Marine Lake has been issued. 2 monitoring wells are no longer required so

0 2 alarms went off for the Uptown Sewer system. Right after the ice rink
melted the alarm at the Community Center went of£ It was discovered that a
urinal was running in the warming house and may have been the cause of the
alarm but it could also be the tremendous amount of water from the ice rink.
A second alarm sounded at Elim Church about a week later. There was no
apparent reason for the alarm which went off on a Sunday. There have been
no instances since those alarms went off.

• Building inspections;
