Rice Lake Construction has submitted their final payment request for the Water Treatment project. The Plant if operating fine at this point with the only change needed at this point is to change the backwash cycle from a time based intervals to a per gallon interval. Mike backwashes every other day at this point, switching to a per gallon interval would cycle the backwash every 100,000 gallons which will help maintain consistent water quality and lower operating cost. Widseth, Smith and Nolting have recommended final payment of the project and stated the one year warranty period will begin at the acceptance of this pay request.
