Re: Pump Out Sewage Meter Has Been Disconnected, Backflow Preventor Not
Installed and the Old Bathhouse Meter Still Needs Returned to the City
During our morning rounds I was showing our new employee the Pump Out meter and
noted that pumping operations have started without the meter reconnected to power.
Therefore, you will not pump out any further boats until the meter is reconnected. I am
instructing our Finance Department to charge you 20,000 gallons for pump out for use
through today. For any further days where you are observed having the system
operating without the meter functioning we shall charge you an additional 10,000
gallons per day.
Also we noted that the bathhouse water line is not protected by an RPZ valve. This line
must be protected by and RPZ. I will allow you one week to get the Bathhouse line
protected. If it is not protected by May 28, 2004 the water service to the Bathhouse will
be disconnected.
When we allowed you to make the changes to the water services one of the
requirements ( to reduce your cost) was that we would provide you a replacement water
meter for the bathhouse, the old meter would be returned to the City and we would re-
use the radio on the old meter on the new meter. The old meter and its radio have not
been removed from inside the bathhouse. Also by May 28th have the old meter removed
from the bathhouse and call myself or Jeff Kellogg at 651-439-4439 to pickup the meter
and re-install the radio on the new meters.
If you have any questions, I will be back in town on Tuesday May 25th
