The December meeting of the JFD #1 (aka, the Foothills water board) was held Tuesday, December 14 2021, via Zoom.
 
Attendees: Brian Stevens, Fred Lavenberg, Chris Laskowski, Chris Lavorgna, Ann Lerner Kroll and Charlie Windisch.
 
Minutes:
 
  1. 4th quarter billing status: Two households have not paid up as of the meeting time. Service shut-off notices have been sent out (will take effect early Jan ’22). Two households paid the old quarterly amount ($230 vs $235). The difference will be added to their 1st quarter 2022 bills. 1st quarter 2022 bills have been sent out. Please contact me if you did not receive your bill.
  2. Greensand filter replacement – We await final approval from the state (it is in the queue).
  3. Greensand filter financing – Application was made for a low interest loan from the state drinking water fund. Currently, we are above the cut line in terms of obtaining dollars, but more money may be coming from the Federal government in early January ’22. This may improve our chances. Fall back position is a loan from Community Bank NA.
  4.  Curb stop/blow off valve replacement – a handful of valves need to be replaced. This work will be scheduled for the Spring of 2022.
  5. Pump house is in need of some upgrades. More discussion to take place at future meetings.
Meeting adjourned at 7:40pm.
