Details:	SUMMARY: Distribution Pressure Problems DETAILS: The City owns and operates a surface water system, which supplies approximately 4,610 people through 1,580 connections. Surface water from multiple sources is treated with rapid sand filters with coagulation and flocculation and is chlorinated before being pumped to the reservoir. Currently City has approximately 60 homes with a subdivision that can have a static water line pressure below 20 psi. With the subdivision built at nearly the same elevation as the reservoir that feeds the homes, the static pressure is very low when the booster pump station is off line. The booster pump station does not have emergency power to maintain system. HBH was contacted by DWP to provide assistance with an investigation of the pressure problems in said subdivision. I provided additional recommendations regarding pressure wave that the City is having in the Starlight Village Subdivision. I coordinated with DWP and City staff. I modified recommendations report and assisted City Staff with responses to customer complaints regarding both pressure wave power outage and “blue water” complaints. ACTION NEEDED: Continue to coordinate up with Public Works Staff regarding other on-going issues with pump station.
