Sewer Treatment Plant Report
By Brian Schan
Sewer Plant System
The
treatment plant is running well. We worked with Wilmot Excavating and replaced
the upper section of a manhole at the
the
Main Clubhouse sewer pump station has not been reducing the odor and some
complaints have been reported. Different types of solutions are being looked
into to help correct this problem.
Water System
The
water system flows have been average. Over both the Memorial Day and 4th of
July holiday weekends a large amount of water was used. We were able to take
some meter readings and found some property owners with high flows ranging
between 2200 and 5400 gallons in 24 hours. After contacting them, they were
able to fix the large water loss by fixing toilets and leaking garden hoses.
The average daily water usage on the water system is approximately 170,000 GPD.
On the 4th of July it was 360,000 GPD. Please help us save water - monitor your
faucets, toilets and outside hose bibs when leaking they are where the larger
water losses accrue. There were 9 new water main valves installed recently and
plans to install another 12 are in place throughout the summer. A lawn watering
tip: watering your lawn in the evening or early morning are the best times.
Watering your lawn in the middle of the day wastes water because the sun
evaporates up to 60 % before it can soak into the ground.
If
you receive an orange notice from the Water and Sewer Department, please
contact us as soon as possible so we can address the problem mentioned on the
card.
Reminder to remember to renew
your water line insurance in October and those who do not have it may sign up
at that time. It is well worth the $36.
As
always the Water and Sewer Department is always available to help and answer
any questions. Please feel free to contact us at the treatment plant.
