Overnight Pipe Work Begins Downtown

The Devlin Water Authority will replace the aging --(131)-- under nine downtown streets over the next six weeks. Most pipes in the area were laid seventy years ago, and last year the authority recorded forty-one leaks and service complaints on the --(132)-- streets.

Crews will work from nine at night until five in the morning, one zone at a time, so no block loses service on more than three nights. --(133)-- delays on the busiest routes, the authority will keep one lane open. Residents should expect cloudy water when service returns and noise near the site. --(134)--.

Households should set aside drinking water before their scheduled night, and shops that open early should run their taps briefly. "The new pipes will end these repeated leaks," said operations director Angela Reyes. The nightly schedule appears online.

Dear Mr. Boyle,

Each spring Ashford Research Associates aims --(135)-- two hundred regional companies for its annual report on business conditions, and we hope Doverton Metals will take part this year. Your firm appears on a public register of employers with fifty or more staff. We have gathered replies --(136)-- a period of six weeks each spring since 2013.

The enclosed questionnaire has twenty questions and takes about fifteen minutes to complete. Replies are combined, and no company is named. --(137)--. That summary reaches them two weeks before the report goes on sale.

Please return the completed form in the prepaid envelope by March 14. Your answers will be treated in strict --(138)--. Thank you for considering this request.

Sincerely,
Colin Loomis
Survey Director

Subject: Staff suggestion program

Dear Ms. Arai,

The review committee has finished reading this year's entries to the staff suggestion program, and the change you recommended for the mailroom is one of three selected. The reviewers praised it for removing repeated steps --(139)-- noted that it can be tested without new equipment.

Starting July 1, the mailroom will record --(140)-- times for outgoing shipments daily, and the results will be compared with last year's figures before any permanent change is approved.

We hope you will act as the contact person for the trial while continuing your regular duties. --(141)--. Our office will prepare that report, and your supervisor will reduce your other duties by about two hours each week.

Selected contributors are recognized at the quarterly staff meeting. Please let me know by June 18 whether you accept, and thank you again for the --(142)-- you sent to the committee in March.

Sincerely,
Gloria Mattson
Operations Office

Complimentary Charging Compartments

Secure compartments for charging electronic devices are available free of charge at the west end of the main concourse. There are 24 compartments, and each person may use one for up to 90 minutes. Use depends on the type of pass held, as shown below. Media pass holders should see the separate notice in the press room.

Compartments are assigned in order of arrival and cannot be reserved. Staff do not monitor the contents, so cash and fragile items must not be left inside. Compartments are emptied at closing time each day, and contents not picked up are taken to the lost-and-found office on the lower level, where they may be claimed.

Derek Nowak (5:38 P.M.): Everything on today's list is finished except the shelf tags for price list 6B. The lower shelves still show the old prices.

Yvonne Prescott (5:41 P.M.): Do you want the rest done before closing? I could write the last few by hand.

Derek Nowak (5:44 P.M.): Please don't do that, since handwritten tags look untidy. Leave them for first thing tomorrow. I open at eight, so I'll finish them then. We're short-handed at the counter near closing anyway, and only twelve printed sheets are out here.

Yvonne Prescott (5:47 P.M.): That works. Hector is off tomorrow, so you're the right person for it. I'll log the damaged items tonight instead.

Derek Nowak (5:50 P.M.): Thanks. One thing before you finish tonight: please bring the remaining sheets down to the counter. They're kept in the upstairs stockroom, and only a keyholder can open that door. Ms. Landry has a key and comes through around seven fifteen.
