Tap Maint., Wolf Creek Park LLC- Ms. Darrow requested to turn the 10 taps into tap maintenance fees beginning the first of the year 2024. Motion made to approve provided we get proof the park is vacated and gated off. Motion made by Fluck, 2^nd by Gillespie. Motion carried.

Beaver Mountain Estates- There is a potential customer up there that is land locked. This person spoke to Mr. Weaver and an Engineer. Mr. Weaver spoke to Ron about tapping into our system. It would have to be a two-compartment tank like a septic. Our system would be like a leech field for them. They would pay a tap fee. A 4-inch line would be put in with clean outs. When it hits our line then we are responsible. The engineer needs to get with an attorney and write a written agreement and have it recorded with the County Clerk and Recorder.
