Thank you. 102 00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:41,341 But tonight, 103 00:05:43,380 --> 00:05:47,654 I was going to show y'all how you can sign up for the fraud alert notification. 104 00:05:48,390 --> 00:05:51,841 I do want to preface, it is just a notification system. 105 00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:56,550 It will not stop any fraudulent or potentially fraudulent records from being 106 00:05:56,580 --> 00:06:01,380 recorded. It will just notify you any time something in your name has been 107 00:06:01,410 --> 00:06:05,460 recorded, and this is for anyone within the county or that owns property in the 108 00:06:05,490 --> 00:06:11,040 county that lives elsewhere. We did launch this August 2nd. 109 00:06:11,370 --> 00:06:11,790 I think so. 110 00:06:12,570 --> 00:06:17,145 Around 9:00, 9:30. I just forgot to hit publish at 8 o'clock that morning. 111 00:06:18,630 --> 00:06:23,430 But on the county website, under Departments, if you go to Register of Deeds, which 112 00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:25,439 I'm already there, which would be right here, 113 00:06:26,970 --> 00:06:30,195 it is the fourth option, Fraud Detection Notification, 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,990 and you do have to have an email address. So I'm going to just do a mock one. 115 00:06:37,140 --> 00:06:37,680 We'll do 116 00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:43,739 John Smith, and then we'll do J Smith. 117 00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:51,329 I'm just typing. It's hard to see, even with my glasses. 118 00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:56,850 So you would put your name and your email address, and then you would put any names 119 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,311 that would match or could match. So if you have your full middle name or a middle 120 00:07:02,341 --> 00:07:06,151 initial or just first and last, you would put all of those up to five and then 121 00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:10,890 scroll down and hit Submit. The most important thing is, is once you hit Submit, 122 00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:13,770 you do need to check your email for the verification email. 123 00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:19,920 If you do not do the verification, you will not get notified. That is very key. 124 00:07:21,901 --> 00:07:26,879 You can sign up at any time. You can sign up multiple names. 125 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,720 And any citizen that needs assistance with that, they can call the office and we 126 00:07:30,780 --> 00:07:33,615 can talk them through it, or they are welcome to come in the office and we can help 127 00:07:33,630 --> 00:07:35,730 them on our two public terminals as well. 128 00:07:36,811 --> 00:07:40,020 Spouses and co-owners need to sign up separately, or...? 129 00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:42,600 They can, but they don't have to. 130 00:07:44,341 --> 00:07:49,890 As long as one of the names is on there that's signed up should be sufficient. 131 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,250 Is there any other questions? 132 00:07:55,020 --> 00:07:56,130 It's a good service. Thank you. 133 00:07:56,550 --> 00:07:57,300 Well, thank y'all. 134 00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:03,660 Hope this has helped, and I'll let you take over 135 00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:05,790 again. 136 00:08:07,500 --> 00:08:08,460 Thank y'all. Have a good evening. 137 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:08,716 Thank you, Ashley. 138 00:08:08,716 --> 00:08:08,850 Thank you. 139 00:08:15,061 --> 00:08:16,454 Any public comment, Madam Clerk? 140 00:08:16,651 --> 00:08:17,280 No, sir. 141 00:08:17,490 --> 00:08:17,820 Okay. 142 00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:24,300 Old business, subdivision moratorium, Mr. Chad Sawyer. 143 00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:32,385 How are y'all doing this evening? 144 00:08:32,625 --> 00:08:33,495 Hey, Chad. 145 00:08:33,495 --> 00:08:33,495 Good. 146 00:08:33,540 --> 00:08:33,811 How you 147 00:08:35,610 --> 00:08:35,940 doing? 148 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:36,780 Let's see. 149 00:08:38,850 --> 00:08:43,500 So I spoke with Matt Miller, who is working with Timmons Group, is helping us out 150 00:08:43,561 --> 00:08:49,290 with a lot of our engineering and design for the permits we're seeking 151 00:08:49,470 --> 00:08:53,610 and the groundwater storage tank. We call it clear well. 152 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,730 So Matt said that NCDEQ reached out and needed some updates on what the current 153 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:04,380 developments are in the South Mills area so that we could try to better get some 154 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,200 flow projections. So this is a pretty good thing because NCDEQ is actually 155 00:09:10,260 --> 00:09:16,020 having a conversation with us, not ghosting us. So we're talking back and forth. 156 00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:19,830 They have some questions, we're answering them, telling them why we're seeking this 157 00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:23,625 permit and doing the best we can to advocate that we got a lot of development going 158 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:25,500 on that's going to outrun the sewer plant. 159 00:09:25,890 --> 00:09:31,530 So that's why it's important that we need this NPDS permit to discharge into the 160 00:09:31,561 --> 00:09:32,790 river. 161 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,311 The clear well, the engineering application was submitted to NCDEQ. 162 00:09:39,090 --> 00:09:42,870 This is the permit that needs to be submitted, go through the planning review 163 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,401 process, and then they give us the authorization to construct after it's gone 164 00:09:47,431 --> 00:09:50,715 through the review process, so that, that way, we can actually put the project out 165 00:09:50,730 --> 00:09:53,670 to bid. So we're getting real close. 166 00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:56,220 DEQ did come back with some comments, 167 00:09:57,811 --> 00:10:01,620 which I mean, you all pretty much know the first time you submit anything, you're 168 00:10:01,681 --> 00:10:04,980 going to get some kind of comment back on it somehow. 169 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,320 So it was resubmitted the very next day with some amendments based off of the 170 00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:13,020 comments that we got. And then, 171 00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:18,720 we're hoping that we'll get that authorization to construct pretty much any day 172 00:10:18,811 --> 00:10:23,550 now. So we're really excited about that, and we're really close. 173 00:10:25,244 --> 00:10:26,175 Sure. Great work. Thanks, Jim. 174 00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:27,090 Any questions? 175 00:10:27,151 --> 00:10:29,730 Thank you. 176 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,780 Ms. Erin Burt with the Data Center Moratorium update. 177 00:10:37,710 --> 00:10:42,960 Yes. Planning staff, along with our assistants with Berkeley Group, are working 178 00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:47,175 through some definitions with data centers to define all of the potential uses that 179 00:10:47,190 --> 00:10:50,670 are a data center and reviewing some industry standards. 180 00:10:51,030 --> 00:10:55,140 Since we adopted the moratorium, Commissioner Eiland, Commissioner White, and I 181 00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:59,850 attended the NCAC and got some additional resources from NACO. 182 00:11:00,510 --> 00:11:05,040 And, I want to say it's the Piedmont, 183 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,750 Cog in Virginia that has done a lot of work on this. 184 00:11:09,825 --> 00:11:14,220 And so pulling all those resources together to make sure that we're covering all 185 00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:18,300 our bases there. Staff anticipates that we will have draft language 186 00:11:19,620 --> 00:11:23,910 in October. So staff will request at the October meeting to set a public hearing 187 00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:27,811 for the November meeting to review that use. 188 00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:30,990 And that's all I have for that. 189 00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:35,550 Okay.

During routine monthly maintenance in August, a key component of the 287 00:17:43,051 --> 00:17:43,770 plotter broke. 288 00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:50,611 I was told there was much deep diving on eBay to try to find this mystery piece 289 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160 that they needed to replace.

Water staff use that space with some frequency. 312 00:19:13,575 --> 00:19:17,160 But the office is currently open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as staffing 313 00:19:17,176 --> 00:19:21,210 allows. Recently, we've had to close the office because we've had some staffing 314 00:19:21,705 --> 00:19:25,426 issues here at the Camden office, so we pull Regina down here for that. 315 00:19:26,085 --> 00:19:30,225 After hours and on the days when the office is not open, customers can use the drop 316 00:19:30,315 --> 00:19:34,875 box. Due to the occupancy of the building, it's staff's recommendation to begin a 317 00:19:34,935 --> 00:19:39,645 cashless payment system at that location, accepting only checks or credit card. 318 00:19:40,095 --> 00:19:43,426 I should have included money orders because we accept those, too, as payment. 319 00:19:44,265 --> 00:19:47,715 And customers wishing to pay in cash may still do so, but they would have to do it 320 00:19:47,730 --> 00:19:49,815 at the Camden office location. 321 00:19:51,285 --> 00:19:57,015 A few of you had requested some additional information as far as the number 322 00:19:57,165 --> 00:20:00,121 of payments that were received at that office. 323 00:20:04,215 --> 00:20:08,955 There are a number of times where there are very few payments received there. 324 00:20:09,345 --> 00:20:13,275 It's not nearly as busy as the central office. 325 00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:19,455 But they're still receiving cash, and so that cash has to be reconciled and 326 00:20:19,486 --> 00:20:21,615 then processed accordingly. 327 00:20:23,865 --> 00:20:26,475 And I'll do my best to answer questions you may have about this. 328 00:20:27,045 --> 00:20:30,615 And I think Chaz might be able to answer more technical questions if you have those 329 00:20:30,705 --> 00:20:31,095 as well. 330 00:20:34,035 --> 00:20:35,325 Anybody have any questions? 331 00:20:40,635 --> 00:20:43,996 Motion to approve the transition to cashless payments at the South Mills Water 332 00:20:44,085 --> 00:20:49,486 Office?

Who else is planning to go? 391 00:24:06,975 --> 00:24:07,486 Anybody? 392 00:24:10,125 --> 00:24:12,825 Troy?

So Stephanie, I think- 395 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,025 I have to. 396 00:24:23,625 --> 00:24:27,270 I'll make a motion to appoint myself as-- unless you want to be voting delegate, I 397 00:24:27,270 --> 00:24:32,085 don't mind.

County manager's report. 404 00:25:10,575 --> 00:25:11,236 We had a 405 00:25:12,795 --> 00:25:16,005 number of meetings preparing for the Board of Adjustment hearing that was held last 406 00:25:16,035 --> 00:25:20,595 Monday night, and then we held our hearing, well, first portion of the hearing last 407 00:25:20,655 --> 00:25:21,015 Monday. 408 00:25:22,275 --> 00:25:26,145 We had a safety personnel tour of the new high school that included representatives 409 00:25:26,205 --> 00:25:30,015 from the sheriff's office, EMS, and South Camden Fire. 410 00:25:30,555 --> 00:25:34,605 Brought up some good points, and I think that it was a good opportunity to get them 411 00:25:34,695 --> 00:25:38,565 in early to see the space and walk through it and understand the layout of the 412 00:25:38,595 --> 00:25:43,575 building a little bit better. We had EMS peer review, and I want to take a little 413 00:25:43,635 --> 00:25:45,825 sidebar there and brag on EMS for a minute. 414 00:25:45,915 --> 00:25:50,325 So I think you all probably saw the parks eagle award that our EMS employees 415 00:25:50,385 --> 00:25:52,335 received on the front page of the paper. 416 00:25:52,875 --> 00:25:53,685 And at that 417 00:25:54,915 --> 00:25:59,551 award ceremony that evening, I heard something that made me very proud of our 418 00:25:59,551 --> 00:25:59,986 service. 419 00:26:01,305 --> 00:26:07,245 When we started EMS, I told our director that I want it to be the gold 420 00:26:07,305 --> 00:26:11,625 standard, and that's a high bar to set, but I think that we have the ability to do 421 00:26:11,655 --> 00:26:17,355 that here in Camden. One of the advantages of the system that we have is it's a 422 00:26:17,385 --> 00:26:21,705 fairly small system. And so when we want to try something new or do something 423 00:26:21,795 --> 00:26:22,215 different, 424 00:26:24,226 --> 00:26:27,765 we have the ability to roll that out a little bit easier than larger systems with 425 00:26:27,795 --> 00:26:29,895 more personnel and more trucks and more stations. 426 00:26:30,676 --> 00:26:36,375 And so one of the folks that was there that night is also a part-time employee for 427 00:26:36,405 --> 00:26:42,270 Virginia Beach EMS. And we had made some change in one of the bags that they 428 00:26:42,585 --> 00:26:47,236 use on a regular basis, and it was just a small piece of equipment purchased off of 429 00:26:47,325 --> 00:26:50,071 Amazon, and he thought it would work better. 430 00:26:50,176 --> 00:26:53,535 We tried it out, and they roll it out to all of our trucks. 431 00:26:53,685 --> 00:26:54,030 And 432 00:26:55,395 --> 00:26:59,986 he regularly brags when he goes to Virginia Beach EMS about how Camden does things, 433 00:27:00,660 --> 00:27:03,105 and Camden is setting the standard. 434 00:27:03,150 --> 00:27:07,575 They, I guess, have recently adopted something that we did at Virginia Beach EMS. 435 00:27:07,635 --> 00:27:10,275 So I think that that's something that the board should be proud of. 436 00:27:10,335 --> 00:27:13,815 Certainly, something that I'm proud of, and I'm super proud to have a staff that's 437 00:27:14,325 --> 00:27:17,986 forward-thinking and innovative and looking for creative ways to solve problems 438 00:27:18,705 --> 00:27:24,315 that other systems wrestle with on a regular basis. So sorry about that sidebar. 439 00:27:25,545 --> 00:27:27,946 We are preparing for the Heritage Festival 440 00:27:30,567 --> 00:27:33,836 Sarah and Tara are looking a little tired back there. 441 00:27:34,377 --> 00:27:40,317 But the Heritage Festival's coming up on September 19th, and it is from 10 442 00:27:40,347 --> 00:27:42,658 to 3, right? 10 to 3 at 443 00:27:44,457 --> 00:27:50,188 the community park. I encourage everybody to take a peek at the maps and things 444 00:27:50,217 --> 00:27:53,487 that we recently posted online as far as transportation. 445 00:27:53,938 --> 00:27:58,167 We've made some alterations to how that's done this year to hopefully reduce the 446 00:27:58,197 --> 00:28:01,888 amount of walking folks are having to do from the drop-off point with the shuttles 447 00:28:01,947 --> 00:28:06,402 into the actual festival space. So I'm excited about those transitions that we're 448 00:28:06,447 --> 00:28:11,277 making there. We've had our biweekly construction meetings for the new high school. 449 00:28:11,307 --> 00:28:13,317 I have weekly planning meetings now. 450 00:28:14,427 --> 00:28:17,578 We did the new finance officers' orientation and county tour. 451 00:28:17,667 --> 00:28:19,078 We stopped to make it over to the water plant. 452 00:28:19,107 --> 00:28:22,317 We got there just after most of those folks had left that day, so we had to make it 453 00:28:22,347 --> 00:28:26,667 back over there. Attended a regional transportation planning meeting, which the 454 00:28:26,697 --> 00:28:28,647 county hosted here in the community room. 455 00:28:29,188 --> 00:28:33,388 Our Treasure Point site meeting, we're inviting all of the department heads to come 456 00:28:33,417 --> 00:28:37,227 down to Treasure Point tomorrow for our department head meeting to tour the site. 457 00:28:37,287 --> 00:28:40,677 That's moving along really well. We hope to have our temporary certificate of 458 00:28:40,707 --> 00:28:45,447 occupancy at the end of this month, and then hopefully we can move the extension 459 00:28:45,477 --> 00:28:47,787 office staff in there sometime late October. 460 00:28:47,877 --> 00:28:50,546 So really pleased with how things are moving there. 461 00:28:52,287 --> 00:28:56,908 The month of August was super busy for our HR department. 462 00:28:56,997 --> 00:29:00,882 We filled 11 positions in the month of August, three part-time positions, eight 463 00:29:00,987 --> 00:29:06,927 full-time positions. So it's nice to see those job listings shrinking down on the 464 00:29:06,957 --> 00:29:09,957 website, and nice to get our departments up to a full staff. 465 00:29:10,078 --> 00:29:15,207 And then, I mentioned earlier that we attended the NCACC conference in Durham. 466 00:29:15,297 --> 00:29:20,638 They had some fantastic sessions, both on data centers and on the tax reform 467 00:29:20,727 --> 00:29:22,287 legislation that's moving through 468 00:29:24,297 --> 00:29:28,857 the general assembly in Raleigh. One thing that's not on this list, but I do want 469 00:29:28,872 --> 00:29:30,462 to touch on, I know that 470 00:29:31,917 --> 00:29:35,188 Lisa sometimes struggles getting folks to... 471 00:29:35,247 --> 00:29:39,417 Especially those top 10 or top 30 unpaid and... 472 00:29:40,438 --> 00:29:43,602 And I wanted to talk to the board briefly about this. 473 00:29:43,647 --> 00:29:46,917 So we advertise those things in the newspaper. 474 00:29:47,757 --> 00:29:51,507 But I don't know how many folks are actually reading the newspaper, and we 475 00:29:51,597 --> 00:29:56,727 advertise them there to make sure that everybody knows who is paid and unpaid. 476 00:29:57,417 --> 00:30:03,388 And so if it's the board's desire, we can additionally post 477 00:30:03,417 --> 00:30:07,242 that information on the county website and share it on our social media pages as 478 00:30:07,317 --> 00:30:08,967 well, just to make sure that 479 00:30:10,257 --> 00:30:16,197 those names are out there. This 480 00:30:16,227 --> 00:30:19,557 is the way I look at it. We have some outstanding bills that are right around 481 00:30:19,572 --> 00:30:23,638 $6,000, and you all just approved a budget amendment to purchase a new plotter. 482 00:30:23,697 --> 00:30:28,347 So that person's unpaid taxes could have purchased that new plotter. 483 00:30:29,518 --> 00:30:33,597 And we have a great collection rate in the county. 484 00:30:33,658 --> 00:30:36,717 I'm super proud of the work that the tax office does. 485 00:30:37,047 --> 00:30:40,287 But I think it might be 486 00:30:41,518 --> 00:30:46,482 a little extra pressure on folks if their names are not just in the newspaper, and 487 00:30:46,527 --> 00:30:49,287 those taxes make it paid a little faster that way. 488 00:30:50,578 --> 00:30:54,357 So I leave that to you all. If you would like me to do that, I'm happy to move 489 00:30:54,388 --> 00:30:55,018 forward with that. 490 00:30:55,467 --> 00:31:00,087 40 million outside. Only two things are guaranteed in life. Death and taxes. 491 00:31:01,737 --> 00:31:02,997 We all pay our taxes. 492 00:31:04,078 --> 00:31:04,197 Yeah. 493 00:31:04,257 --> 00:31:04,513 All right. 494 00:31:04,917 --> 00:31:06,268 Yeah. And the 495 00:31:07,497 --> 00:31:10,647 traditional way of finding that information was the newspaper. 496 00:31:10,737 --> 00:31:11,037 Right. 497 00:31:11,097 --> 00:31:11,352 I mean- 498 00:31:11,938 --> 00:31:14,307 And now we have a newspaper twice a week. Well, at the end of this month. 499 00:31:14,337 --> 00:31:16,587 Yeah, twice a week at the end of this month. 500 00:31:18,147 --> 00:31:18,957 Yeah. I think it's a good idea. 501 00:31:21,117 --> 00:31:23,922 We publish the agenda, but you have to really go looking for it- 502 00:31:23,938 --> 00:31:23,951 Mm-hmm 503 00:31:24,057 --> 00:31:28,347 ... if you're curious about it. It's not that the information's not there, but you 504 00:31:28,408 --> 00:31:30,537 have to look for it. It only gets published in the paper... 505 00:31:31,047 --> 00:31:34,047 Is it published in the paper once, Lisa? Is that correct? Yeah. 506 00:31:34,227 --> 00:31:37,888 So it's published in the paper once, and if you don't pick up that edition or you 507 00:31:37,947 --> 00:31:39,147 miss it, then you miss it. 508 00:31:40,377 --> 00:31:44,457 Maybe the first Facebook page. Is everybody on board? 509 00:31:44,667 --> 00:31:44,787 Yeah. 510 00:31:45,567 --> 00:31:51,326 Maybe the first post just be an announcement of, "This is going to be normal." 511 00:31:51,611 --> 00:31:51,611 Okay. 512 00:31:52,438 --> 00:31:55,438 So that people won't say, "Oh my goodness." You got to let somebody know. 513 00:31:55,587 --> 00:31:56,622 Nobody gets a heads up. 514 00:31:56,967 --> 00:32:02,158 No fault of the tax department, but it cannot come across as a surprise. 515 00:32:02,277 --> 00:32:04,408 Certainly. Yeah, and those names don't get there. 516 00:32:05,007 --> 00:32:05,188 I mean- 517 00:32:05,578 --> 00:32:05,757 Yeah, years 518 00:32:06,507 --> 00:32:10,647 ... they've made phone calls, they've reached out, they've tried to contact folks, 519 00:32:10,707 --> 00:32:14,067 they've sent letters. Those tax bills are unpaid 520 00:32:15,477 --> 00:32:16,497 not without notice. 521 00:32:16,587 --> 00:32:16,947 Mm-hmm. 522 00:32:19,408 --> 00:32:19,422 Okay. 523 00:32:19,497 --> 00:32:21,987 So if there's consensus amongst the board, I don't think I need a motion. 524 00:32:22,078 --> 00:32:23,247 I can move forward. 525 00:32:23,263 --> 00:32:23,263 Okay. 526 00:32:23,277 --> 00:32:24,297 Yeah. 527 00:32:26,127 --> 00:32:26,997 Thank you. Cecil, you got anything? 528 00:32:27,777 --> 00:32:32,397 Well, I just was going to share, too, about going to the NCACC conference. 529 00:32:33,057 --> 00:32:38,457 We had a board meeting the day before, so that was Wednesday through Sunday for me. 530 00:32:39,237 --> 00:32:44,427 But anyway, we had a great time, and Alan Thomas got sworn in as the new president. 531 00:32:45,627 --> 00:32:48,147 There were a lot of great breakout sessions. 532 00:32:48,567 --> 00:32:51,941 Wellness, there was one that I really loved, it was Wellness Advantage, investing 533 00:32:51,987 --> 00:32:57,297 in your workforce. Just some ideas for health among employees, county 534 00:32:57,328 --> 00:33:02,982 employees.

One sewer work order completed with 100% completion. 604 00:36:07,617 --> 00:36:12,672 There was 97 locates submitted for the township of South Mills, 605 00:36:13,768 --> 00:36:19,092 48 locates submitted for the Courthouse Township, and 606 00:36:19,467 --> 00:36:21,567 32 for the Shiloh Township. 607 00:36:24,027 --> 00:36:28,393 Total water treated at the treatment plant was 608 00:36:28,737 --> 00:36:34,287 21,127,000 gallons of water. That gave us a daily average of 609 00:36:34,527 --> 00:36:40,482 681,500 gallons, which is 95% capacity of 610 00:36:40,557 --> 00:36:41,187 the water plant. 611 00:36:41,397 --> 00:36:42,147 Mm. 612 00:36:42,897 --> 00:36:46,827 So June and July this year, we were pumping a lot of water out. 613 00:36:47,757 --> 00:36:49,947 I can say that it has calmed down 614 00:36:51,699 --> 00:36:54,803 The weather's been a lot nicer. Kids are back to school, so there's not much 615 00:36:55,209 --> 00:36:57,639 swimming pools and things like that going on anymore. 616 00:36:57,909 --> 00:37:02,049 We have started doing some flushing around some different areas and things like 617 00:37:02,109 --> 00:37:07,089 that, too.

That's a 100,000 gallon per day plant, and that 621 00:37:25,269 --> 00:37:29,859 is 25% capacity. I do remember standing up here in front of you all and telling you 622 00:37:29,949 --> 00:37:33,849 all like 12% and 10% and things like that about a year ago. 623 00:37:35,799 --> 00:37:41,230 So the courthouse area wastewater treatment plant treated an average of 30,358 624 00:37:41,289 --> 00:37:47,049 gallons per day.
