PUBLIC WORKS * Mark and an operator from MnDot have been cleaning the Pinewood Storm sewer pond. Hopefully this will eliminate the backup of water into the street on Pinewood and area residential properties. • Zack Walder, a student at St. Cloud Technical College is working with the Water Division this week. He is pursuing a career in the Water/Wastewater industry, and is completing part of his internship with us. This is the second student that has requested to come to Mounds View. We are happy to provide him with the opportunity to receive hands on experience with in our system. * Water main flushing will begin on Sunday with the closure of valves throughout the system. Although no mains will be flushed until Monday morning, some disturbance of the system might occur, due to the change in direction of flow. Mains will be flushed Monday am. throughout the entire City, beginning with the large mains. Smaller mains will be flushed the remainder of the week, hopefully completing the flushing Thursday. Flushing may continue past normal working hours to complete an area of town. • Staff has been sweeping streets and continuing to rate roads. Sweeping will be completed prior to the water main flushing. Road ratings are anticipated to be completed within the next 10 days. • Staff has been notified by MnDot that road restrictions are anticipated to be in affect until May 15, 1995. All participants in the permitting program have cooperated accordingly this year. * Last week was Minnesota Clean Fuels week. Suburban Propane, the vendor which supply's us with propane, and conversion kits, requested that we display one of the City's squad cars for an exhibit. The display was held on the Capital grounds. The national energy secretary was in the Twin Cities for the event, and local media was also invited. As of this writing we have not received any printed materials of the event. Mike
