The chlorine feed and well startup portion of the project will be the final package to be advertised for
bid. This bid will include the New Hope well improvements. Once this phase of the work is completed, all
four wells will be operational.
Mitch Hoeft talked to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) last week for an update on
the completion of the easement agreement process so that work on the Golden Valley well can begin.
The MPRB is working with its legal department on finalizing the easement agreement.
Update on County Road 9 Proiect
The temporary bypass for the Crystal reservoir is fully operational. There may be a possibility that the
contractor will extend the work up to France Avenue. If that happens, the bypass is in place to avoid any
interruption of service. The contractor would have the portion of the work affecting the Crystal water
distribution system completed by August or September 2014.
Update on Crystal Pump Station Generator Proiect
The generator has been loaded tested. Crystal is waiting on Xcel's schedule to shut down power to the
site so that the generator can be connected to the building. That work is tentatively scheduled for the
week of July 7.
Other Business
