WATER – A total of 44,959,636 gallons of water were delivered, 19,788,000 gallons at Alder Creek treatment plant, 10,356,000 at Brownell Springs and 14,815,636 purchased from City of Portland. 0.83 inches of rainfall were recorded at the treatment plant site during the month. The PWB Intertie Project was wrapped up in August. With the exception of some landscaping issues at the booster pump station and the reservoir site the punchlist is complete. The landscape items will be taken care of in the Fall when plant survival rates are better.

WASTEWATER – A total of 28,960,000 gallons of sewage were treated and re-used for irrigation purposes. Minimum flow was 0.86 MGD on the 20th. Maximum flow was 1.05 MGD on the 11th, (rainfall was 0.2 inches on the 10th and 0.6 inches on the 11th). A total of 0.95 inches of rainfall was recorded during the month.  BOD concentration was 11 mg/l; BOD loading was 84.6 lbs.; permit allows 10 mg/l and 125 lbs.; SS concentration was 5.8  mg/l; SS loading was 43.9 lbs.; permit allows 10 mg/l and 125 lbs. Effluent BOD and SS permit limits do not apply when the treated wastewater is used for land application – these figures are shown to demonstrate treatment efficiency.   No sludge was processed during the month. The pumps at Marcy St.; Northside, Southside, Southeast, Southwest and Meinig Ave. lift stations ran a total of 306 hours. A pump at the Northside pump station failed and will be replaced. 

STREETS – The street sweeping contractor spent 45 hours sweeping streets and collected more than 15 tons (23 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 129 lane miles. The Dubarko Drive rehabilitation Project was completed, final striping will be performed in September.

PARKS / OTHER –  The FTTH project continues to consume a lot of PW staff time. The volume of utility locate requests has required at least one and sometimes two PW staff members to keep up with the work.

PW staff began removing existing yellow paint from curbs in the new two hour parking zones.
