Wendy Ensley, Executive Secretary for the Glenwood Municipal Utilities (GMU) reports this (Wednesday) morning, that GMU staff along with the help of Ben Lundstrom, Andy Young and Jensen Well were able to get Well #3 and the Water Treatment Plant running last night. Ensley says “We have been pumping water all night to fill the towers. We are still required to boil water and need everyone to continue to conserve water by reducing use. The DNR is on site today to do testing and monitor the steps we are required to follow to turn over/flush the system. This will require us to drain the water from the towers. The DNR is putting together a press release for us explaining everything and we should have that later today.”

“The hope” she says, “is that we will be running normally and be able to release the boil water and conserve water within the next week. Trucking is continuing today and then we will be stopping that operation.”
