General

·         The TAC report for the summer trip is due Wednesday.  We just need to work on refining our powerpoint for this.

·         We will not partner with FONAES for this trip, but maybe at some point in the future. 

Design:

·         The design is almost finalized with just a few small issues remaining. 

·         We also got verbal permission this week to use the second spring we were considering, and this land owner also has another spring on his property that we haven’t considered yet. 

·         Hydralic design finalized and checked off. 

·         Rebar and concrete mix designs to be approved this week.

·         We still need to figure out:

o   How to flush lines.

o   How to deal with overflow incase float valves in tanks break.

o   Outlet design for landowner’s shower.

o   A finalized materials list (based on unit lengths).

Education

·         Continuing work on powerpoint presentation.

ACJF grant application is also in progress.
