    Sewer Treatment Plant Report

    By Brian Schan

    Sewer Plant & System

    The treatment plant has been running well. The wetter summer kept the flows higher than normal for this time of year! We were able to make it through the hurricane without any major problems. The sewer collection system was way over its capacity for several hours. We had very high flows at the sewer pump stations and the treatment plant, but were able to work through the storm. We had all generators at their locations and ready for use. Fortunately, we did not have to use them. We are now back up and running with the Return Activated Sludge pumps at the treatment plant. We moved onto a modern non- clogging pump. We are hopeful it will have longevity on the motor and wear of the impeller. A series of beams were installed so these pumps can be pulled and serviced. The old crane set-up was not adequate or safe!

     

    Water System

    The water system flows have been up! We are spending countless hours on meter readings and leak detection to try to lower the daily water flows. We have been working very hard to try to help property owners cut down on water waste. We made it through the holiday weekend with good water pressure. Thanks to all, our wells and booster pumps are running full force. We kept everything running to keep up with the high demand. We are getting ready to do our third round of SOC testing on the drinking water. This is part of the new regulations the EPA implemented on public water systems. This and other regulations are driving costs up extremely high and unfortunately will impact the budget.

    I would like to thank John Carney, and those board members and property owners who were present, for attending the water and sewer meeting at the MCH to hear the important issues at hand dealing with high water usage and the future stability of the water system in W.L.E.  A video link of the meeting is available to view on the W.L.E website!  

    The renewing of the water line insurance is now taking place.  The deadline is October 31st.

    Please see information on water usage problems in W.L.E in this issue!!

    Reminder to protect your home.  Turn off your water when leaving for more than 24 hrs.
