8/2:1/84 Page -7- <br />Councilman Cussen Commented he felt that with the rain and <br /> cooler weather, now is an opportune time <br /> to ease out of the restrictions; whereas <br /> if we go through the cycle we could end <br /> up with another dry spell in autumn/summer <br /> and be hit with that big demand of the catch <br /> up and would create a pressure problem for us. <br /> He wondered of the wisdom of waiting another <br /> nine days versus dealing with it now? <br /> Mr. Schuler agreed that the timing would be <br /> great after the rain we have had to lift <br /> the restrictions totally and had they been <br /> able to test the plant at the 6MGD they <br /> would be recommending that very thing. <br /> He reitereted that they felt it was very <br /> important to get the operators well trained <br /> and run the plant for a period of time at <br /> a 6 MGD rate to be absolutely certain of <br /> the chemical dosage and a high quality water <br /> at a high flow. They should be able to do <br /> this tomorrow. <br />-'al Leiker, Supt. Water and Mr. Leiker stated that he didn't feel that <br />astewater Plants they were able to run the treatment plant <br /> long enough to verify testing. The quality <br /> of water from the sed basin was reduced in <br /> 2 hours due to the soda ash feeder Mr. <br /> Schuler spoke of and it would require back- <br /> washing more often. It was his feeling that <br /> after the automatic feeder is in place they <br /> will be better able to find out proper dosages <br /> of chemicals as required and get the plant <br /> stablized. Therefore, favored going with <br /> Mr. Schuler's recommendation. Another thing <br /> he wished to determine was where is the peak <br /> in the plant for its treated water capacity? <br />Councilman Cussen Had worked out different scenarios of going <br /> to the three day watering restriction cycle <br /> and distributed these to all councilmembers. <br />Notification of New Discussion was held among councilmembers of <br />Watering Restrictions the best and most cost effective method of <br /> sending out notifications of the new water- <br /> ing restrictions. Decision was by bulk-rate <br /> mailing assuring that everyone would receive <br /> the notice. The last delivery service had <br /> missed approximately one-third of the resi- <br /> dents as reported by Councilman Cussen. <br />
