Water
Water Operator (WO) Report
WO not present. Mr. Ververka spoke with Mr. Trujillo.

Discussion followed regarding lack of reporting by WO. Mr. Ververka plans to call Mr. Trujillo in regards to this. Ms. Star requests manual for new chlorination pump to be obtained from WO.

Mr. Ververka reports that samples have been taken from several residences and all were within normal ranges, in fact residual was minimal.

System 1 and 2 Status
Mr. Ververka reports that System 1 is functioning well. Mr. Corn comments that the leak rate is down to 13gpm, from 20-24gmp, which is almost a 50% reduction, and the lowest leak rate since 2009. Mr. Ververka also notes that leaks seem fairly evenly distributed after testing, so that the Leak Detection company will need to survey entire system, as leaks were not narrowed down to one particular area.

LevelCon status. Mr. Ververka has been trying to contact Chuck at ISACS to review why levelcon isn't shutting off.

Chlorination Concerns
Mr. Ververka plans to call Mr. Trujillo to arrange chlorination sample to be taken at resident's house on Los Griegos, as requested by resident.

Meter Project
69 cans have been installed, out of 145. This puts the project at 46% complete.

DCS agreed to do the work next year at the same rate as this year. Contract
renewal for DCS is still in process. Mr. Brophy is working with Dave Raue to complete signatures, etc. on contract.

Meter Can Data Readings.
Suzanne Star is working on a spreadsheet for data gathered from the meters. There will be an email (meters@SLPPOA.org) for folks to contact about their meter readings.

Discussion followed concerning publishing the data from the meters and how to do so without identifying individual homeowners or properties. Privacy concerns were noted. Meter ID numbers are random, and would not identify particular properties. It was decided to review this issue at the annual meeting as well as next regular meeting to come up with a plan.

Leak Detection
Mr. Ververka is working with Leak Detection company to schedule their work here, dependent on their obtaining helium since there is a shortage and on volunteers here doing the meter loop testing to determine best place to start. Residents whose properties might need to be crossed during testing will be notified.

Sanitary Survey
Fence that was taken down for previous work will be re-built. Mr. Brophy will call One Call to mark the location in the meadow prior to scheduling work party, probably around Sept. 19.

Roads
We only received two out of six loads of milllings ordered due to contractor problems. Pete is scheduled to begin some grading.

There is $26K in Roads budget for the remainder of the year, some of which will need to be reserved for snow plowing costs. Mr. Brophy has also contacted Dave Raue to investigate his ability for more road work.

Legal
Mr. Brophy reported that four vacant lot owners will receive letters of collection from Attorney Hayes. He was waiting on the legal lot description to complete the letters. Additional liens will be filed.

Shut off procedures in place for one resident, and two others will be notified of imminent shut off. Mr. Ververka will contact Sheriff to accompany him during shut off procedure, and Ms. Kilburg will place notice on door of resident.
