Description
CITY UTILITIES ADVISORY COMMITTEE 091621
A
Normally
we
start
going
to
our
agenda,
but
I'd
just
like
to
walk
everybody
back
I'd
like
to
introduce
myself.
We
have
some
new
faces
here
and
maybe
go
around
the
table
on
the
board,
and
then
we
can
introduce
guests.
A
And
those
that
are
here,
I
expect
the
same
thing.
This
is
not
a
political
meeting,
it's
not
about
me
it's
about
us
and
our
city
and
our
welfare
of
the
city.
I
truly
believe
in
helping
our
community
I've
been
involved
with
so
many
different
organizations,
I'll
be
75
value
next
month.
C
I
am
a

a

I
started
1970,

the
state
and
I'm

serve.
A
Also.
We
appreciate
what
you
do.
It's
not
an
easy
function
and
we
were
talking
about
that
because
of
attitude
to
people

that's
why
we're
here
to
change
united
states
in
the
city.
E
I
retired
from
juvenile
department
after
23
years
I
was
a
victims
advocate
working
with
victims,
rights
taking
300
cases
per
week,
handling
murder
cases.
They
heard
a
sexual
assault
case
or
you
name
it
right
now,
I'm
not
working
at
the

Yes,.
N
A
Pick
your
notes:
okay,
public
comments,
no
one's
making
any
sessions,
close
item,
four
water
master
plan
update.
J
Mr
chairman,
my
name
is
jimbo
minus
for
the
record
and
I'm
representing
lockwood
anderson
newman.
We
have
been
tasked
with
being
your
public
outreach
for
the
water
and
wastewater
integrated
master
plans,
working
with
the
folks
that
laugh
at
entertainment,
comrade
who's,
leading
that
project
and
hector
benjamin
who
you
mentioned
earlier
from
our
girl
on
the
way
to
waterside
the
waterside
started
about
february
of
april
concentration
about
february
april
of
2020,
not
this
year,
but
last
year
we
began
the
acquisition
of
information.
J
Previous
studies,
modeling
master
plans,
things
of
that
nature,
bringing
all
that
together
and
then
we
began
to
have
public
input.
Starting
in
february
of
last
year,
we
had
a
quick
meeting
with
caac
right
before
we
were
unable
to
have
any
more
of
those
types
of
meetings.
We
went
to
virtual
town
halls
that
started
in
june.
To
date,
we've
had
five
virtual
town
halls
and
two
hybrid
town
halls
where
we
had
both
live
folks
and
those
that
were
attending
virtually
council
members
have
been
present
at
those
meetings.
J
We've
had
a
good
attendance
on
most
of
those,
probably
the
hybrid,
the
first
hybrid
of
the
original
public
library
had
over
45
people
in
attendance.
A
total
25
were
in
person,
the
other
20
were
online.
J
You
attended
that
one
in
the
public
library
we've
had
to
date
an
open
survey
that
we
started
in
2020
in
october.
Today
we
have
over
900
respondents
758,
who
have
filled
out
the
entire
surveys.
100
question
survey
about
everything
from
customer
service
all
the
way
through
to
water
quality,
future
planning
willingness
to
pay
for
secondary
water
and
those
things
those
can
be
found
to
date
at
meridawater.org.
J
You
can
go
to
that
website
and
that
survey
is
still
live.
You
also
have
information
that
we're
currently
gathering
about
the
system
trying
to
educate
the
public
on
how
the
system
works.
All
of
the
things
all
the
various
aspects
of
the
water
and
wastewater
system.
J
We
are
currently
in
the
modeling
phase,
taking
in
as
much
information
about
the
current
active
master
plans,
future
master
plans,
both
residential
commercial
and
industrial
and
then
looking
out
into
the
future,
we're
also
looking
and
studying
at
secondary
water.
What's
available
in
the
near
proximity
as
far
and
going
out
as
far
as
valverde
county
did
it
county
to
see
if
there
are
any
interests
in
water
for
the
city
of
the
raid
on
secondary
water
there,
as
well
now.
L
Wildlife
sure
thank
you,
gene,
so
yeah.
I
won't
get
into
what
consists
of
the
wastewater
the
wastewater
master
plan,
but
I
will
go
over
what
we
we
have
done
so
far.
I
guess
where
we
are
so.
We
started,
of
course,
reviewing
the
existing
existing
facilities
for
the
city
and
evaluating
capacity
and
and
and
identify
what
what
what
needs
to
be
improved
in
the
next
50
years
right.
L
So
one
of
those
tasks
was
the
condition
asset
baseline,
which
is,
is
basically
summarizing
the
existing
focusing
on
the
linear
assets,
and,
what's
that,
what's
the
life
expectancy
of
all
those
assets,
basically
identifying
the
sectors
that
need
to
be
need
to
be
replaced,
and
when
that
is,
and
so
we
we
we
have
identified
that
we
have.
We
have.
L
We
have
maps
that
we
have
shown
at
these
of
these
town
halls
that
we've
held
where
it
shows
where
and
and
just
just
just
I
guess
it's
to
put
it
in
easy
terms.
It's
mostly
on
the
downtown
area.
That's
you
see
a
kind
of
a
you
look
at
a
heat
map
that
we
put
together.
L
That's
where
a
lot
of
those
linear
assets
have
have
been
identified
that
are
are
the
highest
priority
to
get
replaced
so
we're
we're
putting
together
our
cost
estimate,
cost
estimate
for
all
these
repairs
and
and
scheduling
in
the
next
50
years
to
be
integrated
into
the
into
the
cip
plan
for
to
carry
on
those
projects.
L
So
we
have
that
that
task
has
been
also
going
to
say,
90
completed,
because
we
have
finalized
the
wastewater
generation
for
for
for
for
the
for,
for
the
for
the
present,
but
also
for
the
next
50
years,
based
on
population
projections
and
and
how
the
how
they
tell
the
this
city
is
developing
and
and
and
growing
within
this
etj
right,
but
we're
still
pending.
L
There's
still
a
couple
items
are
pending,
so
we
can
finalize
that
task,
which
is
just
confirming
population
numbers,
current
population
numbers
I
mean
we
all
are
aware
of
the
of
the
I
guess
where
the
census
is
and
how
that's
those
numbers
are
being
are
coming
in
in
the
next
in
the
next
next
few
weeks.
L
So
we
should
be
able
to
confirm
that
where
we
are
where
our
population
projections
go
from
there,
if
we
need
to
continue
to
update
them
and
then
the
other
is
just
just
a
flow
of
monitoring,
we're
relocating
some
some
flow
meters
to
make
sure
we
capture
all
the
all
the
all
the
sanitary
flow
coming
into
the
the
existing
wastewater
treatment
plants
to
confirm
our
our
numbers
and
see
if
we
need
to
make
any
updates
to
our
wastewater
generation
projections.
L
So
again,
those
two
tasks
have
been
almost
completed:
we're
working
on
the
on
the
on
the
on
the
writing
portion
of
those
for
the
report
for
those
two
tests
and
and
and
as
well
and,
like
I
said
just
on
on
the
on
the
cip,
on
the
condition
asset
baseline,
which
is
working
on
the
cost
estimation
as
well
for
these
for
those
proposed
projects.
So
more
recently,
in
the
last
last
month,
we
transitioned
into
the
next
task,
which
is
the
the
model
update.
L
L
We
have
the
full
existing
system
in
there
and
and
we're
we're
currently
that's
currently
where
we
are
working
on
improving
the
model,
getting
it
up
to
date
and
then
we'll
go
into
very
good
model,
verification
and
analysis
and
and
and
so
we
can
carry
on
with
the
rest
of
the
tests.
So
that's
where
we
are.
L
We
have
updated
the
schedule
recently
where
we're
looking
at
finishing
our
our
efforts
by
the
end
of
the
year,
perhaps
finishing
going
into
finishing
the
draft
report
into
qfuc
and
then
first
quarter
of
next
year
we
should
have
the
report
completed,
but
as
far
as
having
some
of
the
data
over
to
the
city,
we
may
be
able
to
do
so
before
so
we're
showing
to,
at
the
end
of
the
year
have
that
information
on
as
far
as
numbers
low
in
cost
for
the
next
50
years.
Okay,.
B
Real
quick
just
to
add
to
what
gene
and
and
hector
said
a
little
bit
or
one
of
the
things
that's
different
from
this
master
plan.
Well,
both
on
the
water
and
wastewater,
is
we
master
plans.
We
typically
look
into
the
future
right.
What
we
need
to
do
as
we
grow
this
one
we're
also
taking
that
what
we
have
in
the
ground
today
and
the
investment
it's
going
to
take
to
replace
our
our
growing
pains
right
now
right,
our
linear
assets
right.
B
So
it's
going
to
be
a
significant
investment
to
replace
not
only
the
water,
but
the
wastewater,
a
lot
of
our
pipes
downtown.
He
was
referring
to
that
hector,
our
our
verdict,
high
bcp
pipe.
Some
of
it
is
not
there
anymore.
So
it's
just
we!
We
gotta
address
that
as
we
go
as
we
also
prepare
for
the
future
right
so
and
it's
just
part
of
part
of
what
we're
doing
there.
J
So,
what's
next
is
that
the
teams
will
be
completing
their
modeling,
completing
their
cost
estimation,
verifying
all
that
information,
hopefully
towards
the
tail
end
of
the
year.
At
that
point,
we
will
make
a
draft
presentation
to
city
council
city
council
through
a
workshop,
then
from
there
we'll
go
into
public
output
going
out
into
the
communities
and
showing
what
the
recommendations
are.
What
the
plans
are
not
just
like
not
just
said
for
the
next
50
years
but
immediate
stuff
as
well.
5
10,
15,
20,
30
40
50
years
out.
J
That'll
include
everything
from
capital
improvements
to
your
water
wastewater,
secondary
water,
alternative
water
sources,
emergency
water
sources.
Those
are
all
being
investigated
as
well
all
part
of
that
master
plan
that
we've
been
tasked
to
present
to
the
city
council
and
then
ultimately,
to
the
public.
So
again,
our
goal
is
to
finish
the
modeling
work.
All
the
cost
estimation
sometime
at
the
end
of
the
year
presentations
will
kind
of
cut
off
all
public
input.
O
J
Yes,
sir
yeah
and
again,
if
you
want
more
detailed
information,
all
the
members
of
the
team
are
available,
for
you
know,
for
individual
conversations,
plus
there'll
be
additional
public
input.
Meetings
that'll
be
coming
up
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
J
Obviously,
the
covid
we've
struggled
to
get
people
engaged,
we've
tried
it
through
social
media,
we've
done
hybrids
and
virtual
meetings,
but
we
need
to
get
more
people
acclimated
to
the
fact
that
we're
going
to
be
fixing
the
system
over
the
next
50
years
and
we
need
to
let
them
know
what
you
know,
what
to
expect
in
terms
of
rates
availability
so
on
and
so
forth.
D
One
thing:
if
I
may,
the
2015
master
plan
the
cip
was
for
600
million.
So
far.
I
think
we
have
spent
close
to
300
million
dollars.
I
can
tell
you
this
master
plan.
It
will
be
over
a
billion
dollars,
and
so
that
comes
with
a
cost
because
we
don't
qualify
for
any
any
kind
of
grants
or
anything.
So
it's
sale
and
those
are
part
of
the
task
of
of
the
consultant
and
council
also
asked
them
to.
Maybe
the
developers
are
not
paying
their
share,
so
they
will
come
up
with
the
impact
please.
D
A
G
N
A
J
To
your
point
and
one
of
the
questions
that
that
temples
is
where
we
were
on
raids,
yes,
we
actually,
you
know,
contrary
to
popular
belief.
We
are
not
the
most
expensive
water
in
texas.
We
are
somewhere
at
that
middle
bottom,
third,
not
at
the
very
top
where
communities
are
and
for
communities
even
larger
than
ours,
for
both
water
and
wastewater.
J
So
again,
when
you
look
at
raids,
I
think
you
need
to
look
at
what
justification
for
increasing
those
rates
and
again
we're
going
to
look
at
all
aspects.
Looking
at
developer
fees,
impact
fees
as
well
as
staging
your
capital
improvements
in
a
manner
which
affords
you
an
opportunity
to
let
those
rates
mature.
J
B
That's
only
on
the
way
on
the
way,
so
on
the
wastewater,
it's
we
have
900
miles
of
a
pipe
right
now,
300
miles
of
that
has
the
life
expectancy
of
10
years
or
less
so
from
here
to
from
here
to
waco.
B
It's
it's
a
word
to
lay
that.
So
that's
the
that's
one
again,
that's
only
on
the
on
the
wastewater
side
and
the
water
side,
you
have
all
the
other
issues,
plus
on
top,
we
have
we're
working
on
some
water
quality
investment
on
water
quality,
right
that
we're
going
to
have
to
make
so.
D
Very
short
term
yeah
and
for
general
public,
is
they
don't
understand
because
the
el
pico,
if
you
look
at
el
pico
water
plant,
cost
us
100
million
the
south
florida
waste
water
treatment
plant?
So
far
we
spend
100
and
some
million
dollars
the
manaras
we
are
about
to
build.
The
loan
is
52
million
dollars,
so
you're
talking
about
millions
of
millions
of
dollar
which
has
to
come
from
the
weight
there.
Unfortunately,
I
mean
we
are
all
gearing
very
happy
see
if
the
infrastructure
builds
goes
in.
That's
why
we're
pushing
some
projects?
D
A
A
You
probably
got
a
two
to
three
month
inventory:
put
a
house
on
the
market
right
now
for
300,
000
and
you'll
sell
it
350
cash
money,
not
the
local
money
can't
be,
but
we
as
well
don't
understand
where
to
put
the
price
because
it
doesn't
matter
what
the
price
is.
There's
a
shortage
and
the
demand
just
like
on
vehicles
right
now,
so
getting
back
to
the
water
master
plan,
salt
laredo!
A
F
It's
we
are
progressing
as
far
as
and
then
the
other
thing
that's
going
to
help
is
the
sports
complex
yeah,
because
there's
projects
that
we're
doing
to
extend
water
out
there
and
also
some
storage,
elevated
storage
things
and
also
new
boosters
that
we're
going
to
be
installing
in
that
area.
So
there
are
improvements
being
made
for
the
airplane
to
one
not
only
to
deliver
water,
but
also
to
improve
quality
of
water
circulation,
elimination
of
dead
ends-
and
that's,
I
guess,
leads
to
the
next
item.
That's
the
water
quality
assessment.
Yes,.
O
O
O
F
Thank
you
very
much.
The
water
quality
assessment
and
optimization
update.
As
you
all
know,
we
had
that
bold
water
notice
back
in
july
and
we've
addressed
some
of
the
issues
and
concerns,
but
as
part
of
that,
council
authorized
a
water
quality
assessment
and
optimization
report,
and
that
is
currently
being
done
by
arduino
and
I'll.
Just.
F
B
Real
quick:
do
you
guys
want
to
see
the
presentation
that
we
give
to
council,
or
do
you
guys
want
to
just
do
a
quick
summary,
just
quick
summary
all
right?
So
then
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
present
the
team.
So
again
not
you
know
we
were
hired
by
the
state
of
the
radar
to
assist
with
these
water
quality
issues.
Our
company
we've
worked
together.
B
We
we
we
work
with
the
city
of
corpus,
christi
deer
park,
but
there
are
other
communities
that
face
similar
issues
and
based
on
that,
based
on
that
experience,
like
I
said,
the
city
brought
us
on.
We
brought
in
a
partner
agent
sawyer.
They
also
worked
hand-in-hand
with
us
very
proactively
in
the
city
of
corpus,
and
it
was
a
you
know.
It
was
a
great
success
there.
We
brought
them
on
the
project
manager,
for
this
project
is
marcus,
niser
and
I'll.
Let
I'll
let
him
take
it
from
here.
K
Thank
you
nacho,
so
you
know
we're
taking
a
source
to
tap
approach
and
addressing
assessing
the
water
quality
in
the
distribution
system.
K
You
know
from
the
river,
through
the
water
treatment
plant
all
the
way
to
the
last
connection,
at
the
very
end
of
the
line
and
we've
done
a
water
treatment,
plant
assessment
or
both
of
them,
el,
pico
and
jefferson
street
and
come
up
with
you
know,
kind
of
the
improvements
that
are
needed
to
improve
quality
stabilize
corramination.
That
is
the
big
item
that
we're
looking
at.
You
know
this.
K
This
water
quality
event
that
occurred
was
due
to
nitrification
and
that's
associated
with
there
being
elevated
levels
of
ammonia
in
the
system
and
these
these
innocuous
bacteria
that
are
in
everybody's
water.
You
know
they
have
a
spike
in
population
and
they
basically
downgrade
your
water
quality
and
your
residual
drops
out.
K
So
that's
stable
all
the
way
to
the
end
and
simplify
you
know
the
chemical
feed
in
the
system
and
and
basically
address
the
near-term
problems
of
this
nitrification.
But
in
the
long
term,
these
improvements
that
we're
going
to
be
making
over
the
next
year
or
two
our
goal
is
to
attain
superior
water
system.
You
know
classification
by
the
state,
so
that's
the
approach
and
we're
we're
currently
working
through
it.
K
It's
been
a
very
hectic
and
fast
pace
and
kind
of
a
whirlwind
like
logan
said
since
july
26,
when
we
were
brought
on
board
by
council,
but
we've
made
we've
made
some
strides
in
assessing
and
coming
up
with,
where
the
deficiencies
are
we're
working
hand
in
hand
with
the
utility
department
operations
distribution
to
bring
things
up
up
to
speed
there
to
to
improve
water
quality.
For
you
know
all
the
residents
and
laredo,
so
that's
that's
a
thumbnail
of
what
we're
doing
logan.
O
Just
one
question:
you
guys
keep
mentioning
corpus
christi,
but
the
growth
is
real,
slow
compared
to
laredo,
like
they're,
saying
we're
going
real
fast,
so
you
are
taking
that
into
account
right.
K
Yes,
we
are-
and
you
know
the
connection
there
to
corpus-
christi
wasn't
really
with
respect
to
the
growth,
but
it
was
the
the
issue
of
the
water
quality
itself.
It's
that
nitrification
issue
and
they
had
very
similar
excursion
and
water
quality.
I
guess
in
2016
it
was
a
nitrification
event
and
we're
able
to
work
with
their
treatment
plants
and
also
with
their
storage
and
in
their
distribution
tips
system,
to
come
up
with
improvements
that
have
stabilized
that
and
address
the
the
issue
there
and
improve
water
quality
and
stabilize
it.
K
So
some
of
those
same
things
can
be
applied
because
there's
a
lot
of
similarities,
they
have
surface
water
treatment
plant
in
corpus
christi,
just
like
you
all
do
they
got
the
new
aces.
River
y'all
got
the
rio
grande,
and
you
know
the
systems
have
many
similar
aspects.
So
that's
that
was
kind
of
the
connection
there.
M
Yeah
and
I'll
just
add
that
I
believe
the
question
was
probably
coming
from
the
in
regards
to
growth,
where
that
is
really.
I
guess
an
issue
is
on
the
master
plan
so
that
that
would
be.
I
guess
we
are
talking
two
different
projects
here.
Growth
is
not
really
tied
to
the
the
water
quality
issue
that
that
we're
discussing
here,
but
it
certainly
is
tied
to
the
master
plans.
The
water
and
wastewater
products.
B
B
O
O
D
But
I
I
think
nacho
and
arturo
dr
trivino
is
here
he
was
asked
by
the
council,
so
if
you
guys
can
give
a
timeline
see
after
boil
water,
this
is
what
we
have
done
so
far
to
help
the
public
health,
because
that's
why
he
is
here.
We
want
to
know
because
I'm
sure
he's
going
to
be
asked
by
council.
So
just
tell
him
what
have
we
done
to
make
sure
the
public
health
is
never
jeopardized
so.
B
B
But
uncover
more
in
depth,
but
that's
that's
kind
of
the
approach
we
had
immediate
immediate
needs
that
needed
to
be.
You
know
addressed
for
when
we
turned
over
to
chloramine
chlorine
disinfection,
because
we
are
free
chlorine
right.
So
before
we
we
turned
over.
On
september
1st,
we
had
a
you
know,
recommendations
and
some
improvements
that
were
made
to
them
at
the
plants
and
in
the
distribution
system,
but
anyway,
so
I'll
pass
it
over.
One.
O
F
We
get
immediate
response,
not
wait,
24
hours
or
48
hours,
so
the
plan
is
being
set
up
and
it'll
be
automated
to
where
you'll
be
able
to
see
and
we'll
get
little
flags
and
triggers
where
we
have
to
go
out
there
and
respond
to
quality
issues
that
we
have,
whether
it's
low
calorie
residual
waste
and
odor
issues.
We
go
out
there.
F
D
To
do
what
was
the
sum
of
the
cause
you
have
identified?
I
know
we
went
some
of
you.
If
you
see
civil
service,
we
went
very
detailed
on
the
civil
service
because
we
had
some
disciplinary
action,
so
maybe
it
can
tell
the
community.
These
are
the
things
we
found
are
some
of
the
causes.
We
have
a
skill
council
did
hire
a
law
firm
to
look
at
it.
If
there's,
who
is
to
fall,
so
the
council
is
going
their
own
investigation,
but
what
but.
F
Just
to
give
you
a
summary
of
what,
during
the
civil
service,
one
of
the
issues
that
I
came
across
is
when
we
went
through
the
process
distribution,
our
distribution
staff.
When
we
got
notice
of
the
residuals
that
were
coming
out
whoa
we
kept
going
out
there
we
kept
flushing,
it
would
raise
up,
but
then
it
would
drop
back
down.
We
said:
where
is
it
coming
from?
What
is
it
causing
it?
Well,
when
we
went
to
monitor,
I
started
taking
analysis
of
the
pipe
as
we
get
closer
to
the
frame.
F
K
So
you
know,
we've
done,
we've
gone
through
the
treatment
plans
and
done
the
assessments
and
come
up
with
several
recommendations
and
those
are
falling
into.
You
know
about
five
different
buckets
that
we
are
using
and
we
prioritize
those
you
know
there's
over
80
recommendations
that
we
identified.
K
Some
of
those
recommendations
are
to
do
more
studies
to
to
dig
deeper
from
that
surface
level
assessment.
However,
you
know
the
first
bucket
that
we're
looking
at
are
updating
the
chemical
feed
targets
at
the
treatment
plants
and
and
modifying
dosing
locations
there,
and
also
providing
additional
training
for
operations.
So
the
main
goal
again
with
this
nitrification
issue
is
to
create
stable,
chloramines
that
you're
putting
into
the
system
and
not
allowing
additional
ammonia
to
go
out
there
and
start
that
nitrification
event
which
occurred.
K
So
that's
that's
one
bucket
and
those
are
you
know
some
of
those
those
recommendations
or
our
near-term
recommendations
that
we've
already
accomplished.
We
spent
all
week
with
tceq
and
operations.
The
week
of
september
first,
when
they
converted
back
to
corn
means-
and
we
discussed
the
new
feed
points,
the
sampling
points
and
the
triggers
that
the
operators
need
to
meet.
As
far
as
the
you
know,
the
specification
of
the
water
that
they
put
into
the
system,
so
those
were
near
term
recommendations.
K
K
One
of
the
areas
that
we're
going
to
be
studying
is
we're
studying
the
disinfection
through
the
plant,
the
ct
study
to
determine,
if
we
can
add
a
chlorine
dioxide
disinfectant
to
that
process
which
will
reduce
the
chlorine
demand
in
the
plant,
but
also
it'll.
It's
it's
an
aid
in
in
stabilizing
and
creating
stable
monochloramines
for
the
system
and
also
we're
gonna,
be
studying
the
caustic
system
to
get
it
up
and
running
again.
Caustic
allows
you
to
adjust
ph
and
there's
some
desirable
ph's
that
you
want.
K
That
also
helps
you
stabilize
the
disinfectants
and
right
now,
they're
not
able
to
increase
the
ph
because
they
don't
have
caustic
in
place
at
either
plant.
So
that's
another
study,
another
grouping
of
recommendations
that
were
following
through
on,
of
course,
when
we
have
enacted
some
of
these
improvements
and
have
collected
enough
information
from
the
new
sampling
and
monitoring
that
we're
doing.
We
want
to
trend
that
data.
K
But
ultimately
we
want
to
trend
that
data
and
profile
it
and
come
up
with
triggers
that
we
can
look
for
so
operations
can
react
quickly
and
we
put
that
into
a
nitrification
action
plan
and
they'll
be
monitoring
such
things,
as
you
know,
total
residual
out
there.
The
monochloramine
be
free,
available,
ammonia
and
nitrites
and
they'll.
K
Look
at
these
three
trigger
points
are
for
and
they'll
make
decisions
and
take
action
based
on
you
know,
if
they're,
if
they're,
getting
into
kind
of
the
danger
zone,
if
approaching
nitrification,
so
they
can
be
proactive
and
address
that
before
it
becomes
actual
nitrification
and
basically
leads
to
going
back
to
a
free
coordination
conversion,
or
you
know,
even
worse,
a
bull
water
notice
like
was
that
was
in
july
and
then
the
last
bucket
of
recommendations.
These
are
a
little
more
serious
projects
that
are
going
to
take
more
budget
and
more
time.
K
These
have
time
frames
of
one
to
two
years
and
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
there
is
to
be
able
to
to
install
chlorine
dioxide
at
the
plants.
Another
one
we're
looking
at,
which
will
require
a
study,
is
the
optimization
of
the
recycle
system
at
del
pico
water
treatment
plant,
which
looks
like
it
could
improve
water
quality
through
that
plant.
K
So
those
those
that's
just
a
sampling
of
some
of
the
types
of
recommendations
and
timetables
that
we
have
so
we
prioritize
those
we
have
some
that
are
near-term,
that
we've
already
accomplished,
but
we
can
accomplish
in
the
weeks
ahead.
Then
we
have
other
ones
that
are
four
to
six
months
out
like
these
additional
online
analyzers
to
monitor
water
quality,
and
then
we
have
the
one
to
two
year:
capital
improvement
projects
that
are
eventually
going
to
give
us.
Probably
you
know
closer
to
that
superior
water
system
classification.
K
O
Well,
the
only
question
I
have
is
that
you
guys
are
very
educated.
What
you're
talking
about
I'm,
not
it's
kind
of
hard
to
report
to
the
city
council
member.
What
you
guys
doing
so
all
I
would
like
to
have
is
for
us
is
the
scheduling,
we're
hitting
the
targets
and
what
each
target's
gonna
it's
gonna
benefit
us
in
the
city,
because
to
tell
them
everything
that
you
tell
them
right
now:
it's
not
gonna.
A
It's
not
good
for
us,
I
mean
I
would
I
was
going
to
recommend
that
we
get
really
digest
all
the
board
members
that
we
can
see
with
our
councilman
and
go
through
that.
O
F
Mouth
will
include
the
targets
met,
that's
both.
C
A
G
A
That's
what
I
would
like
to
bring
up
to
the
board
is
that
we
can't
have
a
forum
with
a
city
council
member.
So
if
somebody
wants
to
invite
somebody
that
staff
know-
and
I
think
I
invited
my
councilman
one
time-
he
was
very
positive
and
then
cope
again.
So
we
need
I'd
like
to
do
that
to
bring
one
one
or
two
councilman
to
our
meetings.
A
So
you
know
let
people
know
if
yours
wants
to
come
and
get
an
idea
of
what
we
do,
because
ultimately
we're
going
to
need
their
support
for
any
recommendations
we
make.
We
need
to
get
their
support
and
if
they
don't
get
the
full
skinny
on
it,
then
they'll
be
kind
of
apprehensive
and
at
the
table
at
the
table,
and
then
we
don't
have
no
power
and
we
we
don't.
We
don't
advance
ourselves.
What
we're
trying
to
do.
A
I
think
everybody
here
has
a
a
good
understanding
of
why
we're
here
and
that's
to
promote
the
city
right
and
but
we
can't
do
it
ourselves.
We
need
the
consonants
to
support
it.
O
That's
what
I'm
saying
is
we
heard
these
guys?
These
are
their
milestones.
E
J
For
the
appointees,
their
council
members
are
receiving
updates
in
their
friday
packs
that
come
out
from
the
team
and
again
that
we
try
to
make
those
as
layman
term
as
possible
for
them
to
understand.
Obviously,
not
all
of
our
engineers
have
marcuses
and
logan's
and
everyone's
depth
of
knowledge,
but
we
try
to
make
those
as
simple
as
possible
for
folks
for
the
for
the
common
individual
to
understand
it.
Like
myself,
I'm
not
an
engineer.
J
So
when
I'm
producing
these
items
for
the
council
members,
it's
it's
so
that
I
could
read
them
and
understand,
what's
being
done
at
the,
I
think
at
the
council,
at
the
plant
level
and
at
the
distribution
side,
so
they
are
getting
those.
But
what
we
might
do
at
your
at
your
request.
We
might
send
them
to
the
committee
members
as
well,
so
you
guys
can
have
them.
J
A
Okay,
I'd
like
that
one
more
thing
under
the
water
quality
and
give
you
all
the
youth
coordinators,
an
idea
what
has
been
inspired
in
the
past.
I
guess
two
and
a
half
three
years
we
were
actually
joined
to
be
the
secondary
workforce
committee
and
I
bring
this
up
because
if
any
board
member
is
has
a
disorder,
this
content
of,
what's
going
on
here,
don't
run
the
city
council
with
it.
Please
bring
it
to
this
board.
Let
us
hash
it
out.
A
I
appreciate
all
your
questions
believe
me
and
we
don't
need
to
sit
here
on
like
stump
on
a
law.
I
mean
the
bump
in
the
law
because
we
need
to
be
informed,
but
we
had
a
board
member
that
ran
to
the
city
council
and
had
us
not
be
able
to
talk
about
secondary
water
source
because
he
had
a
red
blood
about
it
and
he
didn't.
He
didn't
like
what
we
were
doing
or
he
wanted
to
be
able
to
show
some
problems.
A
So
they
changed
it
to
what
the
utility
commission,
which
is
better,
because
nothing
can
talk
about
all
of
it
before
we
were
just
here
to
talk
about
water
and
the
secondary
water
source,
and
that
was
it
not
new
subdivision
or
anything
else.
So
now,
we've
got
a
little
bit
more
power
than
we
had
before.
Now
I
want
to
thank
thank
you,
but
he
didn't
even
realize
what
I
was
thinking.
A
We
need
to
be
united
in
what
we
do
all
right
and
the
reason
we
need
to
be
united,
because
we
need
our
consonants
hope
to
pass
the
things
that
we
want
to
have
and
we're
not
united,
and
one
of
us
runs
over
there
and
gets
something
changed
or
that
we
can't
speak
about
you've
just
destroyed
for
all
the
time
we
spent
and
I've
been
here
because
nobody's
voted
me
out.
G
A
To
run
a
clean
meeting
right
now,
we're
kind
of
stepping
through
this
it's
our
first
meeting,
but
if
you
have
an
issue
that
needs
to
be
brought
up,
bring
it
to
the
staff
and
staff
will
put
in
the
agenda
and
then
we
can
speak
freely
with
and
we
may
have
to
make
a
motion
and
vote
on
anything
else.
It's
not
on
the
agenda,
so
we
can
talk
about
it
all
we
want
and
then
we
can't
hold
on
all
right,
robert's
rule
of
water
applied
here
very
much
so
and
we
do
need
a
quorum.
A
So
I
know
the
step.
Can
you
be
here
this
day?
Could
you
be
here
that
day
and
that's
very
difficult,
because
if
I
know
that
our
meetings
are
second
tuesday,
wednesday
or
whatever
it
is
of
the
week
of
every
month,
then
I
I
can
schedule
myself,
but
when
all
of
us
have
a
different
schedule
and
we
can
adhere
to
one
date,
then
staff
has
it's
the
whirlwind.
Why?
Because
I
can't
make
it
I'm
going
out
of
town.
I
went
on
vacation
or
you
know
my
grandkids
came
in
I'm
going
to
be
with
them.
A
F
C
I'd
like
to
put
in
my
two
cents.
A
A
A
A
F
Can
be
recognized
dr
clarino
is
here
regarding
the
optimization
and
water
quality
assessment;
okay,
something
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
bring
out
against
meeting
issues.
Q
Or
concerns
you
may
have
yes,
I
think
it
was
a
good
idea
for
you
to
say
that
we
need
to
look
at
the
milestones.
We
also
need
to
have
that
report
because
we
can't
explain
everything.
That's
been
explained
here.
We
have
to
know
what
what
the
items
are
and
when
we
had.
We
are
asked
at
the
city
council,
where
you
need
to
know
exactly
what
was
discussed
and
what's
being
worked
out,
so
we
can
have
a
list
of
those
milestones.
You're
going
to
have
that'll
be
great
for
us
and
we
deal
with
covet.
Q
We
deal
with
infection,
that's
what
we
do,
but
it
is
part
of
the
health
authority
role
to
look
at
water
quality
and
assist
if
possible.
Of
course,
we
have
to
look
at
the
end
result
of
what
water
quality
does.
If
there's
outbreaks
of
contamination
and
disease
we
have
to
be
on
top
of
that,
so
the
health
department,
myself
actually
look
at
the
end
result,
but
we
can
know,
what's
going
on
to
see
if
there's
anything
that
we
can
help.
O
Do
we
have
an
emergency
plan
in
case
that
does
happen?
That's
one
thing
I
like
in
case
there's
a
spillage
in
real
life,
no
water,
how
much
water
do
you
have
left
and
what
is
the
plan
that
I
don't
know
we
have
that
in
place.
We've.
O
J
Have,
mr
chairman,
if
I've
made
as
part
of
the
50-year
integrated
water
wastewater
master
plan,
that
is
one
of
the
items
that's
being
considered,
not
just
secondary
water,
which
is
a
long
term.
Where
do
you
get
additional
water
to
supplement
what
you
have
on
the
grill
grounded,
but
an
emergency
water
source?
What
happens
if
the
rio
grande
is
contaminated
and
I
need
to
produce
water?
How
much
water
do
you
have?
How
long
will
it
last
if
we
do
rationing?
How
long
will
that
go
out?
A
In
place,
association
is
updating
that
we
have
brilliant
minds
at
the
federal
and
state
levels
where
they
make
all
hazmat
go
above
our
water
source
right.
So
maybe
we
start
working
pushing
the
council
to
build
that
bridge
further
south
and
pass
all
the
hazmat
that
way,
but
again
yeah.
It's
like
walking
around
with
a
hand
grenade,
hope
somebody
don't
pull
the
pin,
but
what
I'm
getting
at
is
that
we
all
have
ideas.
I
know
my
friend
always
has
good
ideas
here.
A
You
know
second,
after
year
for
alex,
but
thank
you
what
what
I
really
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
on
the
same
page
period,
all
right.
We
can't
walk
out
here
going.
I
didn't
do
what
I
wanted,
because
it's
not
what
I
want
it's.
What
this
community
needs
all
right
actually
want
cheaper
rates,
but
I'm
not
going
to
get
them.
You
know,
don't
spend
so
much
water
but
bottom
line.
A
I
appreciate
you
guys
being
here,
dr
richard
you.
I
know
we
see
you.
A
I
was
asked
already
what
what
are
you
going
in
there?
You
don't
do
nothing
and
I
go
gloves
or
seem
to
be
rolling,
then
cope
with
it,
and
then
we
couldn't
get
out
of
house
because
we
didn't
want
to
die
but
give
us
a
chance
to
get
restarted,
and
I
know
that
the
city
continues
to
improve.
They
keep
continuing
doing
what
they
have
to
do
to
provide
us
potable
water
bottom
line
and
so
but
yeah.
A
P
P
The
antimicrobial
bacterial
world
of
resistance
is
just
something
that
my
mind
comes
to,
because
superbugs
are
something
that
are
being
created,
of
course,
within
our
hospital
structures,
but
then
also
that
goes
into
our
water
supply
and
then,
of
course,
overall
how
that
is
going
to
be
affected
in
the
long
run
as
we
keep
the
current
the
current
infrastructure
that
we
do
have,
of
course,
there's
always
multiple
others,
but
that
was
just
something
that
I
was
thinking
in
the
moderator.
C
C
A
Alex
is
always
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
optimize
the
use
of
water
and
he's
got
a
very
valid
point.
We
were
talking
about
a
while
ago.
Drip
irrigation,
especially
if
your
pipes
are
on
the
ground,
you're,
never
losing
very
little
to
preparation
compared
to
strength,
resistance
and
running
down
the
road
I
jog
every
day.
You
think
it
would
rain
every
day
because
I
run
through
water,
but
the
bottom
line
is
he's
got
some
very
good.
A
C
Gatorade
used
2.7
million
gallons
of
water.
A
Then
we
can't
build
lines
all
right,
so
we're
in
the
water
selling
business.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
a
better
profit
at
it.
Okay,
maybe
that's
not
the
way.
We
should
say
it
right
right
so
that
we're
not
we're
not
here
to
say
no,
no,
we
don't
want
you
to
use
water,
don't
lose
it!
Mr
chairman,.
A
G
A
A
H
Yeah
I'll
see
you,
I
see
you
ready
to
blow
up.
We
had
we
had
just
reported
to
council.
This
was
through.
They
had
asked
to
look
at
irrigation
and
constant
water
conservation
and
particularly
identify
the
industrial
areas
and
see
driven
by
a
few
of
them.
There's
some
very
nice
saint
augustine
grass
out
there
in
a
few
of
those
places
we
looked
at,
who
was
using
the
most
amount
of
water
and
those
places
we
almost
and
some
of
them.
H
We
almost
want
them
to
have
the
water
for
free,
because
it's
in
low
consumption
areas,
if
they
don't
use
it,
I
have
to
flush
the
water
yeah.
So
you
have
to
kind
of
balance
this.
Where
do
I
want
to
have
conservation?
H
It
may
not
be
where
you
think
and
to
your
point,
about
having
water
conservation
or
irrigation
the
the
environmental
committee
you
know,
thought
about:
well,
maybe
irrigation
rates
would
should
be
higher
and
that
would
get
water
conservation
and
force
better
ideas.
You
know,
but
some
areas
we've
talked
about
we're
going
to
ask
a
homeowner.
H
A
The
stream
now,
let's
go
in
there,
because
the
problem
that
we
have
a
lot
of
these
places
is
the
water
stops
here
and
there's
no
flow
because
of
people
can't
afford
water
and
we
go
out
there
and
I've
seen
the
water
not
run
down
the
road.
You
know
run
down
the
road
all
day
to
flush
that
line
out
because
the
people
are
not
using
that
water.
So
it's
got
to
be
a
happy.
C
Medium
there,
so
in
this
case,
water
conservation
comes
after
big
bucks
yeah.
You
know.
C
C
A
A
Okay,
we'll
get
a
presentation
going
on
on
milestones
and
everything
else
and
what
we're
doing
what's
been
accomplished
in
a
year
and
a
half
we
haven't
been
here
for
a
year
really
a
little
over
a
year
we
haven't
been,
but
the
bottom
line
is
anything
that
maybe
your
councilman
wants
to
talk
about
call
staff
and
you'll
put
on
the
agenda
and.
