WATER<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A total of 26,706,570 gallons of water were treated and delivered during the month. 11,500,000 gallons from\u00a0Alder Creek treatment plant, 9,435,000\u00a0gallons from\u00a0Brownell Springs and 5,771,570 gallons purchased from City of Portland. The Portland\u00a0Water Bureau shut off the\u00a0Bull Run supply on February 13th due to the presence of Cryptosporidium<\/em> oocysts in several samples from Bull Run. We were able to keep up with demand\u00a0using our Alder Creek and Brownell Springs sources. Maximum day\u00a0production\u00a0was 1.12\u00a0MG on February\u00a015th. 12.87\u00a0inches of rainfall were recorded at the treatment plant site during the month. CH2M inspected\u00a0the filter media in\u00a0the large filter unit at the treatment plant and removed some clogged media from\u00a0the unit. Replacement media will be placed in March.<\/p>\n

WASTEWATER<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>A total of 85,270,000 gallons of sewage were treated and discharged to Tickle Creek. This is the highest monthly flow total recorded at the plant, an average of over 3,000,000 gallons per day. \u00a0Minimum flow was 1.23 MGD on the 2nd. Maximum flow was 6.85\u00a0MGD on the 5th. Rainfall was 1.85 inches on the 4th and 1.90\u00a0inches\u00a0on the 5th. A total of 13.62\u00a0inches\u00a0of rainfall were\u00a0recorded at the treatment plant site during February. This month was\u00a0unusual in that rainfall totals at the water treatment plant have always been higher than at the wastewater plant. BOD concentration was 7\u00a0mg\/l; BOD loading was 186\u00a0lbs; permit allows 10\u00a0mg\/l and 125\u00a0lbs.; SS concentration was 10\u00a0mg\/l; SS loading was 246\u00a0lbs.; permit allows 10 mg\/l and 125 lbs. \u00a0We exceeded the monthly average for lbs of BOD and suspended solids but the mas load limits are suspended when the daily flow exceeds 2.5 MGD. All samples were taken on days when flow exceeded 2.5 MGD so we do not believe violations will result from these exceedences. No\u00a0sludge was processed, hauled or\u00a0spread during the month.\u00a0<\/em>The pumps at Marcy St.; Northside, Southside, Southeast, Southwest and Meinig Ave. lift stations ran a total of 915\u00a0hours with no significant problems.<\/p>\n

STREETS<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0STORM<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The street sweeping contractor spent 74\u00a0hours sweeping streets and collected more than 34\u00a0tons (41 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 239\u00a0lane miles. During the few dry days we had in February we were able to get out and perform temporary repairs on several potholes. There are some areas that will require complete excavation and replacement that will have to wait for dry weather. Fortunately most of our streets held up very well (compared to nearby County roads and ODOT highways) after the freezing and unusually wet weather.<\/p>\n

PARKS, BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0PB&G staff repainted the lunch\/break room in City Hall to make it match the rest of the building and started to prep for spring mowing. New engineered wood fiber was placed in the playgrounds at Meinig Park and Tupper Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
