Chief Water Operator’s Report:
Mark Dennison reported the UV problem was looked at by a Tech today. He is waiting for a report for problems and recommendations. He stated that there is a lot of iron and manganese coming from the wells, which is creating problems with the UV. He stated that the UV will need to be disassembled yearly for cleaning. Commissioner Kahnle asked if the water department had a maintenance schedule for all steps at the plant. Mr. Dennison stated that he has come up with one on his own and he has them posted throughout the plant. Mr. Dennison stated that the UV light is designed to run consistently, and with the RO system we have it starts and stops due to cycles that the system goes through, so that can create wear on the bulb. He is waiting for the official report to determine what will be done in the future.
