THURSDAY, NOV. 17: Beef Bavarian Stew or Chicken & Penne Pasta During the course of a day, the Finance Department takes a number of service orders re- garding water and wastewater services. Service orders are processed for a variety of rea- sons, including re-reads of water meters when a leak is suspected, turning water service on for new customers and shutting off ser- vice when requested by our customers. In an effort to create effi ciencies in the processing of service orders, staff is now us- ing iPads in the fi eld.
