Managers’ Report
Don informed the Board that 2 copper valve water leaks had occurred and approximately 400,000 gallons were lost.  This was due to the bad copper valves which have been replaced at all sites with Stainless Steel ones. 
Don Peterson informed the Board that the 2017 audit has been put out for quote. 
Don informed the Board that the current bookkeeper has left SBHWS and a new bookkeeper is needed.
Don Peterson notified the Board that the Blue Water Tower which was struck by lightning which knocked out the SCADA system at the tower is back in order.  It was determined that the tower was operational and the insurance company will be sent the cost of the damages.
NEW BUSINESS
          Spring Creek Acres, Harry Johnson talked to the Board about the Fire Hydrant in Spring Creek Acres and its capabilities due to a recent fire in the area and the inability of the fireman to use the hydrant.  Don Pederson noted that the fire hydrant could have been used but only as a free flow water source but water could not be pulled from it.  It was determined that personnel were unaware of the two valves that needed to be turned on for water to flow.  The Board all supported the use of the water for fires and to make as convenient as possible for the Fire Departments to access the water and awareness to turn on the hydrant and its capabilities.  The Board thanked Harry for his taking time from his job and informing the board of the problem.
            Fall River Water District, Keith Neugebauer informed the Board that there is consideration of connecting to the SBHWS and drawing water from the system for their use.  There were several questions and AE2S will work with FRWUD on the connection.  Fees, construction costs, minimum water draw, and other related questions will have to answered.
