spoken to Newman Construction regarding timing to install the lines which would
take approximately 1 week.

LEAK- Mr.
Carpenter and Mr. Brindle found a water leak inside of the pump station. The leak was on the steel line coming from
the Peruvian reservoir, which is relied upon heavily this time of year. Mr.

will look at the costs of replacement for spring/summer 2023.
