reminded Committee members of the need and importance of the recent Water System
Plan Update contract with BHC, being the addition of Well(s) #12 and #13, along with

Well No. 8 - Update: PWD Dorsey and WSUM Hunter provided Committee members
with a brief update on the Well #8 pump replacement project which was awarded to
Holt Services on May 23, 2017. It was previously reported that a drop of approximately
70 GPM in source production was encountered. It has now become apparent that the
drop in source was only temporary, due to stiffness of the new check valve. Full
production has been resumed. No further action required.
Well No. 13 - Update: Mayor Putaansuu, PWD Dorsey and WSUM Hunter provided
Committee members with an update to the Well #13 DWSRF-funded project, being that
a clearing/grading and drilling schedule had been developed, and that a RFP was ready
to be issued when the State Legislature’s non-action on the Capital Budget has lead to a
suspension of the Project. The City has suspended all activity. To be continued.
