Water Report: The water loss for July was 25 percent. It was noted that Ed mowed around Pump house #1. Ed also has the cost for rehabing the exterior of the water tanks on Lark Ln. Unfortunately he forgot them on his desk. He will email the board members that information. The paint on the water tanks must be tested for lead and he indicated that the cost for this to be done will be around $50. The discussion on this has been tabled until the September meeting. There will be a meeting with MainLine and AE2S on Friday, August 15 discussing where staging of equipment will take place for the water project.

Ed noted that the Main well pump is losing about 1 gallon per minute per year. The pump was replaced in September 2008. In 2009 the well was pumping 85 gallons per minute, 2011--84, 2012--82, 2013--80 and 2014--76.
