July 13-August 8, 2021 Operations Report
/Kevin Southworth, Operations Manager
During this period:
The major ongoing leak was located on Mt Vista Drive and was repaired on July 13. On July 20 we quickly identified another line break on Beach Ave and fixed that in the same day. Overnight usage minimum (an indicator of water loss/leaks in the water system) continues to be very low, usually 1 gallon per minute.
The treatment plant continues to produce excellent water with low turbidity levels.
Dept. of Ecology visited on July 22 for the 5-year inspection of the Dickenson Lake Dam and the Holiday Lake Dam.
Repaired hot water heater at Cabana.
Reservoir levels in Dickenson Lake continue to track to be at a height normally seen one month later (early-September level).
Coming up:
WWU students will begin helping with vertical profile samples in the reservoir beginning the week of August 16.
