This is, you know, we've been trying to be as good as we can in conservative, 81 00:06:59,710 --> 00:07:04,870 but we are at that point and the superintendent feels that this is a definite, this mandatory 82 00:07:04,870 --> 00:07:11,310 level three conservation is in necessity. And so if you have any questions as to why, 83 00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:17,270 have any questions about our water resources, our supplies? How we judge this? How we make those 84 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:22,570 terminations, please ask those questions, attend meetings, contact somebody from the water 85 00:07:22,570 --> 00:07:23,230 district. 86 00:07:25,810 --> 00:07:26,190 That's it. 87 00:07:26,410 --> 00:07:26,670 Thank you. 88 00:07:26,910 --> 00:07:28,650 Thank you. 89 00:07:28,650 --> 00:07:29,970 like the voice therapy in on it. 90 00:07:33,570 --> 00:07:40,590 Okay, I think that's all I have. That we can move on to staff reports, 91 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:43,580 Trevor. 92 00:07:47,850 --> 00:07:56,270 Good evening. July was a busy month for the district, resulting in tighter operating activity than previous months. 93 00:07:56,710 --> 00:08:05,970 The district generated approximately 299,000 in operating revenue while recording approximately $450,000 in operating expenses. 94 00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:14,930 year-to-day operating revenue of 2.55 million with an approximate 2.52 million in 95 00:08:14,930 --> 00:08:21,850 expenses, which is 55 percent of the annual budget. Take that number, including 96 00:08:21,850 --> 00:08:26,650 interest, leases and other miscellaneous income, the total revenue is approximately 2.66 97 00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:32,110 million, or 57 percent of the annual budget. Our residential and commercial 98 00:08:32,110 --> 00:08:37,230 The revenues still remain very strong, both running approximately 4% above the same period 99 00:08:37,230 --> 00:08:42,870 last year, and the primary revenue pressure continues to be government sales, which are approximately 100 00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:45,130 9% below last year. 101 00:08:45,830 --> 00:08:51,730 The district's capital program continues to be a significant component of the overall cash activity 102 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:52,950 year to date. 103 00:08:52,950 --> 00:08:56,930 Construction and progress expenditures are approximately $2 million. 104 00:08:56,930 --> 00:09:02,330 dollars, these reflect planned investments in district infrastructure rather than increasing 105 00:09:02,330 --> 00:09:04,370 in routine operating costs. 106 00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:11,030 Disbursements for the month of July, approximately 610,000 significant portion related to 107 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:16,810 that planned capital and infrastructure work were looking at a big bill for 180,000 right 108 00:09:16,810 --> 00:09:23,850 peers work on good one and Lyndon Way for about 90,000 and a big software subscription 109 00:09:23,850 --> 00:09:26,950 and that was due this month making up more than half of that total. 110 00:09:27,830 --> 00:09:34,510 The district currently has approximately 1.6 million in cash in investments and 11.18 million 111 00:09:34,510 --> 00:09:40,110 in un-designated net worth representing an increase of 4% from the same period last year. 112 00:09:40,950 --> 00:09:45,590 Overall, July was a tighter operating month due in part to the district's ongoing capital 113 00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:47,110 and infrastructure activity. 114 00:09:47,530 --> 00:09:52,350 However, the district remains financially stable with solid residential and commercial 115 00:09:52,350 --> 00:09:57,450 revenue, strong position, and continued investment in our critical infrastructures. 116 00:09:58,670 --> 00:10:02,110 So all in all, we're looking pretty good, may anyone have any questions? 117 00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:04,010 Oh, so I was like we're doing well. 118 00:10:04,270 --> 00:10:05,050 Trevor, thank you very much. 119 00:10:05,270 --> 00:10:05,490 Thank you, Trevor. 120 00:10:06,050 --> 00:10:06,730 Thank you. 121 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:12,300 Okay. 122 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,760 Monthly operating report. 123 00:10:17,900 --> 00:10:24,700 The plan is produced a flow of 87 million, 913,000 gallons for the month of July. 124 00:10:24,700 --> 00:10:35,960 So, just to give everyone perspective when we're talking water conservation and what type of water and gallons that are produced 87 million are being produced in each month in the summer. 125 00:10:36,780 --> 00:10:44,620 So, that's a lot of water to be using in the summer and historically our high flow season is in the winter. 126 00:10:45,740 --> 00:10:56,140 So, this equates to 7,325,000 gallons more than produced in June 2026, possibly due to one 127 00:10:56,140 --> 00:11:01,320 of the large water breaks that we had over the course of this month with one of our customers. 128 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:09,780 And that equates to 4,548,000 gallons more than was produced last July. 129 00:11:09,780 --> 00:11:16,660 there were no violations this month. Would you like me to continue? Would you please this is a 130 00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:17,960 superintendent. Okay. 131 00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:24,860 Portsmouth Naval Shipyard revenue. The revenue from Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for July 132 00:11:24,860 --> 00:11:35,020 2026 for this month was 155,318 dollars and 80 cents. This equates to $8,044 and 40 cents 133 00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:42,860 more than last month June, and this is 36,199 and 80 cents more than last year in July. 134 00:11:44,300 --> 00:11:51,440 So there's a good example of how much more water was used just by one entity from one year 135 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:52,040 to the next. 136 00:11:54,980 --> 00:11:56,900 Should I continue into my report? 137 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Yes, please. Okay. So again, since I'll kind of dive in, I'll probably dive into conservation 138 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:11,380 in points, as you have alluded to, Mike, why are we doing this? Well, I'm about to tell you why. 139 00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:22,160 At, as of August 13, Bolter Pond is down two feet, three inches. It was only down ten inches, 140 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:29,220 last month, so we lost almost two additional feet and Bolter Pond. But remember that our Bell Marsh 141 00:12:29,220 --> 00:12:33,860 reservoir feeds into that a little bit, and I think we have that a little bit open right now, 142 00:12:33,860 --> 00:12:40,720 And you can see that bell marsh is 10 feet, 9 and 1.5 inches down, so it came down 6 inches. 143 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,820 So we're starting to bleed a little over to Bolter. 144 00:12:44,740 --> 00:12:50,060 The real thing that started to tip me off and started making us think about water conservation 145 00:12:50,060 --> 00:12:56,320 as middle pond is down 12 feet. That went down an additional 5 feet in one month. 146 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:03,740 Wow, and folly pond is only down two feet, and that can get as low as 7 to 9 feet 147 00:13:03,740 --> 00:13:08,800 as last year, but we're holding it back, and we just started to open it up. 148 00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:15,360 So folly pond actually feeds middle pond, so for all you people at home, some of these 149 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,140 numbers don't look bad, but we are going to see folly pond next month probably down in additional 150 00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:24,300 few feet by the time we start filling middle pond back up. 151 00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:40,280 So these numbers for Middle Pond and Bell Marsh Reservoir were numbers we were starting to approach and see last November and December when we've already had a few months of our high flow season and we're already here now. 152 00:13:41,380 --> 00:13:43,880 I do not see any additional rain in the forecast. 153 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,280 I'm not a meteorologist. I can't predict the rain. 154 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,780 But I try to look at what they show me online, 155 00:13:50,260 --> 00:13:53,380 and I look out, try to be a 10, 20-day look out, 156 00:13:53,680 --> 00:13:57,980 and I don't see much, or anything that they say is coming. 157 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:02,540 It seems to by the time the weatherman starts to give me my three-day outlook. 158 00:14:03,020 --> 00:14:05,640 It's somehow either splits, dries up, goes around, 159 00:14:05,780 --> 00:14:07,080 catering, and doesn't doesn't ring. 160 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:11,780 Or we get this little 15-minute hour little downpour 161 00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:14,360 that those don't amount to anything. 162 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:20,720 I think, in just the way everyone knows at home, we're working on master plans, we're trying 163 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:27,620 to update some of our hydraulic models in all, and as part of this, we're trying to 164 00:14:27,620 --> 00:14:34,600 make sure that we're having enough water in the ponds to be able to meet the customer 165 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,160 demand right now. 166 00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:41,860 So we're looking into all those studies and trying to, you know, come up with the right 167 00:14:41,860 --> 00:14:45,380 for how the district will need to proceed in the future. 168 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,300 So I just want people to know we have invested some money 169 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:51,660 in some of these long-term approaches for the district 170 00:14:51,660 --> 00:14:55,960 and seeing these pond levels the way they are currently. 171 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,960 It just made sense to start going into concept. 172 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:07,320 Now, before we get into a high flow season and have no water to meet everybody's demand through the winter. 173 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,820 There'll be more, I'll come up a back-around as I start to talk, conservation more. 174 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,280 Let's service line inventory. We have been during door knockers. 175 00:15:18,660 --> 00:15:26,120 So last month, I gave you a number that we were able to reduce, where we were able to reduce from 620 down to 575 over the course of this month. 176 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:32,880 So, again, that's, that's customers allowing us in to check their basements and not having to do the physical 177 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,640 potholeing at this time. 178 00:15:36,950 --> 00:15:41,830 At the treatment plant, the contractors have been there at the treatment plant and stalling condoets and wiring. 179 00:15:41,830 --> 00:15:44,290 We've been updating our secure cyber security. 180 00:15:44,950 --> 00:15:54,850 We have new ways to access the system in a secure way, more secure than we had before. 181 00:15:54,850 --> 00:16:12,030 The other way was secure, but now we have even another way to get in where it's very secure, and everyone has their own login, and there's no longer personal devices being used to access this. 182 00:16:14,370 --> 00:16:16,410 It's been a great investment. 183 00:16:16,610 --> 00:16:20,030 Another investment, the U-Trusties were backed. 184 00:16:20,590 --> 00:16:23,310 I mean, we're talking a $160,000, 185 00:16:23,530 --> 00:16:25,730 we're investing in our cybersecurity right now. 186 00:16:25,810 --> 00:16:27,790 And all of it is starting to come to life. 187 00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:30,270 And we're pretty happy with some of the results 188 00:16:30,270 --> 00:16:32,270 that are coming out of it. 189 00:16:32,450 --> 00:16:33,110 Good to do, thanks. 190 00:16:33,810 --> 00:16:35,290 And in light of everything going on, 191 00:16:35,570 --> 00:16:37,930 we get flooded, at least once a week, 192 00:16:37,930 --> 00:16:44,770 If not multiple times a week, we're getting announcements from the drinking water programs, 193 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:50,770 or the C-Siscivic Security wing, and just everyone trying to tell all districts, all 194 00:16:50,770 --> 00:16:57,190 water utilities, and sewer utilities to be just be vigilant about protecting your systems 195 00:16:57,190 --> 00:16:57,950 right now. 196 00:16:58,910 --> 00:17:02,670 So we were a little ahead of that curve, but very thankful that we were already making 197 00:17:02,670 --> 00:17:03,170 investment. 198 00:17:05,830 --> 00:17:12,350 We're working on an Elliott tank. The Elliott tank has a little issue going on 199 00:17:12,350 --> 00:17:20,010 with it but we're on top of it. It's having a chlorine residual problem but we're working 200 00:17:20,010 --> 00:17:24,950 on it. We've taken bacteria samples. All those samples are coming back positive. We've met 201 00:17:24,950 --> 00:17:30,930 our state samples so I don't want to alarm anyone but you're going to see I do have an additional 202 00:17:30,930 --> 00:17:36,890 quote tonight for a tank cleaning process because I think that's the only way we're going to 203 00:17:36,890 --> 00:17:42,210 get out of this and I'll explain that more as I get to it. But know that we've been talking 204 00:17:42,210 --> 00:17:46,610 to the drinking water program and inspectors keeping everyone informed of what we're doing, 205 00:17:47,530 --> 00:17:52,790 everyone is okay with our plans that we've been trying to do, so we're working through a little 206 00:17:52,790 --> 00:17:59,990 problem with one of our tanks. And it's funny because we were one way from conducting tank evaluations, 207 00:17:59,990 --> 00:18:07,370 you guys approved, where you'll be approving tonight, tank evaluations, and they're coming in Friday 208 00:18:07,370 --> 00:18:13,290 to do this work to start checking chlorine residuals at different depths of the tanks. So it was 209 00:18:13,290 --> 00:18:19,710 something I didn't, I wanted to do even before this problem reared its head, but things happen 210 00:18:19,710 --> 00:18:25,370 for mysterious ways. The timing is great. So on Friday we're going to start to learn more about our 211 00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:32,590 and then I'll speak to more of it as I get into some of the quotes for you guys to approve later. 212 00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:37,710 The water meter exchange. It seems to have slowed down a bit. 213 00:18:38,250 --> 00:18:43,710 We're hitting that little bit of the wall of the last 1500 or so customers. 214 00:18:44,570 --> 00:18:49,830 It could be not exactly right on my numbers, but we're hitting that last customers 215 00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:54,970 that I've already had their second letters, so now how do we try to reach out to these last 216 00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:55,590 folks? 217 00:18:56,490 --> 00:19:01,090 I've kind of instructed that, though, I think they were on vacation and there's some 218 00:19:01,090 --> 00:19:04,970 staff had some vacations and stuff, so I think there was a little quiet recently. 219 00:19:05,770 --> 00:19:12,630 But we're trying to give everyone a third notice out of the whole group. 220 00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:16,910 Doesn't matter where you are in town, we just want to get everyone a third notice to try to get 221 00:19:16,910 --> 00:19:23,490 another bulk of the folks to replace the meter, but we don't want to get into shutting 222 00:19:23,490 --> 00:19:28,770 people's water off, but we are at the point of needing to replace meters. 223 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:36,790 There are some customers that are still a little reluctant and know that we're taking 224 00:19:36,790 --> 00:19:43,190 the proper steps to make sure that we're following all of the room and making sure with 225 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:48,990 our council that we're prepared for anything that crops up. 226 00:19:50,050 --> 00:19:57,090 As of this afternoon, we have 3,799 meters in stall with eight pending appointments. 227 00:19:57,090 --> 00:20:01,790 I think that's because they're getting ready to craft that letter and do a bulk mail. 228 00:20:02,410 --> 00:20:09,070 But that equates to 69% of the project completion when we scheduled for two years. 229 00:20:09,070 --> 00:20:13,650 So we have till June, so we're a little ahead of schedule, but you know, this is, we all know 230 00:20:13,650 --> 00:20:15,830 that the end was going to be the hardest part. 231 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:20,040 P1080. 232 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,620 Plans are 100%. 233 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,880 Thank you for coming to the agreement to sign the programmatic agreement. 234 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:37,820 That is really just the historical and archaeological items that as you're excavating in the 235 00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:45,000 some sensitive areas, you would stop, halt work, write some reports about what you found, 236 00:20:45,540 --> 00:20:51,780 pass it on to the folks at Shippo, which is the State Historical Program. And it's basically 237 00:20:51,780 --> 00:20:57,960 an agreement that, I think, anyone that's near sensitive areas would have to do. It's 238 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:03,460 the environmental review part of things. So I feel comfortable and confident that if 239 00:21:03,460 --> 00:21:09,580 like signs it, it's okay. It's really, it's kind of stating that we'd have to have archaeologists 240 00:21:09,580 --> 00:21:15,680 near the sensitive areas like going past the graveyards on Roger Road. So they'll be an archaeologist 241 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,720 kind of standing there watching. And so there was just making sure that all their, you know, teas were 242 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:26,940 crossed as you start to get into government funding and environmental reviews. We've discussed a reserve 243 00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:36,740 capacity. I've sent back comments back to the Navy. Reserve capacity is an agreement that 244 00:21:36,740 --> 00:21:42,580 shipyard wants to do with us, but I think right now you guys are waiting to hear back 245 00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:48,460 about our comments and you guys have your own concerns that we want to compile together 246 00:21:48,460 --> 00:21:54,140 and have a meeting with them. So we'll start working on that now that everyone has passed 247 00:21:54,140 --> 00:21:59,200 the concerns to the chair and we'll start working on figuring out a meeting time. 248 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:07,740 Unfortunately, at this last sentence is they found during their PCB remediation study, 249 00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:15,500 you folks passed a $95,000 or a denim to the P-1080 contract and that was to start looking 250 00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:21,280 at PCBs in the coatings of the walls and then obviously some of the paint which was the 251 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:29,960 interior next year. Well, you know, our consultant said, well, I thought they would have tested for that or saw that. 252 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:39,240 When they were looking for the lead that they did on the paint, but long, long, long story short, PCBs are found in the exterior interior paint of the walls. 253 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,800 And that was talking. 254 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,580 The treatment plant. 255 00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:55,300 Yeah, the current treatment plant right now has PCBs in the paint, because it was before a 1975 rule that eliminated or ruled them out. 256 00:22:55,300 --> 00:22:59,760 That is the walls of the building, a walls of tanks. 257 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,420 These are walls of the building and tanks. 258 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:11,100 It's on every where that is currently the building. 259 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:12,700 So there is red and green. 260 00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:17,720 So green is interior red is exterior, but it was found just about everywhere. 261 00:23:19,100 --> 00:23:24,300 Our consultant is starting to talk to the Navy about 262 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:32,680 What do we do in what's the remediation and I think he's starting to talk to consultants to see what what it would take to remediate 263 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,500 You know, I don't know if the thing goes into a dust and you know and to a 264 00:23:37,060 --> 00:23:43,960 Half-solution is their positive air flow. Don't know so more to come on this, but 265 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,600 Yeah, that's kind of 266 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:53,160 I'm not sure how this is going to be handled as you're trying to build a new building around something that's going to have to possibly be encapsulated 267 00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:04,480 The main is for P-1080, plans are at 100%, I believe the Navy is starting to look for proposals 268 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,960 and we didn't know they were kind of ready for that. 269 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:14,120 So our consultants are going to probably start putting out bids for a couple of the projects 270 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:20,140 so I think it would be the gate to work and potentially the treatment plant work. 271 00:24:20,140 --> 00:24:31,740 Our consultant was waiting for the go ahead because they can't really start asking for bids if they're not going to be approved and funded by the proper channels here. 272 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:45,320 So they were kind of waiting for this go ahead so I think we're going to start getting our contracts out there hopefully for some bids may be returned by late September, maybe awarding them in October. 273 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:52,880 So things will be moving forward, so yeah, we'll probably have to start meeting with the Navy soon in the Navy. 274 00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:58,900 Water main replacement. 275 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,200 The Fastiano Enterprise has started on Dunlia Ave. 276 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,360 I think it's a little bit slower of a project. 277 00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:09,560 I think they hit ledge here and there. 278 00:25:10,140 --> 00:25:12,340 But this is a time and materials project. 279 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:20,080 As slow as I feel they might be going, or maybe not going as fast, there's some consistent 280 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:26,040 fee making headway each day, happy with that, and the bills aren't kind of, I don't feel 281 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:30,840 there too reflective of, you know, Lally gagging, let's say, you know what I mean, I feel 282 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,260 like they're doing work and I'm getting build for the work that's being conducted. 283 00:25:36,420 --> 00:25:43,880 The overground customers, KWD will need to inspect the water line connections for the well and district water. 284 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,600 We've been doing a couple cross connections. 285 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:52,600 And I'd just like to say if the well and the district's water connections are not completely separated, 286 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,700 then some repairs will need to be made. 287 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,140 That is my, hopefully if there's anyone out on the island and looking at this, 288 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:00,940 we have looked at a couple. 289 00:26:02,900 --> 00:26:08,060 and they're absolutely not the right set up and I don't need to go into it but 290 00:26:08,060 --> 00:26:15,960 there's way too much cross-connection potential we I will be sending out a 291 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:20,380 reminder letter and as much as people want to tell me what you're doing we are 292 00:26:20,380 --> 00:26:25,340 I need to physically see it because Danny has went to one and it was pretty 293 00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:29,600 apparent that oh we do this and we do that and we do this and we do that and I 294 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:38,780 what so um they're and he he holds his ground and he tells him why and explains what the 295 00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:47,220 hazard is and they they get it so yeah and it it's a complete and you have to physically 296 00:26:47,220 --> 00:26:53,060 remove one to put one the other but these there's folks out there that are mixing which use 297 00:26:53,060 --> 00:27:01,480 they do because they have plumbing that's connected that is not good so we are working on 298 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,320 working with the customers educating them why and Danny has done a fantastic job going out there 299 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:12,400 and he holds his ground and he's polite and explains it to him so I want to let you know we're not 300 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:19,400 done out there and this was a good good of you to tell us and push us Jim to make sure that we 301 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:24,700 on top of this. I was supposed to do this more in August, or July August, so I'm slipping 302 00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:30,460 my schedule, but I want to get there definitely before everyone turns their water off and goes away 303 00:27:30,460 --> 00:27:31,060 for the season. 304 00:27:33,500 --> 00:27:42,160 So, Mordecaum, want to let you know that had another employee go after their license, 305 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,860 Danny Vito has taken the test and passed his grade two drinking water distribution license. 306 00:27:49,220 --> 00:27:55,740 Oh, the staff is starting to try to find time for themselves. 307 00:27:55,940 --> 00:28:00,660 They try to go take these tests, and I think some people are getting ready to, at least 308 00:28:00,660 --> 00:28:05,440 just try it, because I keep trying to tell them, don't worry about failing, it's not 309 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,220 it's not that way, I just want you to start learning and getting a depth to the questions, 310 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,720 and then we'll get you passing, but just you'll try it. 311 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,260 So I think everyone's willing to start doing that, it's working out. 312 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:47,100 So water conservation, we've touched on this a little bit, but you know, the district has instituted a mandatory level three water conservation use restriction this is due to the water source levels being very low in the season due to lack of rain and due to the lack of snowpack, we're still feeling that effect I mean if you all remember we might have got a two inch storm and maybe like another two inch storm early spring, but I haven't seen anything big since that and if it's a downpour it's a quick in all that water just goes away 313 00:28:48,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Um, we require a cluster, uh, we are not requiring customers to purchase any items, but just to adhere to the outdoor water restrictions, if a customer chooses to buy low flow fixtures or they want to go out and buy, uh, uh, soaking hoses or, you know, bleeding hoses. Again, I think we're not telling you, you can't water, you just have to water on your designated days. 314 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:27,720 Soaker hoses are the absolute best way to water your gardens and your flower beds and what have you because you're going after the roots rather than letting it evaporate as you're just broadcast spreading water. 315 00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:36,640 So we are allowing soaker hoses to work there to work the way they are because they are 60 to 80% less water. 316 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:43,720 So, just want to let you guys know, we are allowing hand watering on your off days, and 317 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,900 your soaker hose can stay going, but broadcasting is sticking to the days. 318 00:29:50,020 --> 00:29:56,880 We had a meeting with the town, and as Mike was alluding to, we had a meeting with the town 319 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,960 staff as early as today, and we basically... 320 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,400 We said we cannot approve new development utilizing water district water, when we are a letter to or higher. 321 00:30:06,820 --> 00:30:12,620 This is the issue that I tried to explain to the town all those town employees that came to the district last month 322 00:30:12,620 --> 00:30:18,000 that the water was a finite resource. And not sure if they took it all the heart. 323 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:25,620 KWD's source waters are not replenishing fast enough, or on a regular schedule to support the growth of 324 00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:34,260 it, Kittery, York, that they want to keep preceding it. I'm not stopping growth. We, you just 325 00:30:34,260 --> 00:30:40,960 are, we just are able to, we can't provide water to every property right now, and we, we're 326 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:45,740 struggling to make sure that we have it for everyone in the future. Again, I want to reiterate, 327 00:30:45,940 --> 00:30:55,240 we're not stopping growth. I felt like the meeting I had today was putting me on notice that I 328 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:06,300 to court because, you know, I said no to a permit. I am not stopping growth. I am not asking 329 00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:13,640 the town council to put on a moratorium, but if that moratorium helps them in their staff, 330 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:21,660 well, that's up to them. I don't want to be labeled as the guy that's stopping growth. I am, 331 00:31:21,660 --> 00:31:27,320 You can label me as the guy that's keeping our resource in check and I'm not going to just 332 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,240 allow it to go wasted. 333 00:31:31,860 --> 00:31:38,180 I guess my mantra is water is a privilege. 334 00:31:38,900 --> 00:31:45,560 Water is not a right and I'm going to go way back to my, I said I was going to do it and 335 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,220 I'm going to do it. 336 00:31:46,860 --> 00:31:51,520 So back when I was in college I had a professor that said something that just has stuck 337 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:58,360 with me over. I mean, we're talking 30 years. And maybe 40 years. But 30 years ago, I was 338 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,300 in a college class, and this professor says, you know what? Mark my words, water will 339 00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:08,360 be the next oil. And we were like, what do you mean by that? You see all the activity around 340 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:13,840 oil? Water will be it. And so, in light of what's going on in the world was straight of 341 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:20,700 her moves and everything like that, that's all about oil. Water is going to be the next commodity 342 00:32:20,700 --> 00:32:26,560 that is going to be in trouble. We are a world that is made up of 90% percent water, 343 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,540 3% of it is drinkable, and that's all the groundwater, and all the surface water. 344 00:32:32,260 --> 00:32:38,300 Think of that. That's amazing. That's amazing. We're able to support the world off a 3% really. 345 00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:45,860 So it's really water. It is no water. So I just, that was my little soapbox. I need to 346 00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:52,740 jump on and I thank you for letting me do it, but I just want to say it's a finite resource 347 00:32:52,740 --> 00:32:59,180 and we've got a protected. My last thing is rate case becomes effective September 1st. Just 348 00:32:59,180 --> 00:33:05,120 wanted to remind you all that. I don't believe public comment has come in. We're going to double 349 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:10,960 check with our consultant on the rate case, you know, next few days here. Our loans have been 350 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:17,180 submitted to the Bonbanks, so Trevor has been working with our Bonbanks counselor, and so we're 351 00:33:17,180 --> 00:33:21,980 in he's answered a few questions about spending the money, so those are in line, I think 352 00:33:21,980 --> 00:33:27,580 we're going to make sure that those are in line to become in our way as well, and that's my report. 353 00:33:28,340 --> 00:33:30,960 Great, thank you very much. Thank you, Matt. 354 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:31,760 Sure. Absolutely. 355 00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:35,400 Man, I have one question. Yeah, I'm not trying to jump ahead here. 356 00:33:35,460 --> 00:33:39,260 I'm going to put it for Tang to the Elliott tank. Is the evaluation by White Paris and 357 00:33:39,260 --> 00:33:43,180 my sales include the mixing issue, if you're right now we have. 358 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,880 Now, instead of that, how deep is that, mix of Nadia? 359 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,420 The mixer at L.T. 360 00:33:49,220 --> 00:33:54,200 Well, when I only see it in pictures when it was dreamed, 361 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,840 so it was on the bottom, and it's, I don't see any support. 362 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:03,480 So I can only imagine that I'm guessing that it's tethered by its cable, 363 00:34:03,980 --> 00:34:05,820 and maybe there's some styrofoam. 364 00:34:05,820 --> 00:34:13,240 It's not going high, but maybe it comes off the bottom a little bit and again I think we were 365 00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:20,960 do for a cleaning just because of normal usage. I think these two big water breaks that we've 366 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:27,700 had this year and we had some brown water. I think some of that found its way to the tank and that 367 00:34:27,700 --> 00:34:34,420 it's there's a large quantity probably sitting on the bottom I'm as you're 368 00:34:34,420 --> 00:34:38,280 going to see as you're going to approve tonight I've got some jar testing so 369 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,900 that the treatment plant can maybe do a little bit more removal of that iron 370 00:34:41,900 --> 00:34:46,340 and manganese so we are again folks at home we're investing money and then we're 371 00:34:46,340 --> 00:34:51,180 also going to clean that tank to make sure it's starting fresh. In the interim I 372 00:34:51,180 --> 00:34:54,660 I think the Paddle Mixer is not really efficient. 373 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,100 There was a jet nozzle mixing system all day. 374 00:34:58,180 --> 00:34:58,640 Have you heard of that? 375 00:34:59,580 --> 00:35:00,220 I have. 376 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:07,180 So you guys have already approved a new mixer and a dive sediment removal for 377 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:08,980 Rogers Road. 378 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:14,580 This gentleman said that he was going to probably use the same manufacturer. 379 00:35:15,620 --> 00:35:18,560 And he's working on giving me a mixer quote. 380 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:27,800 That is not here tonight. That's going to be in addition to, but he's coming to that site Friday to look at what I can do about reusing the electrical conduit and all that. 381 00:35:27,900 --> 00:35:36,260 So I can get a good quote. The one that you approve for Rogers Road is actually suspended about two thirds up into the thing. 382 00:35:36,940 --> 00:35:45,800 So it's going to pull and push in all these kind of it's it's going to have enough horsepower or what have you to really 383 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:52,260 it makes that tank.
