WATER – A total of 35,890,000 gallons of water were treated and delivered during the September. 17,414,000 gallons from Alder Creek treatment plant, 3,500,000 gallons from Brownell Springs and 14,975,000 gallons purchased from City of Portland. Peak day production was 2.02 MGD on the 3rd. Production at Brownell Springs was still limited to 90 gpm in September and will likely remain at that level until significant rainfall increases streamflow in Cedar Creek. 5.6 inches of rainfall were recorded at the water treatment plant site during the month. A leaking gasket on booster pump No. 1 was repaired.

WASTEWATER – A total of 32,740,000 gallons of sewage were treated and used for irrigation. Maximum flow was 1.50 MGD on the 18th (0.09 inches of rain on 9/17 and 0.02 inches on 9/18). Monthly rainfall recorded at the plant was 4.84 inches. 235,370 gallons of sludge were dewatered and landfilled. Two air supply valves were replaced. Two reclaimed water pumps were rebuilt. The scum sweep arm in clarifier No. 2 was repaired and a reclaimed water pump was rebuilt. There were six positive total coliform exceedences (none contained e. coli) during the month.

STREETS – The slurry sealing project started and finished in September. The contract originally called for all work to be completed prior to the start of school but the contractor experienced weather delays on other projects and wasn’t able to start in Sandy until after September 3rd. 855,200 sq. ft. (about 19.6 acres) of street surface were treated on this project.
