ROW crew installed a gate on the 5-mile line near Loblolly Pines Subdivision. This gate should keep out trespassers.

Downloaded data from the flow monitors in Powdersville. Flow monitors will remain in place to determine if repairs made to collection system have reduced Inflow and Infiltration during rain events.
