Update

August 8, 2025 - North Dakota Sewage, Pump and Lift (NDSPL) called today. Our long awaited above ground electrical control panel has arrived. NDSPL will contact the electrician and set up a date to finish the installation. We want to thank every person in Kramer that helped us manage all the lift station issues over the past few years and helped with new installation.  Foremost, I thank the City Auditor E Timbrook and councilwoman J Peters for pushing me to get it done, despite the risks, and made the money work to do it. 

Lastly and also put short and simple. The lagoons dikes were repaired in 2013 due to their age and deterioration. That was more than a decade ago. Pond #2 is failing. Pond #1 is not as bad but with the rains and weather, it won't be long for it falls into the same category. We were told not to put any heavy equipment for cutting the grass.  We have been on the dikes cutting with a push behind brush whacker.  We almost have pond 1 done and we have been putting out poison every few days.  Requests for bids have been sent and two have been received and from $20.000.00 to $200,000.00 to do the work.  Still waiting on the third, but it may not come. Time will tell.  We also graded out the road to the landfill and out to the lagoons.  We also got gaming funds from Towner Community Club to repair the fences at both sites.
