100-Year Legacy Trail-. No change.
The Backup Wells: We are waiting on the purchase of the SPU property to become finalized. There may be a need to breakdown some of the construction items to allow offsite work. This will help ensure that the District meets certain timeline requirements. He is working on construction plans and permit applications for road widening and water main installation.
