Addition of enzyme to the sewage lagoon to improve the biological activity, and hence treatment, in the lagoon. Repairing a service connection leak in the water distribution system – the leak was found the “old fashioned” way by following the stream of water of the leak from where it surfaced.
A hydrant test is organized for one of the community’s hydrant access vaults, incorporating a length of hose, a pressure gauge
and a flow diffuser.
