Plant operator Donna Chabot asked members to include funds to replace the lawn mower and flow meter in the new budget. She said the lawn mower was definitely in its last season and the flow meter is giving problems.

The WSA is operating without a budget for the current year. Mr. Johnson told Ms. Chabot, “I don’t know where the budget stands. The chairman hasn’t been here for the last couple of meetings. He said he would work up a budget.”
