Last night there was a water main break on 7th Avenue. The call came in around 8:30pm and, while we were all sleeping, PPU staff worked through the night to fix it l. They finished around 4:30am. Thank you water department! We are lucky to have such a great and dedicated crew.

Water Superintendent Scott Schmit was a guest speaker recently at the Princeton High School. Along with the Minnesota Rural Water Association, they showed that water and water treatment is interesting.
