Water tower bolt replacement

The commissioners agreed to move forward with the bolt replacement. No formal vote count was recorded.

At the April 6, 2026 meeting, the water systems operator said Sherburne Consolidated will replace rusted bolts for about $2,000. The operator also said a worker climbed the tower and repaired the transducers (sensors), and water levels are rebounding with all wells back on. The commissioners agreed to move forward with the bolt replacement.

New metal detector purchase

The commissioners agreed to allow the purchase of a new metal detector. No formal vote count was recorded.

The commissioners agreed to let the district buy a new metal detector because the current one does not work. No price was given. The systems operator said grants may exist for this kind of equipment. A commissioner said the paperwork for small grants can take more effort than the money is worth.

Main Street water shut-off valve location

The minutes say the water shut-off valve at the street on part of Main Street needs to be found and made reachable so water can be shut off. The systems operator and the water operator said the metal detector the district owns does not work, so the valve cannot be found that way right now.
