The bimonthly water and wastewater reports are in for the city of Stanley.
As for the Water Report, Water Operator in Charge Jon Strand reported work done since last meeting to include normal plant operations, water quality issues, water meter replacements, and water service shutoffs and turn ons.
Strand also reported that the bid opening on the Central Plant had changed to Sept. 15 to allow time for changing the building elevation to a level anticipated to be above the floodplain elevations, and that additional buffer height had been built into the elevation “as a safety factor.” Bid opening for asbestos abatement for the 1970s water plant is scheduled for Sept. 26, with several other items for the Central and Northwest plants.
As for the central Plant, Strand wrote that the Wisconsin DNR plan review was continuing with review questions, while the potassium permanganate tank change had been approved by the DNR.
As for the Northwest Plant, Strand reported that the cooling water pump circuit break had been adjusted for motor amperage, while the Ingersoll Rand compressor appears to be providing inconsistent pressure causing the Pinnacle ozone sensor to alarm and requiring reset. Ingersoll Rand was in the process of scheduling a warrant service visit. Also at the Northwest Plant, Tru Lock installed a door lock striker plate, while the Reverse Osmosis (RO) member controls may required new control modules, as they are requiring resetting more frequently. Strand also reported that Xcel Energy had installed a monitoring device to track power surges at the Northwest Plan, and that the flickering light had not been resolved, but that an electrical device in the ozone equipment might be the issue. The company was being contacted. Meters and piping on Wells 5 and 7 was installed, with results pending on bacti testing. Door paining was to continue and an HVAC contractor was to install fans for the ozone room temperature.
Touching briefly on Maple Street, Strand said the contractor had been continuing with sanitary sewer work and that directional drilling was taking place “under the stream.”
As for work planned at the water department, Strand reported normal plant operation and maintenance, compliance testing, responding to customer questions and documenting water quality. Strand also listed an operation and maintenance schedule spreadsheet, diggers hotline locates, work on meter problems that come up, and repositioning of the floor water leak monitoring device to better detect pipe leaks at the Central Water Plant, among other things.
Planned training for Jeriame Czubakowski and Northwest Plant maintenance work was also listed.
Following up Strand with the wastewater report, Wastewater Operator in Charge Nick Martin reported work done as including routing plant operation, purchase orders and billing with Deputy Clerk Maggie Keeku, force main locating multiple times for the Maple Street Project, and attendance by Jake Lukes at the Plover Wisconsin Rural Water Association (WRWA) Water and Sewer Expo in Plover on Aug. 28.
As for planned work, Martin listed daily plant operations, sludge pumping, and continued work on maintenance.
