Maintenance on Lake Pumps / Aeration

The pumps are good for about 8,000 hours between rebuilds which is a year of continuous operation. That’s two summers for us.
We are up for a rebuild this year. I have submitted for a rebuild kit quotation. It should be around $150 per pump. 6 pumps = $900.
Look to bring back team that installed the pumps and if we have the right pumps
Motion made and seconded to keep pumps going this year and approve funding to rebuild pumps. Motion passed unanimously.
