(KLZA)-- Auburn Board of Public Works General Manager Dave Hunter informed the Board this month that engineers are working with the community of Peru on a route for a new waterline.  The BPW will not have a lot of involvement until its is time to work on connecting the line to the Auburn BPW water system. 

The temporary water treatment facility was out of service for nine days for maintenance and the BPW hauled 679-thousand gallons of water to Peru during that time.

A two-inch line burst during the scheduled maintenance which required extra downtime for the temporary water treatment facility. 

The temporary facility is now up and running again.
