Council members for the city of Blue Mound met on Monday, May 1, for their regular monthly meeting.

In other business, Krull informed the council he was waiting on Verizon to finish installing the dialer for the substation. He hopes to have it completed within the next week or two. Krull also stated that the water study is 75 percent done. The city will be reimbursed for the study, and will hopefully find grants once it is completed.
