WATER<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A total of 30,924,040 gallons of water were treated and delivered during the month. 12,141,000 gallons from\u00a0Alder Creek treatment plant, 11,963,520 gallons from\u00a0Brownell Springs and 6,819,520 gallons purchased from City of Portland. The Portland\u00a0Water Bureau resumed delivery from the\u00a0Bull Run system\u00a0on March 15th after several consecutive non-detects for Cryptosporidium<\/em> from this source. It took us a few days to get the transmission main and reservoir\u00a0flushed out and back in service. Maximum day\u00a0production\u00a0was 1.07 MG on\u00a0March 1st. 14.88 inches of rainfall were recorded at the water treatment plant site during the month. CH2M replaced some of the filter media in the large treatment unit at the water plant and repaired several valves and flow sensors to allow automatic operation of the large treatment unit during March. CH2M’s lab in Corvallis performed what we hope is the last round of testing on ascorbic acid to reduce chlorine residuals (and ultimately Disinfection Byproducts) in March. We expect the results back in early April. PW staff relocated some piping at Sandercock reservoir to bypass a leaking section of pipe underneath the reservoir. The old line was filled with concrete and the new connections should be completed in early April.<\/p>\n

WASTEWATER<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>A total of 93,320,000 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 1.93 MGD on the 3rd. Maximum flow was 5.13\u00a0MGD on the 9th. Rainfall was 0.90\u00a0inches on the 8th and 0.75\u00a0inches\u00a0on the 9th. A total of 12.10 inches\u00a0of rainfall were\u00a0recorded at the treatment plant site during March. BOD concentration was 7.0 mg\/l; BOD loading was 152\u00a0lbs; permit allows 10\u00a0mg\/l and 125\u00a0lbs.; SS concentration was 7.0\u00a0mg\/l; SS loading was 209 lbs.; permit allows 10 mg\/l and 125 lbs. \u00a0We exceeded the daily maximum and weekly average\u00a0for lbs of suspended solids during the week of the 20th. 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 1036\u00a0hours with no significant problems.<\/p>\n

STREETS<\/strong>\u00a0&\u00a0STORM<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0The street sweeping contractor spent 58 hours sweeping streets and collected more than 26\u00a0tons (20 cu. yds.) of debris, covering 185\u00a0lane miles. We were able to make some small progress on patching potholes during the couple of days of dry weather we had in March.<\/p>\n

PARKS, BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS \u2013 <\/strong>\u00a0PB&G staff tried to\u00a0keep up with\u00a0spring mowing when the weather cooperated. The restrooms in Meinig Park were opened on good weather days during Spring Break. We advertised for the Seasonal Worker position and hope to have someone on board in April.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
