NO SPILL REPORT: The no spill report to the state has been made for the month of May.

LIFTS STATIONS AND PONDS: The lift stations and ponds have been working well with an average flow for the past six days of just 5,288 gallons per day. A year ago for the same time period the flow averaged about 13,345 gallons per day, because of a problem at the RV park. However, over the years from '05 to the present, flows have dropped from about 15,000 gallons per day to about 6,000 gallons per day.

With low flows and high evaporation pond three has been dry since April and will probably not have water in it until we have fall rains. The RV Park has been shutdown resulting in lower flows than normal.

PRECIPITATION: Rain and snow have given us about 10.5 inches of precipitation since last July with three recent thunder showers included.

HOMEOWNER SYSTEMS: There haven't been any recent calls which is good news, but that will change!

LATE PAYMENT COLLECTIONS: Sandy has been following up on accounts due with excellent results.

MARINER'S RV PARK: TBA...........The tax sale for the Restaurant parcel will be tomorrow, Tuesday, 6/18/13 and as of today there have not been any bids.

STOCK WATER: The stock water pump is in place and has been used for a few days for testing. It will be used when cattle are put on McClelland's land. The stock water pond has been holding water very well.

LAKE EVEL: 5,095.1' Last year at this time the level was 5,095.8' The drop in lake level has slowed somewhat in the past few weeks.

WEED WORK: The area around the lift station and the fire station received some weed clearing. More will be done as needed.
