Kamiah Fire and Rescue Monthly Report for April- Bill Arsenault: KFR had 72 calls in April, 53 were emergencies, 11 were fires, 5 were transfers, and 1 was other.  KFR was unable to assist in 5 transfers due to staffing issues.

 

Monthly Maintenance Report- Justin Lycan: We are starting to get run off conditions with the river. This makes filter run times shorter, but it makes longer days for the operator.  There were three water leaks on Peach Street which have been repaired.  The parks are being mowed every week since the grass has been rapidly growing.  We are going to wait and fertilize after the Youth Fest in June. The park restrooms are open for the season. The Wastewater Treatment Plant had a 6-inch blower line break and was repaired. There have been changes to our new discharge permit, this requires more sampling by the city. We are having to monitor the temperature of the river both upstream and downstream.  We are going to have to purchase equipment to be compliant with these reporting requirements.  We continue to fill potholes and have purchased a pallet of asphalt mix to stay on top of this.  The street sweeper brooms have been replaced and we will start sweeping the streets early Wednesday morning.
