This letter is in response the letters we received November 18, 2019 notifying me that we are in
violation with the state regarding our wastewater system reports (NOV-2019-PC-0735; NOV-
2019-PC-0736; NOV-2019-PC-0737). First, I would like to apologize for these issues. These
issues have been addressed and corrected.
Vice President
I have had a long and intense discussion with our operator about his lack of responsible
Administration
Dr. Mark Sprague
management of our system reports. I understand that late report submission has become an
Vice President Program
increasing issue in the last year. This is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. The lack of
Norm Belmore
sending the monthly reports to your office on time will stop immediately. He has been placed on
Vice President
Properties
a strict schedule for monthly review and report submissions to me each month. Both he and I
Casey Barnes
added calendar and email reminders to ensure the reports are sent on time.

seriously, the severity of the situation.
