DIRECTOR’S REPORT
Director Jasinski presented the following reports/considerations:
• Water main breaks: There have been ten water main breaks year to date. There has been one break since the last meeting. The leak was in Palos Gardens and was small.
• Menominee Lift Station Update: This project is very close to completion. There are a few tasks left to be completed. During the process, part of a resident’s driveway was damaged during construction. The contractor estimated the damage to restore the driveway. The estimate was $1,500.00. The Committee agreed to reimburse the resident for the damages to the driveway.

• 2022 Sewer Rehabilitation Program: This project is completed. The City is holding a 5% retainer until April of 2024. When the liner was installed, it was wrinkled due to debris. The company offered to reline it but that reduces the capacity of the sewer.
