Wastewater

? ROW crew mowed around manholes along Belton Hwy and marked them with t-posts to prevent damage by mowing crews. We also repaired a manhole on the sewer line off Old Dobbins Bridge Road and Wigfall Road that was hit by a tractor.

? Performed 3 residential sewer tap inspections this week: 2 in the Three Bridges subdivision and 1 at 105 Oak Island in Cobbs Glenn.

? Met with contractors at Pendleton High School pump station to discuss water drainage problems around the new pump station.  All punch list items will be addressed by the contractor prior to their last payment for the Pendleton High School pump station job.

Animal Shelter

? Animal shelter had a great week.

? We got to practice our fire drill procedure when an alarm was set off due to an HVAC issue. 

? Took in 105 animals.  16 were owner turn in, 79 seized by animal control and 10 strays.

? Adopted out 43 animals, 4 died, 2 were euthanized (one due to illness, one was an owner request due to old age), 13 animals were returned to their owner and 46 animals were transferred to rescues!

? Clinic did 68 surgeries in 2 days.

? Donated fence panels from the old facility to Freedom Fences.  This will allow chained dogs the opportunity for better housing.

? Held a meeting with Animal Control Officers and Lieutenant Baker from the Sherriff’s Office to hand out microchip scanners and implement officers using them in the field to reunite pets with owners.  This will hopefully help keep animals out of the shelter.  We also discussed the new animal control ordinances and our plans to implement the Community Cat Diversion Program.
