The monthly "No Spill" report for October has been made to the

gallons per day, about 1.5 million gallons a year, in the past 5 million
gallons. At present the pond level is
1.58' compared to 1.86' last year last year at this time. Heaters at the lift stations have been turned
on for the winter. Stock water is off and drained for the winter.
