shown on the attached page. Estimated revenue from this portion of the
sale is $2,705.

The Water/Wastewater Department recently removed from Well #17 a
submersible pump for which the motor had failed. Repair estimates for
the motor have ranged as high as $7,000, and the pump is not usable for
spare parts. Revenue from the sale of the pump and failed motor is
estimated to be about $2,800.
