WATER<\/strong>\u00a0– A total of 17,717,992 gallons of water were\u00a0produced, 8,301,000 at Alder Creek Treatment Plant and 9,416,992 at Brownell Springs. Peak day water production was 0.862 MG on the 3rd. A total of 8.01\u00a0inches of rainfall were recorded at the treatment plant site during April. Work on the chlorine conversion project at Brownell Springs and Alder Creek WTP was wrapped up\u00a0and seems to be working well. Work on the Intertie project continued. Startup and performance testing at the Hudson Rd. pump station and the Revenue Ave transfer pump station began on April 7th. Most of the performance testing was completed that week. The operational testing – which requires seven consecutive days of operation with no faults or alarms was more problematic. \u00a0By the end of the month we were operating the\u00a0PWB connection on a daily basis at a rate of 500,000 gallons \/ day and it seemed to be functioning well.<\/p>\n

SEWER<\/strong>\u00a0– A total of 45,340,000 gallons of wastewater were treated and discharged to Tickle Creek.\u00a0Minimum flow was 0.96\u00a0MGD on the 15th. Maximum day flow was 2.49 MGD on the 24th. Rainfall was .55″ on April 23rd\u00a0and .70″ on the 24th. \u00a06.03 inches of rainfall were recorded at the treatment plant site during April. \u00a0BOD concentration was 4.8 mg\/l; BOD loading was 54.2\u00a0lbs.; permit allows 10 mg\/l and 125 lbs.; SS concentration was 4.6\u00a0 mg\/l; SS loading was 55.8\u00a0lbs.; permit allows 10 mg\/l and 125 lbs. We were in compliance with our discharge permit for the month of April. \u00a0 No sludge\u00a0was processed during the month. \u00a0The pumps at Marcy St.; Northside, Southside, Southeast, Southwest and Meinig Ave. lift stations ran a total of 365\u00a0hours with no significant problems.<\/p>\n

STREETS<\/strong>\u00a0–\u00a0The street sweeping contractor spent 47\u00a0hours sweeping streets and collected more than 15\u00a0tons (23 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 136\u00a0lane miles. City staff installed guardrails adjacent to the new sidewalks on Pleasant St. where the fill slope was steep enough to present a hazard to pedestrians.<\/p>\n

PARKS \/ OTHER –\u00a0<\/strong>Parks staff installed fencing between the rental home and the splashpad in Bornstedt Park. Mowing of turfgrass in City parks began in earnest in April. The additional acreage in Bornstedt Park means we will probably have to contract out for some of the park mowing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
