                              Report for 3/23/06 to 4/19/06

 _________________________________________________________________________

 

1.       SUMMARY  OF  MAINTENANCE  ACTIVITY:

 

The maintenance department removed three trees from the Pelican easement near Mission Road, removed a tree from the access road to pump station P-5 (Easement below Sunset Lane), painted the interior of pump station P-3 (Spyglass Hill Road and 17-Mile Drive), repaired a 150 horsepower pump at P-3, coordinated the repair of automatic garage doors serving the fire department, coordinated the repair of the fueling station and continued monitoring water levels in the Forest Lake piezometers and monitoring manholes.  Training was provided for a number of new systems at the Forest Lake Reservoir project including plant feed pumps, strainers, chemical feed system, chlorine injection system, backwash pumps, outlet structure sluice gates and reservoir mixers.

 

2.    WASTEWATER  FLOW  MEASUREMENTS:

 

An average daily wastewater flow of 1,054,000 gallons per day (gpd) was measured at the PBCSD Carmel gate flow metering station in March, which represents 39% of the total flow of 2,697,000 gpd measured at the CAWD treatment plant.  The measured PBCSD flow is 33 % above the five-year average of 790,000 gpd for March and the CAWD total flow is 24 % above the five-year average of 2,181,000 gpd for March.  A chart showing the quantity of PBCSD wastewater flow recorded during the month of March and a graph showing average daily wastewater flows from PBCSD and the CAWD treatment plant for the past twelve months as well as the five-year average for each month is attached.

 

3.    RECYCLED  WATER  USE:

 

Total irrigation water demand for the 2005-06 water year (October 1 to September 30) to date is 147 acre-feet including 124 acre-feet or 84 % of recycled water.  Total demand for the water year is 33 % below the 11-year average usage of 219 acre-feet for this point in the water year.  The April potable water flushing cycle was cancelled due to low demand.  The Reclamation Project Oversight Committee approved the potable water flushing cycle schedule for the 2006 irrigation season at the April 5th meeting. 

 

Two attached charts show the total water and potable water usage recorded on a daily basis for March and April to date.  Two additional charts and a graph summarize total, recycled and potable water usage on a monthly basis for the 2005-06 water year to date and for the previous eleven water years.

6.    UNDERGROUND  SERVICE  ALERT  CALLS:

 

During this period, the maintenance crew marked sewer or recycled water lines at the following locations in response to underground service alert (USA) calls.  Contractors or other utilities are required to contact the USA system prior to performing construction activities that involve trenching or other underground work.  The system is designed to provide underground utility locations to the contractor so that the construction work can be completed without damaging the existing utility lines.  The District identifies the location of wastewater lines with green paint and recycled water lines with purple paint.
