the weeds along the right-of-ways.
Water/Wastewater
Departments – Water/Wastewater Superintendent Nathan Hovick

equipment that needs to be updated at the wastewater plant. The DNR is giving them three (3) months to
come into compliance. The cost is
approximately $5900. Consensus of the
council was to purchase what is needed and asked Nathan to put together a list
of all the equipment he has and when and why it needs to be replaced. He was asked about the flow at the wastewater
plant due to the rain. He said it is
averaging about 400,000 gallon per day.
He was also asked if he was going to put a roof over the pump. He said he is planning on it, but they need

waiting for the DNR to come so they can tell him how they want it pumped to the
lagoons.
