$739,500 project ONLY if the bond passes. \u00a0The state will pay 2\/3 and loans at<\/p>\n
below\u00admarket\u00advalue interest will cover 1\/3 of the cost.<\/p>\n

current storage tank area. \u00a0A steel tank 28\u2019 high and 25\u2019 in diameter will improve<\/p>\n
water pressure. \u00a0Streets will not likely be involved.<\/p>\n
A resolution to hold a bond election passed unanimously***.<\/strong><\/p>\n 5. Updates:<\/p>\n a. Health Advisory \u00a0<\/p>\n i. The second water tests were clean. \u00a0There are five locations tested each time and<\/p>\n one where the bacteria issues originated will continuously be tested in the next few<\/p>\n months to ensure safety. \u00a0Two tests per month rather than one will monitor the<\/p>\n situation. \u00a0<\/p>\n ii. One family was concerned with a child\u2019s sickness after the chlorine shock. \u00a0A lower<\/p>\n concentration will be used. \u00a0Mike H. & Tom will talk to this family.<\/p>\n iii. Kevin asked if we chlorinate regularly. \u00a0No\u00adcosts would go up if we chlorinated<\/p>\n daily since additional testing would be required and the taste would deteriorate.<\/p>\n b. Water request for 5 houses closer to Brickyard Hill.<\/p>\n i. Vivian asked what happened with the request and the answer was nothing. \u00a0The<\/p>\n person has not been heard from.<\/p>\n c.
