The District Report - Third Quarter 2011

From the desk of Dan Bourks, District Manager

We recently received notification from the State of Washington Department of Health that we are in compliance with the Disinfection By-Products (DBP) Standard. The water system is no longer showing maximum contaminant levels (MCL) of total trihalomethanes (TTHM) or haloacetic acids (HAA) that violate DBP rules. This is mainly due to the filtration plant at the Capilano Reservoir. With the new treatment it is now possible our running annual averages will fall even lower. We will continue to take regular samples and monitor the levels to ensure compliance, but as long as we are in compliance there will not have to be public notifications of those levels.

The Water Main Replacement Phase II will be going out for bid shortly and we hope to commence work in late November. We will be replacing 6000 lineal feet of water main. The District completed approximately 5000 lineal feet of water main replacement under Phase I.
