1.           SUMMARY  OF  MAINTENANCE  ACTIVITY:

 

The maintenance department painted the generator housing at pump station P-5 (Easement below Sunset Lane), rebuilt a pump at P-8 (Inn at Spanish Bay), performed semiannual maintenance of valves on the recycled water pipelines, removed vegetative growth at Indian Village, received an 8-hour training course from ACWA/JPIA (Association of California Water Agencies – Joint Powers Insurance Authority) on traffic control and trenching safety, arranged for installation of a pressure reducing water valve for the fire department quarters, skylight replacement in the office of the engineering and maintenance assistant and semiannual maintenance of utility truck PB-1 and dump truck PB-6. 

 

2.         WASTEWATER  FLOW  MEASUREMENTS:

 

An average daily wastewater flow of 584,000 gallons per day (gpd) was measured at the PBCSD Carmel gate flow metering station in July, which represents 33 % of the total flow of 1,793,000 gpd measured at the CAWD treatment plant.  The PBCSD flow is 3 % above the five-year average of 565,000 gpd for July and the CAWD total flow is 2 % below the five-year average of 1,836,000 gpd for July.  A chart showing the quantity of PBCSD wastewater flow recorded during the month of July 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 2004-05 water year (October 1 to September 30) to date is 699 acre-feet including 523 acre-feet or 75 % of recycled water.  Total demand for the water year is 11 % below the 10-year average usage of 788 acre-feet for this point in the water year.  The August flushing cycle used 15 acre-feet of potable water.  Approximately 90 acre-feet of potable water have been used in flushing cycles during the current water year, which accounts for 51 % of the total potable water use of 176 acre-feet. 

 

Two attached charts show the total water and potable water usage recorded on a daily basis for July and August to date.  Two additional charts and a graph summarize total, recycled and potable water usage on a monthly basis for the 2004-05 water year to date and for the previous ten water years.
