If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
This
World,
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
is
consists
of
about
250
employees.
We've
got
look
five
locations
throughout
the
city,
including
this
one.
Our
headquarters
is
in
1200
penn
right
by
the
bus
station,
and
we've
got
the
field
facility,
brilliant
yard,
right
across
the
river
and
down
downstream
about
two
or
three
hundred
yards,
just
a
side
of
having
part
branching
and
then
a
number
of
other
facilities,
some
some
satellite
fields,
facilities
throughout
the
city.
A
We
have
about
150
million
in
annual
revenue
that
comes
in
from
customers
from
you
for
me
from
everyone
who
works
for
the
city.
Let
me
let
me
provide
that
up
for
you
and
tell
you
how
that's
how
that's
spent
so
about
a
third
that
about
50
million
of
that
goes
right
down
when
you,
when
you
get
your
bill
at
home.
Not
only
does
it
have
the
line
items
for
the
water
system
and
the
sewer
system,
but
I'll
also
be
out
to
sea
and
rate
them
for
treating
sewage.
So
that's.
B
A
Third,
the
next
third
another
59,
goes
to
pay
for
the
debt
that
we've
incurred
over
the
last
40
years
or
so
to
upgrade
and
maintain
the
system
and
that
total
debt
and
I'll
get
back
to
this
in
a
second
equals
about
725
million
dollars
of
debt,
but
that
we
owe
both
to
private
bondholders
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania
through
a
program
that
they
have
and
then
the
other
third
is
everything
else.
So
all
of
our
operating
expenses,
the
pizza
you're
eating
tonight
the
salaries
that
we
pay.
A
These
folks
about
the
electricity,
the
chemicals
of
what
happened-
that's
about
50
million
dollars.
So
that's
how
chops
up-
and
we
we've
got
a
big
responsibility
here,
though,
besides
this
water
treatment
plant,
we
have
approximately
1,200
miles
of
sewer
lines
in
the
ground
that
we
maintain
and
a
thousand
miles
of
water
makes
most
utility
assets.
Most
water
utility
assets
are
expected
to
last
about.
A
It
depends
the
stuff,
that's
above
ground
that
has
more
exposure
to
the
elements.
I
won't
last
quite
as
long,
but
it's
a
rule
of
thumb.
We
say
it's
about
a
hundred
years.
We've
got
some
lines
in
the
system:
the
downtown
parts
of
the
system,
some
sewer
lines
that
are
150
years
old,
so
we're
behind
we're
behind
the
curve
in
upgrading
and
maintaining
the
system.
A
Just
to
give
you
some
perspective
about
how
much
this
is
all
going
to
come
to
maintain
that
system
we
have
last
year,
we
let
me
back
up
2013,
we
issued
some
more
some
debt,
so
we
can
continue
investing
in
the
system.
You'll
see
later
tonight,
a
big
project,
that's
going
on
here
to
upgrade
filter
plane,
that's
about
25
million
dollar
investment
number
one
investment
that
we
make
is
to
make
maintain
this
plan
so
that
you
customers
can
have
clean,
safe
flight
ring
keyboard,
but
last
year
we
spent
or
allocated
about
50
billion
dollars
in
capital.
A
A
A
A
Let's
go
and
then
the
water
can
come
out.
So
that's
when
a
lot
of
our
breaks
are
caused
and
occur
so
the
worst
time
of
the
year.
When
is
there
was
one
day
this
hearing
mayor
members
nine
below
zero.
Our
crews
are
out
there
morning
noon
night
on
the
weekends
fixing
water
lives
and
sewer
lines
to
look,
but
mostly
water
ones.
A
couple
of
other
things
I
wanted
to
touch
on.
One
is
can't
emphasize
enough.
A
A
150
years
ago,
people
in
cities
died
in
the
fall
and
spring
because
of
the
diseases
that
were
carried
in
the
water.
You
didn't
want
to
live
in
the
city
because
it
probably
meant
you
know
that
you
weren't
going
to
make
cholera,
dysentery,
all
sorts
of
nice
things
then
about
a
hundred
years
ago,
so
they
started
adding
chlorine
to
the
drinking
water
and
the
chlorine
of
controls,
all
those
things
it
makes
modern
life
possible.
A
It's
been
called
the
greatest
Public
Health
advancement
in
the
last
1,000
years,
a
simple
act
of
putting
some
bleach
in
your
water
and
there's
more
to
it
than
that.
Obviously,
but
that's
how
important
it
is.
It's
no
exaggeration
to
say
that
this
facility
here
is
what
makes
our
modern
life
possible.
It's
what
makes
civilization
possible
ones,
but
which
is
what
makes
living
this
city
possible.
A
So
we
have,
you
know
an
obligation
to
the
public,
our
customers,
to
make
sure
that
that
asset
is
kept
in
good
working
order,
as
we
can
some
other
things
that
we're
working
on.
You
may
have
heard
a
lot
about
green
infrastructure
and
the
alpha
cen
project,
where
they
have
to
spend
several
billion
with
Abby
to
control,
wet
weather
overflows
and
what
that
means
in
really
simple
terms
is
here.
Let
me
give
you
a
history
of
sewage
disposal
in
the
world.
It
used
to
be
you.
B
A
150
years
ago
they
started
putting
pipes
in
the
ground
to
take
it
and
just
dump
it
directly
into
the
river
least.
It
got
got
it
out
of
the
street.
Those
pipes
took
both
sanitary,
sewage
and
the
rainwater,
and
nowadays,
when
you
build
a
new
city,
I'm
from
California
everything's
new
out
there
we
have
to
so.
We
have
separate
systems,
we
have
a
sanitary
system
for
the
sewage
and
we
have
a
storm
system
for
the
rain
water.
A
Not
so
much
on
the
East
Coast
in
the
Midwest
here
are
three
quarters
of
our
system
is
that
of
the
old-timey
that
takes
both
sewage
and
rainwater.
It's
called
combined
system,
and
so
what
happens
is
when
it
rains
the
system
gets
overloaded,
so
the
water
has
to
go
somewhere.
It
can
either
go
into
your
street
in
your
in
your
basement,
which
is
not
what
we
want
it
to
go
or
it
can
go
into.
A
A
If
the
rain
water
doesn't
get
into
pipe,
then
there's
less
likely
to
be
an
overflow
and
a
way
to
do
that
is
the
abuse
of
so-called
green
infrastructure,
which
can
be
believe
it
or
not.
That
thing
right
there
is
a
driveway
is
in
a
few
more
weeks
going
to
be
a
beautiful
rain
garden
that
was
just
lon
and
we
planted
a
garden.
A
There
notice
it's
concave
and
during
our
typical
rainstorm
that
falls
in
Pittsburgh
all
the
water
that
runs
off
from
the
driveways
here
and
be
managed
by
that
by
that
little
rain
guard,
so
that
water
will
no
longer
go
into
the
combined
sewer
into
the
river.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
to
the
extent
possible,
do
those
things
throughout
the
city
rain,
gardens
sweat,
which
is
like
a
little
hill.
The
tree
boxes
that
you
see
put
put
a
big
reservoir
under
the
tree.
A
Let
that
hold
the
water
a
porous
paper
I
think
James
is
going
to
talk
later
a
little
bit
later
about
that
he's
got
a
sample
of
it,
but
instead
of
hard-packed
concrete
for
parking
lot
put
porous
pavement,
so
the
water
percolate
into
the
groundwater.
Guess
what
we're
doing
we're
trunk
we're
leading
an
effort
is
to
take
a
look
at
that.
A
First,
let's
reduce
flows
into
the
system
first
and
then
let's
take
a
look
at
how
big
the
system
needs
to
be,
and
with
that
we
hope
to
be
able
to
decrease
the
size
of
the
needed
experiences
to
the
opposite
system,
plus
the
green.
The
green
is
good
to
beautiful
gardens.
It
increases
the
shade
in
the
neighborhood
increases
property
values.
So
it's
a
it's
a
good
thing.
All
around
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on
about
things.
D
Hi
I'm
Joey
Tolbert
I'm
be
interim
finance
director
for
Pittsburgh
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
I'm
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
here
tonight
to
talk
to
you
this
about
finance
department,
but
I'm
also
thankful
to
see
you
guys
already
had
something
to
eat
because
he
never
went
to
finding
its
guy
to
talk
before
people
have
already
in
everybody's.
In.
C
D
D
If
we
don't
provide
relevant,
accurate
and
timely
financial
data,
it's
difficult
for
management
to
make
the
right
decisions
going
forward
on
what
course
of
action
to
take
whether
it
would
be
from
an
operational
point
of
view
or
a
capital
funding
point.
So
that's
our
overriding
principle
that
we
use
and
we
try
to
abide
by
it
in
all
cases.
So
the
fact
we're
providing
unbiased
direct
financial
data
go
to
the
next
slide.
Major
functions
of
our
department
in
the
finance
department
is
obviously
the
preparation
of
financial
statements.
D
We
prepare
financial
statements
on
a
monthly
basis,
but
also
for
our
annual
audit,
we're
also
directly
involved
in
the
operating
budget
for
debt
management.
The
annual
audit,
as
I
mentioned,
payroll
in
procurement.
As
mr.
good
mentioned,
we
have
250
employees,
250
people
like
us,
every
other
Thursday
in
the
authority,
so
all
across
the
board.
Next
one
will
sit.
D
On
our
financial
statements,
the
thing
is
the
fact
that
we
prepare
our
financial
statements
on
a
monthly
basis.
What
we
do
is
the
fact
that
we
provide
financial
information
to
the
board,
as
well
as
to
the
executive
director.
We
break
it
down
by
department,
because
we
do
a
budget
variance
analysis,
it's
on
a
monthly
basis.
So
the
fact
that
we
can
look
at
trends
throughout
the
year
and
each
respected
department
manager
gets
a
monthly
financial
statements.
So
the
fact
that
they
can
do
their
own
analysis.
D
Other
variances,
one
of
the
things
that
we've
instituted
from
our
chief
operating
officer
this
year,
is
the
fact
that
we're
reaching
out
to
each
individual
department.
If
there
is
a
budget
variance
that
is
greater
than
fifteen
percent
or
it's
over
one
hundred
thousand
dollars.
We're
asking
them
for
a
direct
reference
to
that
variance
and
why
it
is,
if
it's
a
positive
or
a
negative
variance
of
the
fact
that
we
can
understand.
D
What's
going
on
in
the
business
versus
the
fact
of
waiting
to
the
end
of
the
year
or
during
the
annual
budget
process
of
the
fact
to
trying
to
remember
what
happened
in
April.
Now
each
one
of
the
departments
is
responsible
for
their
individual
budgets,
and
then
those
budgets
will
talk
about
is
more
detailed
as
we
move
forward.
D
And
then
the
operating
budget,
one
of
the
things
that
we
try
to
is
in
fact
we
like
to
take
a
bottom-up
point
of
view
to
the
budget
and
what
we
mean
from
a
bottom-up
as
we
reach
out
to
the
individual
departmental
managers
and
they
involve
their
employees.
It
goes
from
the
bottom
employees
all
the
way
up
to
management
versus
the
approach.
If
we
took
a
top
down
the
budget
approach,
there's
no
ownership
in
the
field,
for
example
here
at
the
water
plant.
D
D
good
reference
that
has
put
into
our
water,
whereas
if
the
budget
comes
from
the
departmental
managers
and
they've
involved,
their
employees
they've
identified
items
that
they
need
for
normal
operations
and
also
for
capital
expenditures
from
an
operating
point
of
view
if
they
need
vehicles
or
if
they
need
computers
or
they
need
some
technological
advancement
or
a
major
repair,
because,
like
here
at
the
water
plant,
there's
always
an
item
that
it
seems
like
that's
always
up
for
a
repair,
whether
it
be
a
pump.
The
lime,
Slater
or
anything
like
that
now.
D
The
thing
is
is
also,
as
I
mentioned,
on
the
on
the
monthly
variance
analysis.
That
is
where
we
have
direct
interaction
on
a
monthly
basis
with
each
one
of
the
departmental
managers.
So
the
fact
that
we
can
review
their
financial
performance
on
debt
management
in
our
department,
one
of
the
critical
things
for
dead
is,
as
mr.
good
alluded
to.
We
issued
capital
debt.
We
have
debt
on
the
books
of
over
seven
hundred
million
dollars,
whether
it
be
through
bond
debt
or
through
pen
vest
loans
for
capital
improvements
through
the
authority.
D
We
will
also
work
hand-in-hand
with
the
engineering
department
and
mr.
Christians.
Here
he
will
give
an
update
on
our
capital
improvement
plan.
We
work
hand-in-hand
with
engineering
to
see
what
the
cash
flow
needs
are
going
to
be
for
our
future
future
capital
improvement
program
and
try
to
match
that
with
a
debt
profile.
So
the
fact
that
we
can
go
out
to
the
debt
market
and
take
advantage
of
the
best
interest
rates
possible
for
the
authority
and
try
to
match
the
cash
flow
projections
that
are
needed,
a
capital
improvement
program
with
our
capital
funding.
D
One
of
the
things
that
obviously
we
have
to
do
on
an
annual
basis
is
we
have
to
make
principal
and
interest
payments
on
all
of
our
debt
in
a
timely
manner,
because
the
authority
is
a
component
unit
of
the
overall
city
government,
but
we
do
have
an
independent
debt
rating.
Our
rating
is
currently
a2
by
Moody's
and
SP.
D
We
have
an
independent
financial
advisor
and
we
work
with
them
in
bond
counsel
in
order
to
try
to
maximize
our
debt
position,
so
we
can
minimize
our
annual
payments
or
interest,
for
example,
if
there
was
an
opportunity
to
do
a
refunding
if
we
had
a
bond
that
was
outstanding,
that
was
paying
a
six
percent
interest
rate
and
we
could
take
advantage
of
a
three
percent
market.
Think
of
it
as
refinancing
your
own
home.
If
you
had
a
chance
to
lower
your
mortgage,
you
would
do
the
same
thing.
D
D
Currently
in
2014
and
our
recent
audit,
the
thing
is,
is
we
were
able
to
obtain
a
one
hundred
and
eighty
percent
debt
service
coverage
ratio
so
which
that's
a
direct
compliment,
every
departmental
manager
in
controlling
their
budget,
as
well
as
being
able
to
identify
revenue
sources
that
we
can
increase
revenues
for
the
authority
in
the
last
two
years.
We've
been
very
fortunate
in
the
fact
in
our
operating
side
of
our
budget,
we've
actually
in
our
actual
results
for
the
year
have
been
within
one
percent
of
the
budgeted
amount.
D
D
The
annual
audit.
This
is
our
opportunity
where
an
outside
auditor
comes
in
and
audits
the
books.
This
is
like
in
any
other
company.
You
know
the
art
that
our
fiscal
year
runs
on
the
calendar
your
basis
and
on
the
calendar
year,
our
annual
auditors.
They
come
in.
They
like
the
visit
us
in
March,
and
our
audit
has
to
be
done
by
April
thirtieth
because
we
are
a
component
unit
of
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
D
One
of
the
things
we're
very
proud
of
is
the
fact
that
our
annual
audit
is
non-qualified,
and
they
have,
in
our
opinion
of
our
auditors,
is
that
our
financial
statements
fairly
represent
and
present
the
financial
condition
of
the
authority
and
just
like
in
a
corporation
mr.
good
and
myself.
We
both
have
to
sign
off
on
the
relevance
and
the
accuracy
of
the
financial
information
we
have.
D
We're
also
required
to
make
annual
required
filings
with
a
service
that
we
use
called
dak,
dak,
actually
posts
for
investors,
our
financial
results
and
we're
required
to
do
that
within
90
days
of
the
receipt
of
the
audit
that
that
requirement
is
met
or
subject
to
fines.
Next
slide
the
payroll
function.
As
mr.
good
stated,
we
have
approximately
250
employees
throughout
the
authority,
we're
on
a
biweekly
payroll
cycle.
The
thing
is
the
fact
that
we
take
care
of
the
payroll
function
within
the
finance
department
and
I
assure
you
when
the
paychecks
are
okay.
D
You
never
hear
a
word
from
the
employees,
but
if
there's
a
nickel
run,
we
hear
about
it
whether
it's
40
our
time
and
I
mean
it's
just
take
scared
leave
requests.
We
have
multiple
union
environments,
we
have
white
color,
we
have
blue
collar
unions,
I
mean
we
have.
We
have
more
rates
and
wage
classes
and
classes
of
jobs
that
we
can
even
list.
I'd
say
what
we
have
at
least
a
100
classes
across
all
functions
that
we
have
so
payrolls
always
function
next,
and
then
we
also
handle
procurement
the
on
procurement.
D
Obviously,
everything
is
procurements.
Based
on
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania
regulations.
We
had
to
follow
all
the
regulations
for
a
procurement.
Our
department
managers
sometimes
like
to
see
yell
at
our
procurement
manager
because
of
the
fact
that
the
time
constraints,
because
we
have
to
advertise
and
also
the
bid
requirements
and
our
board
also
likes
to
see
any
time
we
go
out
for
a
competitive
bid.
D
They
want
to
know
how
many
in
firms
actually
picked
up
the
RFP
and
how
many
responses
that
we
got
what
they're
doing
there
is
they're
measuring
the
number
of
firms
that
are
responding
versus
that's
firms
that
pick
up
the
actual
solicitation,
because
the
goal
is
the
more
competition
we
have.
The
better
rates
that
we're
going
to
get
for
the
authority,
so
competitive
bidding
is
very
useful
for
us.
When
we're
looking
at
professional
services
and
materials,
the
type
of
solicitation
is
dictated
in
various
forms.
D
Will
we
go
out
for
RFP
or
if
we
can
use
co-stars
or
the
fact
we
go
out
for
an
IFB
on
a
requirement
for
that?
Any
type
of
lib
have
expenditure
that
exceeds
the
executive
directors.
Limitations
of
nineteen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
for
approval
requires
board
approval
and
we
have
to
go
out
for
competitive
did
if
it's
over
ten
thousand
dollars.
We
can
get
three
quotes
and
and
comply
with
the
procurement
rules
of
the.
E
E
Challenges
mr.
good
hit
on
this
quite
a
bit
aging
infrastructure.
I'd
like
to
point
out.
This
is
not
a
problem
specific
to
Pittsburgh
any
older
City.
Many
cities
across
the
united
states
have
aging
infrastructure
issues
our
age
of
pipe
average,
eight
years
old,
as
Jim
alluded
to
we're
about
400
year
replacement
cycle
right
now,
not
sustainable.
E
It's
something
that
we're
looking
into
it's
a
challenge
of
authority,
but
also
a
challenge
of
every
utility
and
city
across
the
United
States
aging
infrastructure
drives
our
capital
program
is
one
of
the
drivers
for
increasing
regulations
is
one
of
our
challenges,
as
as
we
go
along
regulation
become
more
stringent,
EPA
puts
out
guidelines,
states,
adopt
those
guidelines
and
enforces
guidelines
over
time
very
so
that
is
something
that
also
drives
our
capital
improvement
program
decreasing
population.
It's
kind
of
hard
to
argue
that,
and
this
this
day
it
seems
like
there's
so
much
development
within
the
city.
E
Therefore,
decrease
population
which
is
a
decrease
in
revenue
as
great
a
server
what
we
use
to
to
run
the
board,
a
study
that
was
done
not
too
long
ago,
40
year
of
planning
study,
estimated
2.6
billion
dollars
was
necessary
to
invest
in
the
system
to
bring
a
current
and
to
replace
and
get
back
on
a
regular
replacement
schedule.
So,
just
to
give
you
an
order
of
magnitude
of
the
dollars
we're
talking
about.
But
again
it's
a
very
common
problem.
E
Okay,
just
want
to
give
a
idea
of
what
kind
of
infrastructure
what
quantities
we
have.
We
have
about
930
miles
of
water
line,
about
1,200
miles
of
sewer
line,
more
than
25,000
valves,
hydrants,
more
than
7,300
storage
facilities,
five
reservoirs,
11
tanks,
sewage
pump
stations
for
over
30,000
catch
basins
and
29,000
manholes.
A
couple
things
I'd
like
to
point
out
from
this
slide:
there's
not
only
one
main
treatment
plant
for
the
city
and
Millville.
C
E
Sewage
pump
stations
there's
only
four
okay,
so
that
means
that
the
planners,
the
original
planners
took
advantage
of
gravity
took
advantage
of
all
our
contours
and
our
goals
within
the
city.
And
basically,
if
you
eliminate
pumps,
you
use
gravity,
you
save
on
electric
costs.
One
of
your
three
biggest
costs
with
the
utilities
is
electricity.
E
I,
don't
get
too
scared
with
the
slides.
I
did
this
more
for
me
to
talk
to
talk
from
rather
our
engineering
department.
Right
now.
We
currently
have
about
eighty
four
projects
moving
through
the
department
in
some
form
in
some
phase.
Ok,
some
are
completed
water
and
construction
somewhat
just
beginning
we
have
about
staff
of
about
24,
p,
/,
so
very
proud
of
our
staff
and
the
amount
of
work
that
we
actually
do
manage
going
through
there
so
about
thirty.
E
Six
projects
are
in
construction
for
just
beginning
and
23
or
in
close
out,
but
Joey's
already
mentioned.
Funding
sources
like
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
44
of
our
projects
are
funded
from
bonds
and
mr.
Tolbert
talked
about
bonds
and
other
forms
of
funding
developer
funding
so
with
especially
with
all
the
development
going
on
right
now.
24
of
our
projects
are
developer,
funded
projects
I'd
like
to
mention
sewer
separation
when
a
developer
comes
in
and
they
renovate
the
area
most
of
our
system.
E
Right
now
is
a
combined
system
where
you
have
stormwater
and
you
have
sewage
in
one
pipe,
that's
being
conveyed
to
Alviss
and
when
we
go
into
an
area
and
we
look
to
relay
a
sewer
separate
the
sewer
so
instead
of
one
type
you're
gonna
have
to
you,
have
storm
water
pipe
and
you're
going
to
have
a
sewage
pipe
now
down
the
street.
They
combine
back
into
a
combined
system,
but
over
time,
a
long
period
of
time.
E
With
this
approach,
the
entire
system
will
be
separated
and
economic
when
you
can't
just
rip
them
in
the
street
and
then
separate
everything
at
once.
So,
let's
the
approach
the
authority
takes
like
when
doing
these
projects
and
as
development
occurs,
infrastructure
is
renewed,
now
wanted
to
point
out
the
distribution
of
some
of
our
projects,
kind
of
a
measle
chart
at
the
end
over
the
city
map
in
millvale
well
spread
out
throughout
the
city
criteria.
Jim
matching
criteria,
age
of
pipe-
is
a
huge
prick,
huge
indicator
of
what
going
to
be
replaced.
It
really
drives.
E
The
distribution
system
looks
the
treated
water
system,
replacement,
age
of
hype,
main
breaks,
location
and
criticality,
who
it's
actually
serves.
Sewers
and
I've
got
a
slide
a
little
bit
later
in
this
presentation
will
show
you
some
criticality
major
minus
QL,
but
sewers
are
also
age
and
location,
but
also
volume.
That
is
this
a
particular
area.
That's
having
problems.
What
we'll
take
a
look
at,
because
a
lot
of
areas
are
others
basement
backup
issues
within
the
city
that
we
look
to
deal
with,
so
that
does
drive
a
lot
of
one
of
our
co
projects
as
well.
E
So
our
capital
improvement
program
is
a
five
year
program
and
again
please
don't
pay
too
much,
as
mentioned
the
graphs
one
for
me
to
talk
to
top
run
so
the
first
graphs
from
2014
in
2020,
so
late
2013,
we
got
a
new
bond
2014.
We
started
ramping
up
our
construction
stages.
Alright,
so
we
were
spending.
E
A
year
and
as
Jim
mentioned
we're
about
50
million
dollars
a
year
right
now,
50
million
dollars
a
year
is
still
hundreds
of
years
of
replacing
the
system.
So
again,
we
need
to
look
to
ramp
up,
but
$15
million
is
more
than
we've
ever
done
before.
Getting
an
idea
of
the
overall
magnitude
by
the
end
of
2019,
we're
about
430
million
dollars
invested
back
into
the
system,
so
I
want
to
give
you
the
feeling
that
where
we
are
looking
at
very
proactively
looking
at
bridget
system
of
the
standards,
also,
what
comes
into
players
alternate
funding?
E
E
E
Address-
and
that
is
the
end
of
that-
it's
about
2026,
so
there's
a
lot
of
money
funding
towards
the
end
of
that
to
to
address
those
issues.
But
what
was
mentioned
already
was
our
filter.
Rehab
replacement,
biofilter
rehab
projects.
We
have
18
rapid
sand
filters
here
at
this
facility,
which
you
all
see
a
little
later.
They
are
being
rehabilitated
by
a
large
project
moving
through
here
now
to
36
month
projects,
and
that
is
the
purple
women
through
that's
really
going
to
drive
a
good
bit
of
our
capital
spending
right
now.
E
E
You
have
more
eyes
on
projects,
you
have
more
people
involved
or
expertise
and
the
idea
is
you're
going
to
get
a
better
product
more
efficiently.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
sustainability
grain
of
the
structure,
James
Stitt,
will
talk
more
about
that.
We
have
five
positions
within
the
engineering
group
dedicated
to
sustainability
and
green
infrastructure.
One
open
position
right,
Energy
Manager,
we're
looking
to
fill,
but
it's
a
major
commitment
into
a
sustainable
approach
to
project
execution.
E
Ebuild
our
implementation,
a
builder,
is
a
project
management
tool,
so
I
mentioned
capital
funding
and
limited.
We
need
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
with
managing
our
projects
and
tools
that
you
builder
allow
us
to
do
that.
So
an
investment
in
something
like
that
to
better
maximize
our
spending
is
also
things
that
we
look
at.
E
Cmms
is
computer
maintenance
management
system,
so
it's
a
very
modern
way
to
run
a
utility
vary
per
tool
for
utility.
Basically,
it
records
your
infrastructure
and
the
amount
of
money
you're
spending
and
the
amount
of
repairs
that
you're
spending
towards
specific
infrastructure
allows
you
to
make
decisions.
Should
we
be
referring
this,
or
should
we
actually
let
it
go
and
just
plan
on
replacing
in
the
future
blouse
to
better
determine
where
our
capital
investments
should
go?
E
Rather,
new
field
of
engineering,
spinning
off
from
this
reliability,
engineering,
its
predictive
maintenance,
its
risk
analysis,
it's
actually
a
really
exciting
field,
and
it's
something
that
we're
moving
towards
and
it's
brilliant
made
us
so
well.
Modern
utility,
an
annual
contracts
was
mentioned.
The
board
looks
at
our
bidding
who's
bidding
that
we're
doing
it
competitively.
We
want
to
encourage
competitions,
encourage
the
best
price,
but
not
only
that,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
services
provided
a
lot
of
contracts.
Recently,
we
started
breaking
up
into
multiple
contractors.
E
I'm
not
going
to
talk
too
much
about
green
infrastructure
as
James
is
here,
but
wanted
to
point
out
in
this
sly,
some
of
our
partners
and
the
areas
of
projects
throughout
the
city,
three
rivers,
wet
weather,
economic
development,
South
alkis
and
the
various
universities
throughout
the
city
and
the
city
itself.
But
this
is
something
that's
a
big
topic,
it's
moving
forward
and
it's
definitely
an
approach
to
solving
some
of
our
problems.
I
will
talk
about
one
project
with
green
construction.
I
have
not
just
in
James
slender,
too
much
maryland,
avenue
shadyside
area.
E
So
we
looked
at
basically
the
boxed
area
in
the
middle
picture.
There
and
part
of
the
problem
is
no
matter
what
we
do
we
can
make.
We
can
renew
the
stores
we
can
make
the
sewers
larger.
The
problem
is:
there's
too
much
water
falling
too
fast
in
that
specific
area
that
you
can't
get
out
of
that
area
without
a
major
investment
to
go
all
the
way
to
the
river.
So
what
do
you
do
to
solve
this
problem
and
one
tool
for
doing
that
is
green
infrastructure,
which
which
change
we'll
talk
about.
E
And
just
summarize,
some
of
our
projects,
I
mentioned
our
filter
rehab
project.
We
have
a
project
at
our
brecon
pump
station
with
valve
replacement.
We
must
skate
a
project,
the
supervisory
control
and
data
acquisition
system.
It's
basically
remote
control,
remote
data,
access
of
our
various
facilities
and
more
updated
control
and
data
logging
allows
us
to
make
better
decisions
and
more
of
a
modern
approach
to
it.
Claire
well
upgrade.
The
clear
well
is
right
here
in
aspinwall
with
this
plant,
it's
very
old,
and
it's
something
that
we're
looking
to
address
in
the
next
five
years.
E
We
just
finished
a
transmission
rate,
main
rehab,
on
our
60
inch
line.
One
could
mention
about.
This
is
what
we
use
is
trenchless
technology,
so,
rather
than
digging
up
a
whole
sore
going
in
and
replacing
it.
What
we
do
is
look
at
lining
it
or
yet
some
kind
of
lining
or
bad
or
coding,
and
basically
renews
the
sort
without
having
to
excavate
the
entire
pipe.
E
It's
much
more
cost
effective
to
get
a
lot
of
life
out
of
it
and
again
trying
to
stretch
the
capital
dollars
the
rest
of
projects,
various
pump
station
projects,
water
line
projects,
unless
you
can't
get
the
sword
/
beds,
the
green
infrastructure
projects
I
mentioned
some
of
our
consent
order.
Sore
wastewater
spending
was
later
in
our
program.
That's
our
CSO
phase,
one
project
and
joint
projects.
E
Another
thing
that
we
do
for
extending
the
funding
as
much
as
possible,
especially
in
the
last
year's
we're
looking
at
joint
ventures
if
the
city,
if
another
utility
is
going
in
to
a
street
and
replacing
their
infrastructure
we'd
like
to
get
in
on
that
with
them,
and
share
some
of
the
work
with
them.
Basically,
if
we're
both
in
the
same
street.
At
the
same
time,
we
can
share
some
of
the
costs
of
repaving
and
we're
doing
the
street
so
again
respect
for
spreading
the
dollars.
As
far
as
we
can.
F
So
my
name
is
James
Stitt
I'm,
the
sustainability
manager
for
the
Pittsburgh,
Water
and
Sewer
Authority.
Part
of
my
job
involves
just
about
everything
that
we
do
because
in
some
way
shape
or
form
I
didn't
usually
pulled
into
something
every
day
and
it's
new
and
different,
because
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
incorporate
this
idea
of
sustainability
throughout
our
entire
system.
Right
we
want.
We
want
to
look
at
everything
we
do
from
its
perspective
of.
Is
it
cost-effective?
Is
it
efficient?
F
Is
it
looking
for
the
best
interest
of
the
people
and
the
planet
that
we
have
to
deal
with,
as
well
as
being
economically
sound
and
feasible?
A
large
part
of
my
job
is
involving
stormwater
management
and
green
infrastructure,
something
that
Jim
talked
about
a
little
bit
earlier,
and
you
heard
about
the
consent,
orders
and
the
consent.
Decrees.
That
alcasid
has
the
consent,
orders
that
municipalities
out
basically
demanding
in
requiring
us
to
remove
those
overflows
and
reduce
them
from
happening
and
contaminating
our
rivers
as
they
said
what
happens
on
a
normal
dry
day,
that's
sanitary
sewage.
F
That
leaves
your
house
drops
down
into
your
drain
pipes
into
the
sewage
pipes,
flows
along
and
then
makes
its
way
to
the
treatment
facility
downstream
when
we
get
heavy
rains
that
water
collects
on
the
rooftops,
the
roadways,
the
sidewalks
and
then
flows
into
the
drains
and
the
catch
basins
along
there.
If
it's
a
heavy
enough
storm,
it
falls
into
that
same
pipe
and
then
will
overflow
into
the
river,
because
this
pipe
on
its
way
to
this
treatment
facility
can
no
longer
have
any
head.
F
Miller
has
any
more
capacity
to
carry
any
more
water
that
water
has
to
go
somewhere,
and
if
this
opening
wasn't
here
at
the
river
mouth,
then
this
pipe
would
back
up
and
that
water
would
come
back
up
into
your
basements
or
you
know
into
your
drains
so
problem
with
that.
We
end
up
with
contaminated
rivers
that
have
e.coli
and
other
bacterial
pathogens
in
them
about
70
days
out
of
the
year.
We'll
have
this
problem
as
little
as
one
tenth
of
rent.
F
An
inch
of
rain
can
cause
a
particular
outfall
to
activate
and
them
sewage
into
the
river
you'll
notice,
not
a
whole
lot
of
sewage
mixed
with
that
storm
water,
but
the
problem
is
kind
of
like
the
the
old
vintner.
You
know,
if
you're
a
winemaker,
if
you
have
a
barrel,
vinegar
and
a
barrel
of
wine,
you
take
one
drop
of
wine
and
put
it
in
the
vinegar.
F
It's
still
vinegar,
but
if
you
take
one
drop
of
vinegar
and
put
it
in
the
wine,
you
now
have
a
barrel
of
vinegar,
same
thing
with
the
sewage
you
take
one
drop
of
sanitary,
sewage
mix
it
with
that
rainwater.
It's
out
all
sanitary
suit
right,
it's
all
raw
sewage
ins.
It's
been
contaminated,
so
our
job
is
to
try
and
treat
this
right,
because
what
it
causes
is
things
like
this
flooding
basement.
Backups
occur.
This
here
is
an
outfall.
F
F
One
of
the
things
we
want
to
try
to
do
is
keep
that
water
from
getting
into
the
pipes
in
the
first
place
right
that
storm
water
falls
from
the
sky.
Land
hit
hits
the
ground
rolls
across
the
pavement
the
asphalt
and
ends
up
into
a
sewer.
We
want
to
prevent
it
from
getting
to
that
sewer
in
the
first
place.
So
how
do
we
do
that
rooftops?
We
can
do
things
like
rooftop
gardens
and
green
roofs.
We
do
things
in
your
guards,
like
you
know,
rain
gardens
that
kind
of
stuff.
F
The
green
infrastructure
helps
us
keep
the
rain
water
work
follows
this
is
a
whole
new
idea
in
stormwater
management
history.
Up
until
this
time
you
know
the
last
decade
or
so
was
stormwater
that
bad
for
my
building,
bad
for
my
site
when
it
falls
from
the
sky
and
lands
on
the
ground,
I
want
to
get
it
in
a
pipe
and
take
it
away
as
quickly
as
possible.
Problem
with
that
is
same
lesson.
We
learned
with
trash
and
recycling
25
years
ago.
F
F
And
that
storm
water
doesn't
go
into
the
pipe
and
then
go
away.
It
goes
somewhere
else.
Somebody
has
to
deal
with
it
PWSA
or
alka
sand,
or
when
we
can't
handle
the
capacity
the
rivers
get
together.
This
is
a
new
approach,
change
the
whole
paradigm,
we're
going
to
deal
with
that
water
before
it
gets
into
the
pipe
we're
not
going
to
take
it
away,
we're
going
to
figure
out
a
way
to
handle
it
on
site,
so
green
infrastructure
is
going
to
help
us
do
that
in
many
different
ways.
F
One
example
here
is
a
rain
garden.
This
is
something
you'll
see
a
lot
of
residential
use
for
it
and
just
like
the
rain
garden
we
have
out
here,
this
was
just
planted
last
fall,
so
it's
only
now
just
coming
into
maturity
and
getting
out
of
the
plants
to
start
to
flower
landscaping,
but
it's
also
a
stormwater
management
asset.
It's
it
works
and
it's
engineered
to
work
just
like
any
other
stormwater
management.
F
These
are
some
examples
of
rain
gardens
that
are
in
the
local
area.
This
one
here
not
only
captures
water
from
this
house,
but
you'll
see
this
curb
cut
here
that
takes
water
from
the
street
and
into
that
rain
garden
as
well-
and
this
is
another
one
here
that
one
on
that
side
is
over
regent
square,
right
in
front
of
Rick
park
on
braddock
avenue.
F
Bios
whales
are
a
similar
to
a
rain
garden.
It's
a
sort
of
like
a
long
linear,
rain
garden.
This
one
here
you
can
see
taking
water
from
the
sidewalk
as
well
as
the
street.
During
a
rainstorm,
this
channel
fills
up
with
water
after
it
rains
all
these
plants
soak
up
that
water
drink
it
up,
evapotranspiration
back
into
the
atmosphere,
what
they
don't
drink
up,
it's
so
did
to
the
soil
and
absorbed
back
into
the
ground
below.
B
F
F
F
This
is
a
rain
barrel
that
a
lot
of
homes,
you'll,
see
them
connected
up
to
downspouts
and
the
gutters
on
the
corner
in
the
home,
they're
great.
They
capture
a
lot
of
roof
water
runoff
key
to
the
rain.
Barrels,
though,
is
what's
going
to
happen
to
this
thing.
After
a
couple
of
rains,
it's
going
to
fill
up
right,
so
you
gotta
drain
it
you
got
to
use
that
water.
Remember
that
it's
there.
F
If
you
hear
on
the
weather
report
that
the
others
rain
storm
coming
go
check
your
rain
barrel,
if
you
have
one
make
sure
that
it's
empty
or
at
least
drained
down,
so
that
you
have
the
capacity
so
that
water
doesn't
actually
revert
back
to
the
governors
and
the
sewer
pipes,
green
roof
I
mentioned
earlier.
This
is
another
way
to
capture
rainwater
on
the
building
and
in
the
in
the
you
know,
by
using
soil
media,
and
a
lot
of
this
media
is
a
very
lightweight
planting
soil.
F
It's
not
necessarily
like
you
know,
heavy
clumps
of
dirt
that
you're
putting
up
there,
it's
more
like
I,
don't
like
remember
the
vermiculite
and
some
of
those
other
mediums.
Yes,
like
holds
a
lot
of
water.
You,
you
know,
get
a
wide
variety
of
plants,
grasses
and
other
things.
This
was
a
part
of
the
David
Lawrence
convention
senator.
This
was
an
all
smooth,
concrete
patio
that
they
really
didn't.
Have
any
plans
for
weren't
going
to
do
anything
with
came
up
with
a
design
for
a
green
roof.
F
Some
other
things
are
trees.
Tree
boxes,
trees
are
like
sort
of.
I
can
call
them
the
stormwater
rock
stars,
because
the
bigger
the
tree
gets
the
more
it
drinks
right,
the
more
its
roots
spread
out,
but
more
water.
It
can
suck
up
New
York
City,
some
other
cities
of
standardized
treatments
that
have
an
inlet
here,
then
outlet
here
water
goes
in
falls
in
if
it
gets
filled
up
to
full,
and
it's
just
overflows
right
back
out
to
the
street.
You
continues
on
its
way
on.
This
is
another
examples
here,
a
similar
type
idea.
F
You
can
see
how
these
are
incorporated
into
the
normal
pedestrian
pathways
and
the
sidewalks
and
the
streetscape
doesn't
really
change
much,
but
it
does
improve
the
look
in
the
feel
of
this
street.
You
know
to
be
much
more
comfortable
and
happy
walking
down
that
Street
than
just
something
that
was
completely
covered
on
paper.
F
This
is
our
goal
at
Pittsburgh,
Water
and
Sewer
Authority
I
mentioned.
We
have
a
70
days
approximately
every
year
that
we
can't
you
know
technically
shouldn't,
be
you
know,
having
contact
with
the
rivers
in
the
waterways.
Our
goal
is
to
eliminate
that
and
make
it
so
that
we
can
come
in
contact.
We
can
have
access
to
our
rivers
and
waterways.
F
All
three
rivers
365
days
a
year,
we've
seen
a
lot
more
increased
activity
along
our
waterways,
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
you
are
kayakers
or
you
know,
boaters
Allegheny
County
has
the
largest
inland
boat
registration
of
any
inland
port
so
other
than
the
coastal
areas
along
the
oceans
on
each
side
of
the
coast.
We
have
more
boats
here
than
any
other
city
in
the
country.
We
also
have
a
lot
more.
You
know
to
see
a
lot
more
people
with
kayaks.
We
have
the
rubber
duck
a
couple
of
summers
ago.
F
They
brought
people
out
in
droves,
the
buildings
in
the
city
now
everybody's
sort
of
turning
to
face
the
rivers,
whereas
in
the
past
you
know
we
had
our
backs
to
the
rivers.
Nobody
wanted
to
do
anything
with
the
rivers.
They
were
dirty.
They
were
discussing
that
we
want
to
deal
with
them.
Well,
we've.
F
Had
the
Bassmasters
competition
here
a
couple
of
years
running
out
a
lot
more
aquatic
ecosystem
restoration
going
on
and
we
want
to
keep
it
that
way
and
make
it
even
better.
So
that's
sort
of
our
goal
with
the
green
infrastructure
program
that
we
have
and
our
approach
is
to
do
the
green
stuff
first,
so
that
we
can
eliminate
that
water
that
we
don't
have
to
build
so
many
pipes
and
so
much
gray
infrastructure,
because
the.
B
F
Steps
on
the
surface,
where
we
can
see
it
and
enjoy
it
and
get
the
other
benefits
out
of
it.
Other
benefits
like
improved
air
quality,
improved
neighborhood,
impression,
economic
development
people
want
to
live
and
build
where
there's
green
space
and
parks
and
waterfront
access.
So
we're
hoping
to
encourage
a
lot
more
of
that.
I
did
bring
a
sample
here
of
the
porous
concrete.
If
you
take
a
look
at.
F
That
porous
concrete
that
you
know
we
saw
in
the
screen
there.
The
water
soaks
through
it
is
looks.
A
little
funky
looks
more
like
kind
of
like
a
sponge,
so
you
can
see
there's
some
pores
in
it.
If
I
turn
this
pump
on
as
the
water
hits,
the
top
of
it
you'll
note
that
it
doesn't
pool
and
run
off
the
sides
and
you're
welcome
to
come
up
and
take
a
look
at
this.
F
Usually,
the
way
this
is
set
up
is
there's
a
bed
of
gravel
and
some
other
material
underneath
it
will
increase
even
more
water
capacity
below
it
and
support
the
stone-
it's
not
probably
appropriate
for
roadways,
but
in
parking
areas
like
we
saw
on
that
picture
there,
it's
a
fantastic
application
so
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Gina,
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
more
about
water
quality
and
what
goes
on
here
at
the
plant
and
then
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
some
more
questions.
Hi.
C
So
where
does
the
Pittsburgh
water
and
supply
come
from
when
we
get
our
water
from
the
Allegheny
River
fund,
so
the
Allegheny
River
225
miles
long?
It
actually
starts
up
in
New,
York
State,
and
it
goes
through
a
PN
and
back
to
New,
York
and
finally
on
to
PA
again
and
as
we
know
it
and
at
the
point
where
it
merges
with
the
Oaxaca
with
them
monongahela
river,
to
form
the
Ohio
River.
The
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
estimates
that
1.2
billion
gallons
of
water
passes
our
intake
every
day.
C
So
that
just
goes
to
speak
to
how
water
rich
our
region
really
is.
We
have
an
allocation
permit,
as
Bob
mentioned,
that
we
can
withdrawal
or
take
out
a
hundred
million
gallons
a
day
from
the
river.
But
so
we
have
to
manage
the
stormwater
runoff
and
things
like
that,
so
that
we
can
have
good
quality
water
coming
into
the
to
the
system,
but
that's
just
showing
some
City.
Some
areas
of
our
country
are
facing
water
drought,
but
we
just
have
such
as
a
well
good
supply
that
we
want
to
keep
it
sustainable.
C
You
couldn't
do
so,
but
what
really
does
affect
your
drinking
water
we'll
go
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
so
some
causes
of
your
drinking
water.
But
what
is
what,
when
we're
saying
water
body?
What
are
we
really
talking
about?
Well
duh,
when
we
use
that
term
water
quality,
we're
describing
the
health
of
that
body
of
water
via?
Can
basic
contaminants
either
a
chemical,
biological
or
physical
characteristics
of
that
body
of
water?
C
And
there
are
two
types
of
pollution
that
could
affect
this
body
of
water
and
right
now
we're
talking
primarily
with
the
source,
the
raw
water,
the
river
water.
You
could
have
point
source
contamination
and
it's
kind
of
I
had
it
explained
to
me
if
you
can
point
it
and
see
where
it's
coming
from
from
a
pipe.
It's
something
that
you
can
identify
our
trace:
nonpoint
source
pollution,
czar,
something
that
can't
be
traced
like
agricultural
runoff,
or
you
know
street
runoff.
Those
types
of
pollutions
and
the
next
slides
will
show
some
examples
of
that.
C
You
can
hit
it
again.
So
here
we
see,
we
have
urban
sewage
runoff,
like
James,
talked
about
CSO.
So
it's
a
combination
of
storm
water
and
sewage
and
sometimes
I
just
storm
water
running
into
B
into
the
river
ways.
We
have
acid
mine
drainage.
This
area
was
lying
tap
delete'
in
some
areas
with
its
rivers
are
affected.
By
add
to
mine
drainage.
We
see
oil
spills
some
time
to
get
oil
machines
on
our
rivers
and
then
a
runoff
and
ending
this
in
the
wintertime.
C
A
lot
people
don't
maybe
think
about
this
a
week
we
call
the
big
mouth.
At
least
we
notice
turbidity
levels
in
the
rivers
increasing
because
of
all
that,
the
salt
that
they're
using
on
the
roadways
gets
flushed
and
it
goes
into
our
rivers.
So
that's
another
source
of
contamination
that
we
can
see
happening
within
the
rivers.
You
can
go
to
the
next
book.
So
what
can
I
utility
do
to
make
sure
that
they're
being
protected
against
all
the
contamination
that
or
the
threats
that
could
potentially
contaminate
our
rivers?
C
C
Another
way
that
PWSA
the
implements
the
source
water
protection
plan
is,
you
can
is
by
a
belonging
to
some
source,
water
protection
organizations.
We
belong
to
the
river
alert
information
network
and
what
that
does?
It
has
monitoring
stations
early
morning
spill
detection
networks
along
the
allegheny
yah
screaming
ma
rivers,
and
that's
just
monitored
why
Polly
grader
in
real
time
primary,
primarily
we're
looking
at
a
connective
conductivity,
pH
and
temperature.
C
We
also
remember
member
sanco,
Ohio
River
Valley
sanitation
permission
and
they
have
an
organic
detection
system
at
the
headwaters
of
the
ohio
and
then
all
along
the
Ohio,
River
and
they're.
Looking
for
volatile
organic
compounds
or
substances
that
are
derived
from
gasoline
products,
oil
products
things
like
this
and
they
also
are.
They
have
a
team
of
equal
experts
that
help
EPA
and
DP
recommend
water
quality
standards
for
your
NPDES
permits,
industrial
waste
discharge
permits-
and
things
like
this.
C
So
we
are
proud
to
be
members
of
that
those
organizations
you
can-
and
this
is
an
example
of
one
of
the
rain
monitors
when
you
go
on
the
tour
you'll
see
in
the
lab
of
the
rain,
monitor
we
have
learned
by
the
fish
tanks
and
again
we're
checking
for
konica
conductivity,
pH
and
temperature.
Some
other
expanded
source
water
panels
can
also
test
for
a
total
suspended
solids,
dissolved
oxygen,
turbidity,
ammonia
things
like
this,
so
these
are
good
things
to
know
what
you're
bringing
into
your
plant.
C
So,
as
the
Pittsburgh
water
sewer
authority,
we
use
the
multi
burial
barrier
approach
in
making
sure
that
we're
providing
safe
drinking
water
add
mentioned.
Please
we
have
our
source
water
protection
plans
when
you
tour
this.
This
is
the
conventional
filtration
plant
and
we
employ
a
clarification
which
involves
regulation,
flocculation
and
sedimentation,
and
you'll
actually
be
able
to
see
that
in
action.
C
When
you
walk
through
the
plant,
we
also
have
conventional
filtration,
which
is
that
rapid
sand
filter
those
rapid
dual
media
filters
that
bob
was
talking
about
earlier
again
you'll
be
able
to
see
those
and
disinfection.
What
is
something
that
we're
using?
We
use
sodium,
hypochlorite
or
bleach
chlorine
out
as
our
primary
disinfection.
We
also
make
sure
that
that
disinfection
is
carried
throughout
the
distribution
system,
so
they
were
maintaining
safe,
residuals
out
there,
and
then
we
also
have
very
various
storage
facilities
for
poor
water.
C
So
why
would
I
switch
driving
this?
Not
only
do
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
out
the
highest
quality
water
possible
in
the
safest,
but
we
also
are
under
regulations
to
do
so.
As
you
can
imagine,
tap
water
is
actually
more
regulated
than
bottled
water
that
you
are
drinking
with
this
water
water
comes
from
our
member
I
plant,
so
it's
it
C,
but
so
we're
taught
so.
C
The
EPA
does
federal
regulations
that
we
have
to
follow
and
state
DEP
they'll
enforce
those
regulations,
and
then
here
we
have
the
Allegheny
County
Health
part
of
that
will
inspect
the
facilities.
So
you
can
see
we
have
a
wide
range
of
regulations
that
we
need
to
follow
agencies
that
we
need
to
comply
with.
C
So
these
are
a
various
amounts
of
water
tests
that
we
do
wanna
see
annual
daily
monthly
basis.
Some
of
these
we
will
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
in
detail.
Some
of
them
are
for
on
the
drink
water
side
of
things.
Some
of
them
are
some
non
potable
source,
water
or
wastewater
that
we
would
do
conduct
a
in-house
or
sent
to
a
contract
lab.
C
So
some
of
the
ones
that
will
talk
about
temperature.
We
talk
to
temperature
effects
on
how
much
oxygen
or
what
the
water
can
hold.
So
we
always
get
calls
in
the
winter
that
they
have.
People
have
cloudy
water
when
they're
turning
their
tap
on
and
they
get
a
glass
of
water,
and
that
cloudiness
is
a
direct
impact
on
the
temperature
temperature
variations
from
the
water
being
potent
to
remain
to
the
warmth
of
the
inside
of
your
home.
C
So
we
tell
that
them
that
if
that's
actually
just
oxygen
it,
if
you
just
set
it
on
your
counter,
those
bubbles
will
dissipate
and
the
water
should
be
clear.
So
temperature
is
a
parameter,
we're
looking
at
on
ph,
of
course,
where
you
know
water,
it's
all
about
pH,
so
we
use
PHS
are
as
a
driver
for
us
not
only
at
the
front
end
of
the
plant,
because
we
need
of
the
right
pH
to
have
that
coagulation
happening,
but
also
the
distribution
system
has
mentioned
numerous
times.
C
C
So
we
test
vigorously
for
this
on
the
long
term,
LT
to
roll
long-term
service,
water
enhancement
role
so,
and
we
also
that's
another
for
upgrading
our
filters
to
get
to
make
sure
that
we're
removing
any
potential
contamination,
also
turbidity
turbidity
of
the
measurement
of
particles
in
the
water
and
other
cloudiness.
A
light
is
in
the
water
and
again
throughout
the
entire
process
of
the
treatment
we
are.
Checking
for.
Turbidity
total
suspended
solids
and
things
like
this,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
removing
as
much
as
we
can
at
the
front
of
the
plant.
C
So
we
don't
clog
up
our
filters
and
how
we
can
sustain
more
life
out
of
our
filters
and
then
heavy
metals.
We
have
a
lot
of
metals
in
the
rivers
because
of
industrial
activity,
so
we
check
for
things
like
iron
and
manganese
and
copper
out
in
the
distribution
system.
So
all
these
things
also
play
a
role
and
what
we're
looking
at
again
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
high
quality
water
yeah.
So
my
last
slide
all
of
this
testing.
We
do
equals
quality
drinking
water
for
you
at
the
tap.
So
we
care
about.
