Councilmember Stille asked about the water main break graph and noted this graph tells why the improvement projects are needed. He thanked the residents for being so receptive of these projects, noting the Public Works Department touches so many parts of the City. Mayor Faust noted cities lose a lot of water with leaky water mains. This is down considerably now and the industry standard is 10% and when last reported St. Anthony was at 5 %. This is another reason the street projects are done. When changing the hours on the splash pads and saving millions ($7M) of gallons of water is good science -based work. He commended Mr. Hartman on the great job the staff does on plowing. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS.
