PPSSD – Supervisor J Stegmeir reported that winter operation has started at the treatment site. The electric bill and Septic Check bill will be considerably less. There is more flow this winter because Arrowhead Lodge is running and the new owners of Burchells are up here more and have connected to the system. There will be more flow now so we will have to have pumping done (3 loads).
