From YouTube: Councilwoman Brenda Rose Warner & Utilities Director Jack discuss COVID-19

Description

Councilwoman Brenda Rose Warner sits down with Utilities Director Jack Walsh to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on Cocoa's water system.

Hi I'm Brenda Warner I, am the council person for district 2 to the city of Koko, and I am here today with Jack Walsh, our Utilities Director, the man who keeps your water flowing and we're going to talk to Jack about how the city of Koko is dealing with supplying water to our residents and majority of Brevard County in the middle of this crisis. Hi jack, thanks for coming in today, really appreciate it.

I know: you're busy, Jack I'm, getting a lot of questions from our residents about the safety of our water and how we know our water is safe and if we're having to do anything to make sure this virus does not impact our water. Can you help us with that? Yes,.

B

I can so at the dial plan.

Right now, we've obviously employed a number of measures that we're all familiar with first off the social distance and keeping our workers apart from each other, so that we could thwart the spread of any virus or any contamination that may be floating around that we don't know about, but first and foremost, I think it's important to understand that our water system uses chlorine as in addition, disinfectant and in doing so it provides virus inactivation, and that has also been been listed on the CDC website, as well as the World Health Organization's website, and they feel that there's a low to no threat of contamination in the water supplies.

Thank you. Jack I really appreciate you taking the time to come in today and talk to our constituents about what's going on with our water system, and if you all have any questions you can go to our website at koko, FL org and please keep those questions coming we're here to serve you. We want to make sure your questions are answered so that you can be comfortable with the services that the city of Koko is providing to you. Thank you.
