Operations
Generator: Very close to full completion, fence has been installed around the propane tank per homeowner’s instructions. Electrical has been installed and Power Systems West will come on September 20, 2021 for setup and training. There is an issue with the circuit board that requires replacement. First Choice Electrical and Power Systems West are coordinating on this as it’s either a warranty issue or the fault of the electrical installation.
Hydrant Install – North Shore Drive: Steve Booher (architect) presented a request to install a hydrant near a property remodel to assist in fire suppression. Charlie explained that our system is not designed for fire flow and that the hydrants currently in place on the road are flushing / sampling stations located at the end of the water mains. We don’t have the size piping and pressure required to meet flow requirements throughout the system. LWWD would need to require the developer to potentially install a minimum of 900ft of new piping replacing older under-capacity water mains. Otherwise, damage could occur to this existing smaller piping that was not replaced in the 2015 upgrade. Homeowner inquired if our system would handle an internal sprinkler system. Charlie said it would, but a larger meter and service line would need to be installed. Commissioner Guimond told Mr. Booher that he would do more research and will hopefully have new information to make a decision at the next public meeting.
Wellhead Protection – Mt. Park: Commissioner Deems spoke with 2 people at PUD to find out what systems they have in place if there is a power outage and the holding tank overflows. The response was that PUD does have a tank on a trailer to put in place if necessary, but that it’s ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility. Discussion on options to protect wellhead, including expanding our emergency management plan to including a process with the PUD. Commissioner Deems suggested that the discussion to be tabled until the next meeting, all Commissioners agreed. .
