Description
City Utilities Advisory Committee Meeting, 03/10/2022
C
A
D
Mr
chairman,
I'm
going
to
suggest
that
we
just
cover
that
the
more
important-
and
I
know
they're
all
important,
but
you
know
the
the
things
that
you
know
it
is
felt
or
that
we're
getting
beat
up
about.
Yeah
correct,
yes,
sir,
that
way
we'll
cover
you
know,
but
we
can
given
you
know
the
time
limit,
yeah.
G
B
Public
comments,
I
guess
here's
what
we
can
discuss.
I
know
one
of
the
items
you
requested,
mr
chairman,
was
the
issue
regarding
the
water
problem
with
the
36
inch
line.
Yes,
we
can
in
the
public
comment
section
we
can
discuss
that.
I
know
we
made
a
presentation
yesterday
at
noon
we
had
the
master
plan,
presentation.
A
Right,
I
I
wanted
to
be
there,
but
let
you
all
know
I
was
I've
been
down
on
my
back
for
the
past
three
days
and
I
struggled
out
of
bed
to
go
to
the
meeting
I
didn't
realize
it
was
online,
stayed
home,
anyways,
yeah,
really
my
and
maybe
the
board
member.
My
concern
is
the
public
announcements
and
all
that
just
didn't
settle
with
people
to
understand
why
it
took
so
long,
and
maybe
I
missed.
If
I'd
have
gone
to
the
meeting,
I
would
have
gotten
a
way
for
what
was
happening.
A
I
understand
that
things
happened,
but
it
seemed
like
it
was
just
the
same
hole
in
the
same
piece
of
pipe
that
was
being
broadcast
and
it
made
it
look
like
the
city
was
inept
in
trying
to
get
their
water
to
these
folks.
You
know
so
I'd
like
to
know
if
the
problem
was
just
in
one
location
or
did
we
keep
getting
breaks
when
they
put
the
pressure
back
in
or
what
was
going
on,
because
I've
been
getting
some
calls,
and
I
didn't
really.
B
B
The
pictures
and
the
the
items
are
presented
are
going
to
be
available,
so
you
can
refer
to
those
if
you'd
like,
but
on
february
18th,
when
we
got
a
call
of
the
water
leak.
That's
when
the
crews
were
sent
out,
they
inspected
the
area
and
there's
a
photograph
that
shows
the
water
that
was
coming
out
of
the
ground
and
crews
went
out
to
isolate
the
area
and
attempting
to
isolate
the
area.
You
know
some
of
the
valves
were
moving,
but
they
couldn't
tell
if
they
were
closed
or
not
or
they
stayed
open.
B
They
continue
working
once
they
had
a
chance
to
excavate
they
excavated
the
area
and
identified
a
leak
and
as
they
moved
in
you
know,
they
were
at
the
same
time
pumping
water
out
of
the
out
of
the
excavation
and
as
they
moved
in
some
more
they
found
out.
There
was
a
second
leak
so
once
they
were
able
to
control
the
excavation
identify
what
was
going
on
by
that
time,
we
had
lost
water
in
our
elevated
storage
tanks.
B
So
I
was
required
by
rule
to
issue
that
notice
and
then
I
notified
gceq
that
happened
that
night
on
the
18th
and
while
we
were
issuing
the
notice
crews
continued,
we
placed
the
clamps
around
the
leaks,
but
as
we
were
working
and
escalating
more
of
the
area
more
another
leak
appeared
and
we
we
had
two
clamps
that
were
sized
for
that
size
pipe.
The
other
one
were
two
18s
that
we
put
together
to
turn
it
into
a
36..
B
B
B
At
the
same
time,
we
got
rain
for
rent
to
build
us
a
bypass
so
that
we
could
recharge
the
line.
You
know
isolate
that
brake
and
able
to
keep
the
line
running,
but
by
the
time
we
were
able
to
cut
into
the
section.
We
had
enough
pipe
60
feet
of
pipe
to
be
able
to
install
that
broken
section,
because
what
we
turned
when
we
removed
the
pipe
the
pipe
was
pitted
underneath
on
the
bottom.
B
B
I
know
sometimes
that
what
they'll
do
is
they
will
wrap
only
areas
where
there's
current
running
in
the
ground,
where
there's
these
stray
currents
that
run
because
those
could
cause
corrosion
of
metal
and
because
of
that
exposed
pipe
in
the
ground
over
time.
I
think
current
developed
any
nicks
or
anything
curl
was
running
out
and
developed
pitting
and
that
caused
the
pipe
to
have
these
different
holes.
That
you'll
see
there's
a
picture
of
that.
B
Well,
once
we
were
able
to
cut
the
pipe
at
the
section,
we
also
were
still
being
able
to
run
water
through
the
system,
but
we
weren't
able
to
fill
our
storage
tanks.
So
that's
why
we
were
fluctuating
in
service.
Different
areas
would
have
service
others
would
not.
We
continued
working,
the
crews
continued
working.
We
had
to
get
a
contract
to
come
in
because
our
crews
were
tired
because
they
had
been
working
out
through
the
night
once
the
line
was
fully
constructed
and
in
place
backfilled
slowly.
We
begin
to
fill
that
line.
B
We
couldn't
run
too
fast
because
we
had
to
also
bleed
the
air
out
of
the
line
and
we
continued
doing
that
because
the
line
work
was
completed
on
on
february,
the
25th,
and
once
we
bled
out
all
the
air
able
to
restore
the
volume
of
water
into
the
tanks
and
help
out,
we
were
able
to
then
start
getting
back
to
normal
operations.
Slowly
but
surely,
but
still
some
areas
were
lingering
with
some
air
in
the
system
you
get
this
milky
color
in
some
of
the
water.
B
B
B
Lion
then
feeds
the
rest
of
the
tanks,
so
once
lion
fell,
the
others
weren't
able
to
get
any
storage
in
them.
Because
of
that
problem
we
had
another
line.
That
was
we
were
trying
to
bypass,
but
we
could
not
tell
if
it
was
completely
open
or
completely
shut
and
right
now
we're
working
on
those.
We
have
the
specialty
contractor
that's
available
to
help
us
isolate
areas,
we're
making
small
bypasses
and
then
the
other
project
that
I'm
looking
at
is
a
24
inch
feed
line.
B
B
On
march
4th,
when
the
state
agreed
when
we
took
all
the
samples
in
the
back
tees,
but
that
line
like
I
said
is-
is
over
50
years
old,
there
are
sections
that
are
wrapped
in
plastic,
but
I
cannot
tell
you
which
sections
are
not
and
we
need
to
make
an
assessment
on
the
condition
and
eventually
replace
that
36
inch
line.
I
know
one
of
the
plans
showed
it
as
a
42
inch
line
or
48
excuse
me,
but
that
was
based
on
not
us
not
having
el
pico.
H
E
Artudo,
have
you
collaborated
any
with?
I
know
you
all
have
several
engineering
firms
that
are
consulting
with
the
city
with
utilities?
Do
you
all
have
a
plan
just
in
case
you
know
this
happens
again
today
or
tomorrow
or
next
week,
because
it's
going
to
happen.
I
mean
it's
just
a
matter
of
when,
but
it's
going
to
happen,
especially
when
we
get
into
the
summer
months.
B
Yeah,
one
of
the
issues
that
we
ran
across
is
ordering
the
pipe
right.
Now.
We've
ordered
about
a
thousand
feet
about
1400
feet
of
pipe.
We
have
36
inch
pipe
pvc
pipe.
We
have
the
clamps.
We
have
the
fittings
that
we
need
in
case,
something
like
this
happens
and
then
that
rain
for
rent.
I
built
that
bypass.
It's
a
triple
bypass,
12
inch
pipes
that
we
we
we've
been
able
to
have
mechanical
joints,
so
we
can
disconnect
and
connect
and
whatever
we
need
to
do
to
bypass
it
and
reconnect
it
all
right.
B
We
have
that
available.
So
that's
here
now
on
the
ground.
We
have
that
bypass
so
that
we
are
able
to
mobilize
set
it
up
and
run
it,
and
we
just
need
that
specialty
contractor
that
that
is
available
to
us
is
the
name
of
the
company.
Is
mickey
service
company,
inc
and
they're
out
of
houston.
They
were
the
ones
that
helped
us
with
the
that
insert
that
stop
valve
that
we
used
and
but
now
that
we
have
this
polyethylene
pipe
hdpe
pipe.
E
We're
going
to
have
it
in
place
because
the
citizens
aren't
going
to
tolerate
you
know
going
through
this
for
another
two
or
three
weeks
I
mean
it's
going
to
just
create
too
much
heartache
for
a
lot
of
people
and
not
going
to
tolerate
it.
You
know
you
know
we
need
to
have
a
plan,
it's
going
to
be
very
important,
but
we
don't
have
this
again.
B
Yes,
we're
gonna.
In
fact
that
is
part
one
of
the
projects
we
submitted
to
the
texas
water
development
board
for
funding,
but
we're
also
doing
we
presented
at
the
workshop
at
the
workshop
yesterday,
the
36
inch
line
replacement
and
the
24
inch
feed
line
for
bartlett.
Those
two
projects
council
already
gave
us
authority
to
move
forward
with
so
we're
doing
that
we're
going
to
do
an
rfq
for
a
consultant
for
the
36
inch
pipe
because
there's
different
ways
of
doing
it.
B
We
can
do
in
what
we
call
put
it
in
a
sleeve
inside
it
to
use
the
the
existing
pipe
or
replace
it
completely.
But
it's
it.
We
need
the
engineers
to
help
us
in
designing
that
and
prepare
the
plans,
because
the
state
has
to
approve
those
plans
and
then
the
24
inch
pipe.
That
work
is
currently
ongoing,
because
I
want
to
have
a
different
source
to
the
area,
because
that
would
have
helped
it's
something
that
we
we
found
that
could
help
us.
B
We've
also
correct
fixed,
a
12-inch
line
that
goes
under
casablanca,
casablanca
under
the
berm
across
loop
20..
That
was
helping
the
359
area.
That's
it's
a
small
line,
but
it
every
little
bit
helps
and
we're
making
some
small
modifications
where
we
can
do
isolations
and
feeding
of
the
the
lines
there
in
the
lion
area.
B
A
One
of
the
comments
that
was
made
to
the
public
was
the
tanks
went
empty.
So
I
got
a
couple
yeah
three
or
four
calls
from
people.
That
was
very
irate
that
why
didn't
we
have
a
veil
on
the
tanks
to
stop
the
water
from
flowing
out,
and
I
think
I
can't
answer
that
because
I
don't
know
if
if
they
can
do
that
or
at
the
point
where
they're
at
the
people
still
getting
water,
so
I'm
kind
of
curious.
That
was
a
silly
question,
but
it
really
merits
an
answer.
B
Yeah,
the
the
to
respond
to
that
question
is
that
that
was
the
tanks
were
feeding
the
demand
at
the
time.
So
it's
it's.
It's
a
matter
of
that
the
water
was
being
used
to
feed
the
demand
and
we
weren't
where
they
were
able
to
have
storage.
We're
able
to
get
into
the
system
with
the
high
service
pump
that
we
had,
but
only
it
would
only
take
us
so
far.
B
We
needed
to
build
up
that
storage,
but
we
couldn't
keep
up
with
the
demand
and,
as
you
notice,
we
asked
for
people
to
conserve
water
and
as
people
conserve
water,
we
edged
a
little
bit
on
the
tanks.
Conservation,
helped
us
to
bring
up
and
be
able
to
spread
that
water
that
we
had
in
our
system
out
further.
So
it
did
help
some
customers,
but
they
it's.
They
would
have
water
from
say
in
the
morning,
but
in
the
late
afternoon
they
wouldn't
have
water.
B
B
Anywhere
from
24
to
48
hours,
and
that's
it
then
it's
over
and
then
depending
on
the
demand.
You
know
if
people
are
irrigating
and
right,
it
eats
it
up.
But
and
that's
the
other
thing
that
we
are.
Some
of
the
projects
include:
adding
more
storage,
adding
more
tanks
and
adding
more
lines
to
have
redundancy
in
the
system.
B
A
A
You
know
it.
You
replace
the
whole
pipe
without
intent.
If
you
know
that
was
going
to
happen,
you
cried.
Would
you
dug
the
whole
area
out?
But
again
I
appreciate
the
y'all's
efforts,
but
I
wish
that
we
did
a
better
pr
job
on
it.
I
think
if
you
answer
some
of
the
questions,
some
of
the
silly
questions
that
people
are
asking
it
it
takes
care
of
a
lot
of
questions.
People
have
and
in
a
lot
of
people's
minds.
A
It
was
the
ineptness
of
the
people
that
worked
for
the
city,
because
it
happened
again
whether
it
was
the
same
thing
or
not.
It
happened
again,
and
this
was
not
a
chlorine,
a
problem
but
a
pipe
problem,
and
but
the
people
still
suffer
the
same
consequence.
You
know
boiled
water
trying
to
find
water,
etcetera
and
people
get
hysterical
in
this
town
and
they
deplete
this
resource.
They
could
be
very
well.
I
bet
you,
those
houses
out.
A
B
A
I
think
every
board
member
deserves
that,
because
I
know
I'm
not
I'm
not
the
only
one
that
got
beat
up
and
so
and
yesterday
I
wanted
to
be
there,
but
I've
been
down
on
my
back,
like
I
said,
I'm
having
trouble
walking
right
now.
It's
just
something
my
muscles
in
the
back
seas
of
nothing
serious,
it's
just
part
of
old
age
and
being
overweight,
probably,
but
I'm
forcing
myself
I'm
about
two
blocks
away
from
the
from
the
office.
D
D
A
It
is
right
now,
I
believe
there
was
a
report
on
how
many
failed
answers
answering
those
calls
have
they
need
more
staff,
you
know,
so
I
don't
want
to
go
that
route
if
we
can
maybe
more
ps,
psas,
more
often
radio
stations,
people,
you
know
social
media,
my
god,
we
have
so
many
venues
that
we
can
talk
to
people
on
and
post
something
live
or
go
out
there
and
show
it.
These
guys
are
working.
A
This
is
the
attitude
and
I'm
gonna
tell
you
who
I
said:
no,
they
probably
all
were
standing
around
talking
about
the
carne
asada
and
they
weren't
even
working.
You
know-
and
I
know
I've
been
through
that
with
a
phone
company,
because
you'd
have
five
six,
seven
guys
where
we're
splicing
and
somebody
would
drive
by
says.
Why
do
you
need
so
many
guys?
Well,
because
that's
the
nature
of
the
job
and
not
everybody
can
be
doing
one
thing
at
one
time.
A
A
E
You
know
what
could
work,
mr
chairman,
like
this,
become
real
pop
or
the
digital
news
desk
at
ruben
video,
because
you
get
everybody
gets
a
you
know.
If
there's
an
emergency
yeah,
then
you
get
it.
I
mean,
that's,
become
really
popular.
It's
a
great
way
of
communication.
Everybody
has
a
phone
today
and
you'll
get
the
updates.
You
know
if
there's
an
accident
on
35
or
there's
an
emergency
you'll
get
it
and
you
can
go
to
that
and
he's
done
a
great
job.
I
mean
that
you
know
that's
something.
We
should
look
at.
A
I
mean
it's
easy,
you
push
a
button,
that's
it
click
here
and
I
think
it
would
because
I
I
I
agree
with
arturo.
This
is
not
the
last
time
I
mean
that
part
of
town
is,
you
know
it's
antiquated.
I
used
to
have
to
dig
holes
and
work
with
the
city
and
everything
else,
and
I
know
what
we
would
come
into
it.
A
A
B
I
Mr
chairman,
if
I,
if
I'm
arturo,
if
I
may
just
to
as
a
as
an
aside
to
that,
the
utilities
department
is
currently
revamping
their
website
and
as
part
of
that
website,
redesign
and
redevelopment,
there
is
a
section
there
that
will
have
a
an
outage
notification
that
if
you
go
straight
to
the
utilities
website,
it
will
show
whatever
outages
are
out
there.
Any
notices
of
those
types
of
events
will
be
posted
on
there
and
ultimately,
the
staff
will
be
able
to
grab
from
there
and
share
that
on
social
media
and
other
places.
I
Service
will
be
restored
at
such
time
for
more
information.
Go
here,
go
there
and
you'll
be
able
to
get
that.
So
that's
something
that
we've
already
been
tasked
with
and
utilities
is
currently
working
on.
I
anticipate
we're
about
30
to
45
days
max
out
before
the
new
website
is
launched
with
all
those
amenities
on
it.
A
May
I
suggest
on
that
also
that
we
create
an
app.
I
mean
every
child
that
I
know
that
can
hold
a
phone,
so
the
oldest
man
that
I
know
can
hold
a
phone
goes
to
those
apps
for
whatever
they
need
and
to
me
that
is
a
immediate
touch.
The
app
boom
there
it
is
it
takes.
You
alerts
you,
it's
just
we're
in
an
app
world
now
you
know
yeah.
I
Mr
chairman,
we
we
are
capable
of
that.
That's
not
part
of
our
scope.
Currently,
if
you
have,
for
example,
the
el
metro
transit
app,
that
is
something
that
we
built
for
el
metro,
and
so
one
of
the
beauties
of
that
is
everyone
who
downloads
that
app.
You
have
the
ability
to
send
them
notifications
and
you
can
block
those
out
by
zip
code
or
by
alphabetically,
there's
a
certain
number
of
ways
that
you
can
send
out
those
push
notifications
but
you're,
absolutely
right
with
an
app.
You
have
a
a
captive
audience.
I
A
I
G
G
G
A
A
But
you
know
we're
a
small
community
still,
but
we
were
able
to
help
a
lot
of
people
and
I'm
sure
you
all
did
the
same
things.
But
again,
thank
you
very
much
for
alertio
and
and
mike
and
gene,
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
y'all
are
working
on
that.
That's
gonna!
It's
gonna
alleviate
a
lot
of
headaches,
big
time.
A
I
A
B
H
H
H
H
This
dashboard
is
what
arturo
is
referencing,
so
we
use
this
tool
to
monitor
the
residuals
from
the
plant
and
out
into
the
distribution
system
and
with
this
tool
we
have
set
targets
for
the
operators
so
that
we
can
give
them
a
goal
like,
for
example,
you're
looking
at
a
jefferson
street
water
treatment
plant,
and
here
right
here,
we're
looking
at
the
total
chlorine
residual
leaving
the
plant,
the
gold
that
we
have
set
for
the
operators.
There
is
4.25
leaving
the
plant,
and
here
you
can
see
the
average
is
dark.
H
H
The
fluctuation
you
see
the
lighter
blue.
That
is
because
of
the
issues
they
have
in
the
plant
through
the
tree,
the
different
treatment
process
units,
but
they
have
been
able
to
manage
and
have
a
good
residual
leaving
the
plant.
We
do
the
same
for
el
pico
at
el
pico.
There
is
been
an
improvement
you
see
here.
All
these
numbers
that
you
see
here
also
are,
after
september,
1st
of
2021,
which
is
three
months
before
we
jumped
on
board.
H
H
Out
of
the
plant,
then,
once
it
leaves
the
plant,
we
also
monitor
the
the
distribution
system
and
there's
different
points
at
the
city.
We
use
33
points
on
the
distribution
system
to
monitor
the
residuals,
not
only
total
chlorine,
but
we
also
monitor
free
ammonia,
nitrites
pressure
ph
so
on
and
so
forth.
H
And
here
you
see
this
is
it's
not
real
time?
We
are
one
day
we're
working
on
making
it
real
time,
but
here
with
this
tour
right
here,
the
operators
and
the
water
treatment
plants
and
the
distribution
crews
are
able
to
pinpoint
what
areas
we
have
we're,
not
meeting
our
target
goals
for
for
total
chlorine
or
free
ammonia.
So
here
you
see
that
yesterday
we
had
a
red
flag
in
windham
terrace.
H
This
is
up
in,
I
believe,
that's
up
in
san
ysidro,
not
sure
why
it's
showing
and
free
ammonia
right
here.
You
see
that
a
red
dot
right
there,
that
red
flag
would
have
triggered
flushing
in
that
area.
So
that's
how
the
operators
use
this
tool
right.
Everything
for
the
most
part
is
in
green,
which
means
good.
H
I
don't
know
if
that's
sufficient
high
level,
I
can
go
into
further
detail.
There's
another
there's
another
area
where
we
can
track
how
we've
progressed
in
individual
sites
with
residuals
one
of
our
one
of
our
hot
spots
or
one
of
our
worst
residuals
are
up
in
highway
359,
and
you
see
how,
over
time,
through
this
work,
we've
been
able
to
have
a
more
stable
chloramine
out
into
the
extremities
of
of
our
system.
H
So
everything
is
trending
up,
we're
we're.
We
have
created
best
baselines
and
we've
adjusted,
as
you
know
as
needed,
and
ultimately
the
good
thing
is
that
we're
trending
up
correct
so
have
a
more
stable
chloramine
in
the
system.
That's
improved
our
water
quality
and
we're
seeing
positive
results
through
this
work.
A
B
I
I
I
think
they're
going
to
have
them
at
city
hall
for
the
most
part,
but
they
may
move
one
into
a
workshop
setting
at
the
library,
they're
still
kind
of
working
the
logistics
out
on
that
with
in
terms
of
audio,
I
think
they
they
have
a
concern
with
not
acoustics
but
audio
having
16
microphones
out
there,
the
last
time
they
had
a
challenge
with
that,
but
that's
the
game
plan.
Yes,
sir.
I
Yes,
right
by
monday,
I
think
it
should
be
settled.
I
mean
I
know
for
sure
that
the
dates
are
scheduled
for
the
23rd,
the
31st
and
the
6th.
The
location
is
still
up
in
the
air,
but
that
will
be
settled
by
monday
afternoon
of
my,
if
I,
if
I
understood
the
directive
correctly
from
from
mr
shellman
and
arturo
correct
after
that,
we
need
to
settle
those
by
monday.
Yes,.
A
C
The
next
just
as
a
side
note,
the
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
april
the
14th.
It's
always
the
second
thursday
of
the
month,
but
just
as
a
notation
and
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
try
to
get
staff
to
send.
You
know,
do
a
quick
phone
call
or
an
email
the
day
of
so
that
we
could
all
make
sure.
You
know
we
could
have
the
full
hour
to
discuss
stuff.
