January 12-February 22, 2021 Operations Report

/

Kevin Southworth, Operations Manager

During this period:

  • Completed Water Facilities Inventory (WFI) and analysis.

  • One of the turbidimeters failed and a new turbidimeter is on order.

  • Raw turbidity has decreased allowing the treatment plant to filter at a faster rate with less

    coagulants. No turbidity violation is expected in February.

  • Wilson Engineering has initiated the System Capacity Analysis as part of the

    requirements for permitting a new water treatment plant. Staff is collecting a 5-year

    history of usage records for this analysis.

Coming up:

  • Isaac is scheduled to take the Cross Connection Connection Specialist exam on March

    15, 2021. Dave Olson will begin CCC consultation in March.
