use that and then as we go, we'll 482 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,360 go and replace the valves or, you know, 483 00:18:06,360 --> 00:18:08,360 but as far as water main and major 484 00:18:08,360 --> 00:18:11,680 projects, we have the one that still needs to be 485 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,080 engineered to cross the canal. And that 486 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,120 engineering for that that that project 487 00:18:16,120 --> 00:18:17,360 is going to be close to a million 488 00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:17,920 dollars. 489 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,400 >> Sure. 490 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,160 >> So, we got to figure out a way to do 491 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,720 that as well.

They have um a front end um 828 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,040 a front end option where it uses 829 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,560 cellular service, so residents can see 830 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,640 how much they're using. 831 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,120 >> Mhm. 832 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,080 >> And that'll go We actually checked with 833 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,240 FundView, I think, and they they talk to 834 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,320 each other, too. So, our new software 835 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,080 for utility billing will talk to these 836 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:45,840 new meters. 837 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,160 >> Okay. 838 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:46,760 >> Um 839 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,920 but they're um it's one piece, also. So, we 840 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,560 can track one number, not uh not the 841 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,240 antenna and the body of the meter. 842 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:56,600 >> Right. 843 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,080 >> Cuz the other thing that I I didn't 844 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,080 never really was too fond of is the 845 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,960 parts on the inside of the meter. They 846 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,520 all wear down, so if you're just just keep changing the top, you're still 847 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,680 not getting an accurate reading. These 848 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,880 have the um what is it? The sonar that 849 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,520 it uses on the inside that'll uh keep an 850 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,040 accurate reading throughout the life of 851 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,200 the meter, which is roughly 20 years. 852 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:17,880 >> So No moving parts. 853 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,200 >> No moving parts. And um it also 854 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,440 >> What powers the sonar? Just a battery? 855 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,360 >> Yeah, yeah. 856 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,440 >> 20-year battery?

So, if the battery goes 859 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,120 out or the screen display goes out, then 860 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,480 you take it back to them and they'll 861 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,480 swap it out. Usually, the way that works 862 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,080 is you'll you'll pay for the new meter, 863 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,320 you'll send them the old one, and 864 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,360 they'll see that it's broken, and 865 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,440 they'll give you credit towards your 866 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,760 account. That's usually how that works. 867 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,640 But some of these meters also have the 868 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,840 capability to give you 869 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,240 hydraulic information in your system. So 870 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,800 the more of these meters that you have, 871 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,200 you can get pressure tests and 872 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,280 readings throughout so you can get the 873 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,520 hydraulics of your system and kind of 874 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,080 have a better understanding of the flow 875 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,840 of water and volume. 876 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,440 Some of these have 877 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,240 There's also components that you can add 878 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,840 to fire hydrants as well and even valves 879 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,600 that that run that. So 880 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:10,720 >> Okay. 881 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,640 >> Um we can continually get numbers. We're 882 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,680 also looking at 883 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,040 on the wastewater side of getting the antennas 884 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,560 and the sonars that it's a sonar that 885 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,800 you drop in the manhole and you drop it 886 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,240 about halfway. So as the water levels 887 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,000 rise, you'll get alerts and it'll map 888 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,320 out where your most the most amount of 889 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,240 infiltration is coming into your system 890 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080 on the wastewater side.
