K.B.S.D. July 2026
In attendance: Gil Tumey, Dave Conboy, Doni Guyer, Larry Uptain directors; Stacy Wilhelm, secretary; Anthony Hall, Plant Operator; Dan Larson, Engineer.
No conflicts or corrections.
A motion to approve the minutes from the June 6, 2026, meeting was made by Conboy and seconded by Uptain. Motion passed.
A motion to accept the Treasurer’s report and bills paid through June 30, 2026, was made by Guyer and seconded by Conboy. Motion passed.
OPERATIONS REPORT:
Hall reported he is getting a quote from KG & T to install a valve for Kalispell Cove so he can better isolate those houses due to their proximity to the lake if there are any issues. Hall also had air conditioning installed in the shed to maintain temperature 60 degrees or below.
Hall with the help of Dan Larson created an SOP for Chlorine values and suggested Chlorine shipments under 10% be rejected. A motion to adopt rejecting Chlorine that test under 10% was made by Conboy and seconded by Guyer. Motion passed.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
Wilhelm reported that she has one tax lien to file for 2026.
OLD/NEW BUSINESS:
Larson reported that the as soon as he has the Facility Plan completed, he will apply for the reuse permit renewal because they go hand in hand.
Larson gave an update on the planning grant which included determining that district should continue with the 1-HP pumps for all new installations and updating the pumps in Lift Stations 1 and 2 to better handle the pressure of the flow from all the 1-HP pumps. Conboy suggested updating voltage as well when those new pumps are installed. It is the least expensive solution. Other recommendations include replacing force mains with pressure monitors to help find leaks and valves to isolate. Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) is almost completed and will get it submitted and approved.
Larson reported that the number of bedrooms will determine tank sizes so they meet requirements. A lagoon upgrade will also be very important to allow for longer settling to bring down the nitrogen levels.
Motion to adjourn was made by Uptain seconded by Guyer. Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Stacy Wilhelm
Secretary/Treasurer
K.B.S.D June 2026 Newsletter
The annual board meeting at the Kalispell Bay Sewer District office is Saturday, June 6th at 7:30am. As with any of our board meetings, everyone is welcome.
We want to remind everyone, that only toilet paper should be flushed down the toilet. There are many products available that say they are “flushable” but our system is not setup to handle them and will cause pumps to fail and back up your septic system. There are signs you can purchase from Amazon that you can put in your bathrooms to help let your guest know as well.
As always, if you experience any problems with your septic system, please call the office and leave a message, and then call Anthony’s cell at 208-946-3842. Sometimes, the cell service is not the best and messages and texts can get delayed.
Sincerely,
Kalispell Bay Sewer Board
