  • The leak by Phillip Wards was not a leak, it was plugged up by dirt and gravel and vacuumed out it is taken care of
  • Shawn was going to go check and see if the wire has been hooked up on the property line between us and Hulmes.

 

Water:

  • The water leak across from Tueller’s and broken shut off valve on hydrant is not a serious thing and will need to be fixed in the Spring.
