WATER
Steve Woerner reported that both meters are installed and should be in operation in a few weeks.
Steve reported that with our 40 year plan, we have about 60 water taps available for build out.
SEWER
Steve Woerner reported that about 2 weeks ago the pump went out at the lift station. We had Mountain Valley come out and they went down and put the pump back together, but we should probably budget to replace the pumps at the lift stations. We will get this one rebuild and have a spare pump.
Councilmember Hardy reported that we need to get a capital facilities plan done but he thinks the impact fee study will cover it. The Department of Water Quality wants us to present it in December. We could get a grant for a hardship, the freeway runs right through Elwood and that is considered a hardship. We need to apply for the first part; I will get with Shane and get that going. Mayor Nelson stated it's a great idea.
PARKS AND RECREATION
Nothing to report.
ROADS
Steve Woerner reported that he fixed a few pot holes and some shouldering work needs to be done.
Councilmember Goodliffe stated that the bridge on 8000 North is in and will be done in a few days.

The undersigned duly acting and appointed clerk for Elwood Town Corporation hereby certifies that the foregoing is a true and correct copy of the Town Council meeting minutes held on the 12th day of April 2022. Dated this the 10th day of May 2022.
