PUBLIC WORKS STATUS REPORT


BEAR VALLEY COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT

STAFF REPORT

 

 

TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS

PREPARED BY: CLINT STEWART

FOR: REGULAR BOARD MEETING, March 8, 2008

ITEM: PUBLIC WORKS

SUMMARY: We seem to have made it through the month without major difficulties. We received a nice bit of moisture, both rain and snow, and although there were a few problems with the amount and timing of the snow fall, I think everything came out pretty well. Cold and flue season has cost us a little time but the month went pretty smoothly for all departments despite the occasional missing person. It looks as if the snow is done for the season but I would sure like to see some more rain. It seems to me that we should still have plenty of opportunity in March and April.

DOMESTIC POTABLE WATER

DOMESTIC POTABLE WATER

A. POTABLE WATER

We were able to begin well abandonment on the 6 wells that are no longer in use. They should be complete by the end of the March. The water department crew has been busy doing regular leak repairs, meter reading and replacing a couple of fire hydrants that fell victim to close encounters with automobiles.

WASTEWATER

WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS

All discharge requirements have been met and reports filed. The wet weather still creates problems of water intrusion into the sewer system. The crew is constantly on the search for avenues of excessive intrusion and have, in the past, located and tried to isolate many places where this problem was identified. It seems that we have more looking to do.

ROADS

A. ROAD AND DRAINAGE EASEMENT MAINTENANCE

As mentioned in the summary snow has been a big factor this last month. Crews continue to make temporary repairs to roads, sweep up red-rock plus dirt and gravel deposited by the rain run-off and clear storm water drains. We were also able to change most of the street speed limit signs necessitated by recent changes in our speed limits.

 

SOLID WASTE

No new information. We are still awaiting a little dryer condition before trying to put down a new manure collection area. We are noticing a few people starting to leave items in the old “Mountain Mall” area again but try to warn them when we get a chance. We will step up our attention level until this problem goes away. For the most part people have been very cooperative.

Generator

The new generator for C.V. is operational.

The police station generator will have been delivered by the time you get this and will be fully operational by the end of next week, I should think. The transfer switch is connected, along with a portable generator and has been functioning as designed.
