Pum house Facilities Discussion
The Commissioners discussed doing an overhaul to the Golden Valley and Crystal
pumphouses instead of following the regular maintenance schedule due the current
electrical system being out of code and the lack of availability of parts for the control
system. This work was going to be done over the next 10 years, but will need to be done
over the next 3 years (GV 2024-2025, Crystal 2025-2026) instead.
Other Business
Next meeting scheduled for February 1, 2023.
The water contract with the City of Minneapolis will be ending at the end of this year.
