  • Update on Wastewater project. Raising of manhole covers completed and inspected. Three of the concrete surroundings have cracked.  Will monitor the others and recommend action next week.  They will be fixing a few of the repairs to road.  Pipe sections have been videoed and all were repaired.  One needs to be re-repaired at north end of the City.  It was damaged when filled.  Another leak at the south end of 89 was identified and will be fixed.  The north one will be covered by the contractor, the south end will be covered by the contract. These may be fixed using Val Kotter method on both locations. Thirty-four vented manhole covers were installed.  Te contract was right on with pavement cutting and raising manhole covers.  They lifted manhole lids and the flow in the pipes has been lowered.  Up the canyon lines are still flowing kind of full.  There is still a hole in the road at the intersection of 1st West and 4th  Jason will talk to Bear Lake Construction.  RD wants everything ready to go on the 15th.  Reseeding may need to be completed in the Fall.
