DISCUSSION
Superintendent Report:
Zack informed the board that Daviess County PWSD#2 has several new Kamstrup meters that their district will not be using since it changed to a different radio read system. Because our inventory is getting low, Zack felt it would be wise to purchase the available meters which are compatible with our system, noting that the cost of $300/unit would result in a significant savings. A motion was made by Harlan Horst and seconded by Gary Buck to purchase 40 meters and antenna for $12,000. All members voted in favor; motion approved. Zack also brought to the board’s attention that the Xerox 6605 color copier purchased in 2015 needs repair which will cost around $700. A motion was made by Gary Buck and seconded by Mark Closterman to buy a new color copier from DocuOne at a cost of $1179.00. All members voted in favor; motion approved. Zack also reported that 26 locates, two leak repairs and two meter installs have been completed in the past month.
Kyle Parkhurst, President, announced the next meeting would be August 18, 2026, at the water plant. The meeting was adjourned at 5:45pm.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mark Closterman
