WOULD PLEASE COME FORWARD. HE WILL PRESENT TO US THE FINDINGS OF THE WATER SYSTEM. ASSESSMENT STUDY OF OUR DISCUSSED COLORATION OF WATER EVENT IF YOU'RE HOT, WAIT ONE MOMENT. UM MR SLIDELL. THE STUDENTS ARE LEAVING. YOU WANT TO THANK THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR A TENDON.

BYE BYE. YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY.

OKAY THEY'VE ALL EXITED THE ROOM. YOU MAY PROCEED NOW. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME. MAYOR COUNCIL MEMBERS, STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC PLEASED TO BE HERE AND THANKS TO FOR THE WAY THAT YOU'RE HONORING THOSE IN YOUR COMMUNITY, STUDENTS AND VETERANS FINALLY REMEMBER THOSE TYPES OF ENGAGEMENTS EARLY IN MY LIFE, AND IT MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE, AND I KNOW THAT IT WILL MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THEIRS AS WELL. SO I'M PLEASED TO RETURN TO SPEAK TO YOU HAVING DONE SO THE FIRST TIME PREVIOUSLY BEFORE WE WERE ENGAGED BY THE CITY TO ASSESS QUESTIONS, CONCERNS AND NEXT STEPS POSSIBLY HAVE ADDRESSING ISSUES OF DISCOLORED WATER AND THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND HERE TO REPORT ON THOSE FINDINGS, AND SO OUR EFFORTS. WE WERE ENGAGED TO ASSESS THOSE COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS COLORED WATER AND WATER QUALITY CONCERNS. IN DOING SO, WE REVIEWED WATER QUALITY DATA FROM THE SURFACE WATER TREATMENT AT PINE STREET, THE LOW GROUND WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND ALSO IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. MYSELF AND STAFF CONDUCTED SITE VISITS TO EVALUATE THE VARIOUS WATER SOURCES. THE TREATMENT PROCESSES THAT ARE INVOLVED AND THEN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FACILITIES. THEIR CONDITION AND OPERATIONS AND THEN DEVELOPED RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BOTH OPTIMIZING TREATMENT AND OPERATIONS IN MINIMIZING, YOU KNOW, WAYS TO MINIMIZE FUTURE DISCOLORATION EVENTS. AND SO OUT OF THAT WANTED TO REALLY REPORT ON. YOU KNOW WHAT CAME OF THAT SO CLEARLY? THERE HAVE BEEN CONCERNS WITH RESPECT TO DISCOLORED WATER COMPLAINTS. SEE ON THE LEFT THERE. A CHART OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS BY MONTH FROM JUNE 2020 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 2021 2 KEY TIME PERIODS IN JULY, 2020 AND THEN AGAIN IN JUNE OF 2021. NOTED BY BOTH A WATER MAIN BREAK AND THEN HYDRANT TESTING. LED TO PRETTY WIDESPREAD CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THOSE CONCERNS. THE MAP ON THE RIGHT SHOWS THE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE COMMUNITY OF WHERE THOSE COMPLAINTS WERE RECEIVED FROM AND I THINK CERTAINLY CAN APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT NO COMMUNITY WANTS TO BE IN THIS CONDITION, BUT WANTS TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE ARE AND TO ADDRESS THOSE MEANINGFULLY. AND SO AS WE WORKED WITH STAFF COLLABORATIVELY ON ASSESSING THOSE CONDITIONS. REALLY HAVE SOME REALLY IMPORTANT KEY TAKEAWAYS. THE FIRST IS SIMPLY THAT WHILE WE MAY WANT A SINGULAR SOLUTION, THERE REALLY ISN'T A SINGULAR FINDING A RECOMMENDATION THAT WILL IMMEDIATELY RESOLVED THESE CONCERNS. IT ISN'T A SNAP OF THE FINGERS THAT MAKES THIS HAPPEN, HOWEVER. A COMPREHENSIVE AND COHESIVE STRATEGY. UH IS BOTH NEEDED AND IS BEING IMPLEMENTED AND TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS.

AND THE CITY IS ALREADY UNDERWAY WITH MANY OF THOSE THINGS NOW. UM I'LL SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO THE KEY ASPECTS OF THOSE AND GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE WITH THOSE. SO LET'S FIRST STEP INTO THE THINGS THAT CITY STAFF HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSING. THE FIRST OF THOSE IS CLEANING WATER STORAGE TANKS . SO HALF OF THOSE HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE. THEY'VE BEEN CLEANED AND EXPECTED. THAT IS KNOWN TO BE RESERVOIR OR HARBOR OF SOME OF THE CONCERNS WITH RESPECT TO WATER QUALITY, AND THIS IS A PRETTY STANDARD PRACTICE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ROUTINELY ON A SCHEDULE TO BE ABLE TO MITIGATE AND MAINTAINED WATER QUALITY CONCERNS. THERE'S ALSO BEEN EFFORTS TO MONITOR FOR MANGANESE THAT IS ONE OF THE PRIMARY CULPRITS OF THESE WATER QUALITY COMPLAINTS, AND THAT HAS BEEN BEEN ONGOING AT THE PINE STREET SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT.

AND THAT IS NECESSARY TO REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DEGREE TO WHICH THOSE WATER QUALITY CONCERNS ARE WATER AS IT'S COMING TO THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT, HOW IT'S BEING ADDRESSED THROUGH THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND ULTIMATELY WHAT IS BEING DELIVERED INTO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AND THEN SERVED CUSTOMERS. NOW THINGS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AND NEXT STEPS BEYOND THAT THESE WOULD BE THE HIGHEST IMPACT RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE FULL REPORT GOES INTO SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL TECHNICAL DETAILS. BEYOND THESE, BUT I'LL JUST HIGHLIGHT THESE INITIAL KEY POINTS. THE FIRST IS THAT THE PINE STREET SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT WE'RE

[00:25:05]

RECOMMENDING THAT CHLORINE DIOXIDE BE IMPLEMENTED TO IMPROVE THE REMOVAL OF MANGANESE. MANGANESE IS A CONTAMINANT, NATURALLY OCCURRING AND DRINKING WATER SOURCES THAT REQUIRES A PRETTY HIGH DEGREE OF CHEMICAL OXIDATION TO BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY REMOVE IT WITH A SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. YOU HAVE ALL OF THE TREATMENT PROCESSES AT THE PINE STREET WATER TREATMENT PLANT TO DO THAT, BUT NEED TO HAVE MORE EFFECTIVE OXIDATION OF THE WATER BEFORE IT GOES THROUGH THOSE FILTERS. BUT IN DOING THAT THAT WOULD EFFECTIVELY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MANGANESE MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT AND THEN BEING DELIVERED TO CUSTOMERS AND BEING ABLE TO BE ACCUMULATED. THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT FIRST STEP. THE NEXT BEYOND THAT IS TO CONSISTENTLY MONITOR MANGANESE AT BOTH THE PINE STREET PLANT, WHICH I'VE SAID HAS ALREADY STARTED. AND THE LOW GROUND WATER TREATMENT PLANT YOU KNOW THAT SUPPLY HAS THE ABILITY TO CONTRIBUTE MANGANESE TO THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM AS WELL AND THIS HAS BEEN STARTED AND NEEDS TO BE CONSISTENTLY DONE AT BOTH FOR ITS WATER TREATMENT PLANTS LOCATIONS IN THE GROUND WATER TREATMENT PLANTS TO JUST AGAIN UNDERSTAND THE DEGREE TO WHICH THESE CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS OF CONCERN MOSTLY IRON AND MANGANESE, WHICH ARE AESTHETIC IN NATURE, DON'T POSE HEALTH CONCERNS. BUT DO OBVIOUSLY CAUSE AESTHETIC CONCERNS. AND SO MONITORING IS THE NEXT STEP. BEYOND THAT, AT THE PINE STREET SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT. THERE'S EFFORTS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE DONE TO OPTIMIZE FILTER CLEANING AND FREQUENCY AND DURATION. THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT IT HASN'T BEEN DONE WELL TO DATE. THIS IS ONCE CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS IMPLEMENTED. THOSE FILTERS WILL BE REMOVING MORE MANGANESE AND WHEN THEY ARE DOING THAT THE FREQUENCY OF CLEANING AND DURATION WILL CHANGE BECAUSE THEY'LL NEED TO BE MANAGED IN A WAY THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN MANAGED BEFORE, WHEN THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVING MANGANESE. PART OF A TWO STEP PROCESS. NOW THEN. BEYOND THAT. WE ALREADY SAID THAT THE CITY IS UNDERWAY WITH STORES, TANK INSPECTION AND CLEANING. THAT NEEDS TO CONTINUE AND THOSE EFFORTS NEED TO BE ON A ROUTINE SCHEDULE GOING FORWARD AND ADDRESSING THE FACT THAT THESE TYPES OF AESTHETIC CONCERNS MANGANESE AND IRON, PREDOMINANTLY CAN AND DO ACCUMULATE IN WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS AND NEED TO BE REMOVED FROM THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IN PLACES WHERE THOSE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMATIC, EVEN IF YOU TAKE IT OUT AT THE SOURCE WATER IF IT'S IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM IN PLACES LIKE TANKS THAT CAN STILL NEED TO BE IN CUSTOMERS TAPS.

HAS TO BE MOVED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AND THE LAST RECOMMENDATION. HIGH IMPACT RECOMMENDATION IS ALONG THOSE LINES AND THAT IS DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A UNIT DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PLAN, WHICH IS SIMPLY TO RID THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM OF ANY ADDITIONAL IRON, MANGANESE OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS OF CONCERN THAT ARE ACCUMULATED THERE, SO THEY'RE EVACUATED FROM THE WATER SYSTEM RATHER THAN BEING DELIVERED TO CUSTOMERS TAPS. AND THIS PLAN IN CONCERT WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER LESSER DETAILS. UM ARE A PART OF THAT COMPREHENSIVE, COHESIVE STRATEGY . THAT BASICALLY MEANS THAT AS THE CITY IS ADDRESSING ANY WATER RELATED INVESTMENTS AND OPERATIONS THAT IT HAS IN MIND THE QUESTION OF HOW CAN THIS AND HOW IS THIS ADDRESSING JUST ONE COLORED WATER CONCERNS. BECAUSE EVERY STEP THAT IS BEING TAKEN BY CITY STAFF IN THAT REGARD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE ON THOSE THINGS, AND OUR OBSERVATIONS IS THAT THAT IS HAPPENING IN A NUMBER OF WAYS AND SOME OF THESE HIGH IMPACT RECOMMENDATIONS OR THINGS THAT CAN BE PRIORITIZED TO SPEED THE PROCESS OF MITIGATING THOSE CONCERNS. SO WITH THAT. HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL DETAILS BEYOND THAT, BUT I WANTED TO KEEP IT REALLY POINTED FOR THE KEY POINTS SO YOU COULD HAVE AN APPRECIATION OF WHAT WE WERE ASKED TO DO WHAT WE OBSERVED. THE CITY IS ALREADY UNDERTAKEN AND WHAT COMES NOW. HAPPY DANCING. WELL, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION. WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, UM, PRESENTATION. AND. ONE THING I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN. TO THE PUBLIC. WHEN YOU SAY THE DISCOLORATION UM, IN THE SMELL DOES NOT. HAVE ANY HARMFUL. HAVE ANY HARMFUL. AFTER. PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS. WELL, PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERNS, RIGHT? YES, BUT SOMEONE LOOKING AT BROWN WATER AND. POURING A GLASS OF WATER AND IT'S BROWN AND YOU CAN SMELL IT. THEN THEY'RE NOT GONNA WANT TO DRINK IT. ABSOLUTELY. AND SO FROM YOUR REPORT AND WHAT YOU SEE. HOW HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC? SO THOSE CONDITIONS I ABSOLUTELY AGREE THAT THAT IS NOT

[00:30:07]

ACCEPTABLE CONDITION OF PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY WATER TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN ENGAGED IN ADDRESSING THESE ISSUES. WATER UTILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THAT IS THE STATE OF THE CONDITION OF THE SYSTEM AS YOU WERE EXPERIENCING THOSE COMPLAINTS, PARTICULARLY AS SHOWN ON THAT MAP AND ON THAT GRAPH OVER THE 2020 AND 21 PERIOD, AND I KNOW THERE'S BEEN EVEN SOME SENSE, THEN. THERE ARE ACCUMULATED CONCENTRATIONS OF MANGANESE AND IRON AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, AND THERE HAS BEEN CONTINUED. UM IRON AND MANGANESE, COMING FROM BOTH THE GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER SUPPLY. AND SO THE PROCESS OF MITIGATING THAT HAS TO BE REMOVING IT AT THE SOURCES. AND THEN READING THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FROM WHAT IS ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, AND IN TIME THOSE THINGS WILL BE DECREASED OVER TIME, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THERE'S NOT A WAY TO JUST IMMEDIATELY MAKE IT GO AWAY. SO IN ANSWERING THE QUESTION OF A HOMEOWNER THAT MIGHT EXPERIENCE THE SITUATION OF DRAWING A BATH FOR THEIR CHILD AND THE BATHTUB DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT'S CLEAN. NOBODY WANTS THAT NOBODY WANTS TO HAVE HAVE THAT. THERE. I DESCRIBE IT IN TWO WAYS. ONE. THE DATA THAT WE REVIEWED ASSOCIATED WITH THE WATER QUALITY CONDITIONS UNDER THOSE CASES DID NOT FROM THE CITY'S RECORDS DESCRIBE ANY HEALTH CONCERNS. THOSE ARE AESTHETIC CONCERNS, BUT IT'S NOT TO NEGATE THE FACT THAT THOSE ARE SET OF CONCERNS ARE BY ANY MEANS. DISMISSED BY ANY MEANS. THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THESE RECOMMENDATIONS OF WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO MITIGATE ANY OF THOSE CONTAMINANTS COMING INTO THE SYSTEM AND THEN REMOVING ANY THAT EXISTS, RIGHT? AND OVER TIME, THOSE THINGS CAN BE MITIGATED SIGNIFICANTLY AND THOSE CONDITIONS WOULD NOT NEED TO PERSIST WITH WITH THOSE CHANGES AND THOSE STEPS BEING TAKEN BY THE CITY AND NEXT, THOSE NEXT STEPS THAT SO DO YOU THINK THE WATER BREAK? UM THAT WE EXPERIENCED LAST JUNE. CONTRIBUTED TO A LOT OF THAT.

INDEED SO THE TWO TIMES ON THE GRAPH THAT SHOWED WHEN THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF COMPLAINTS. SO IN JULY OF 2020, AND THEN AGAIN IN JUNE OF 2021 THOSE WE WOULD CALL THOSE HYDRAULIC DISRUPTIONS BASICALLY WHENEVER THERE'S A MAIN BREAK, AND A LOT OF WATER RUSHES OUT OF THE PIPES. WATER MOVES FASTER THROUGH THE PIPES AND ALSO CAN MOVE IN DIRECTIONS THAT ARE OPPOSITE OF THE DIRECTING. IT TYPICALLY FLOWS. AND BECAUSE OF THAT CHANGE IN DIRECTION AND OR INCREASE IN VELOCITY THAT CAN PULL ACCUMULATED. UM IRON AND MANGANESE USE FROM THOSE PIPES WITH AS IT CHANGES SO UNDER A STEADY STATE CONDITION, WATER IS JUST FLOWING LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES IN THE DIRECTION THAT IT DOES. IT DOESN'T DISRUPT THINGS. YOU CAN SEE IT ACCUMULATE OVER TIME. WITHOUT SEEING IT IN THE CUSTOMER'S TAB. BUT WHEN THERE'S A DISRUPTION TO THAT IT CAN CERTAINLY CAUSE THE RELEASE OF THOSE COMPOUNDS AT THAT TIME, WHICH WAS RESULT IN THOSE CONDITIONS LIKE YOU EXPERIENCE WITH CUSTOMERS SHOWING YOU THIS GLASS OF WATER IS UNACCEPTABLE.

SO THE SETTLEMENTS THAT ARE SITTING IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PIPES WHENEVER THERE IS A DISRUPTION. WITH THAT CAUSE THE SETTLEMENTS TO FLOAT. IT WOULD IT WOULD CAUSE THOSE COMPOUNDS AGAIN. IRON AND MANGANESE, MOST NOTABLY TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE WATER THAT IS FLOWING AND THEN COME THROUGH THE CONNECTIONS TO THE CUSTOMER. THAT'S WHY. THE LAST RECOMMENDATION IS A UNIT DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM THAT EFFECTIVELY DOES THE SAME THING AS THE MAIN BREAK AND THE HYBRID FLUSHING. BUT IN A WAY THAT EVACUATES THOSE CONTAMINANTS OUT. OF THE WATER SYSTEM INSTEAD OF INTO CUSTOMERS, HOMES SO WE KNOW THAT THOSE THINGS HAVE ACCUMULATED.

WE NEED TO EVACUATE THOSE AND GET THEM OUT OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SO THEY DON'T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF ENDING UP IN CUSTOMERS TAPS IF A DISRUPTION OKAY. THANK YOU. MEMBER FAILED SHAW THAN CAME TO MEMBER. SAMUEL JUST FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CITIZENS. COULD YOU ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THEY MAY HAVE WITH THE TREATMENT OF THE WATER WITH CHLORINE DIOXIDE? JUST HEALTH ISSUES BECAUSE ANYTIME YOU MAKE MENTION OF THAT, WE'RE GONNA PUT A CHEMICAL IN YOUR WATER AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO CONSUME THIS. UM I'M SURE OF YOUR ANSWER . BUT COULD YOU JUST CLARIFY THAT WITH OUR CITIZENS THAT THERE ARE NO HEALTH CONCERNS? HAPPY TO SOAK LAUREN DIOXIDE IS ROUTINELY USED. FOR THIS PURPOSE EXPLICITLY. THERE ARE COUNTLESS NUMBERS OF WATER UTILITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER IN THE STATE OF TEXAS THAT EMPLOY THE USE OF CORN DIOXIDE EXACTLY FOR THIS PURPOSE. AND SO CHLORINE DIOXIDE IS A COMMON WATER TREATMENT

[00:35:06]

CHEMICAL. IT'S SIMILAR TO THE OTHER DISINFECTANT OR OXIDATION PROCESSES USED. IT IS REGULATED BY BOTH THE STATE. REGULATORS FOR WATER SYSTEMS AS WELL AS THE U. S C P A AND WITHIN THOSE BOUNDARIES, WHICH IS THE WAY THAT THIS WOULD BE OPERATED. ABSOLUTELY SAFE AND IN FACT WOULD BE A TREMENDOUS BENEFIT TO CUSTOMERS TO BE ABLE TO MITIGATE THESE OTHER CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN AND I KNOW THAT THE FIRE HYDRANT YOU KNOW, TESTING CAN CAUSE THE SPIKE AND I KNOW WE'VE ASKED THIS QUESTION BEFORE WE HAVE ADDRESSED IT. AND SO THIS IS DIRECTED TO THE CITY MANAGER.

CAN YOU TALK JUST A MOMENT ABOUT THE PROTOCOL OF DOING THIS? AND WHAT CHANGES WE'VE WE'VE DISCUSSED IMPLEMENTING TO HELP. MITIGATE THAT ISSUE, SO IT DOESN'T JUST SHOCK OUR SYSTEM ALL AT ONE TIME, CHIEF WHITE IS HERE. I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO THAT. BUT I KNOW THAT LOOKING AT THIS DATA. OBVIOUSLY THAT WAS A REAL FACTOR IN CAUSING IN CAUSING THE DISCOLORATION OF THE WATER TO THAT END. I KNOW CHIEF. HAVE Y'ALL CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE DETAILS ON THE HYDRANT TESTING CHANGES? GOOD AFTERNOON. COUNCIL CITY MANAGER. YEAH. WE'VE TRIED TO COORDINATE WITH MIKE HARRISON MOLLY ON A REGULAR BASIS TO COORDINATE THOSE FLUSHING AND INSTEAD OF MULTIPLE AREAS ON OUR HYDRO FLUSHING, WE CONCENTRATE ON ONE AREA. FINISH THAT AREA AND THEN MOVE ON. TRYING TO B IS DIFFERENT. LESS DISRUPTED AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU, MAYOR.

THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBERS, SAMUEL. YES SO, UM, BACK TO? YES. THIS SLIDE ON IT. THE MAIN BREAK IN JUNE OF 2020. THAT. CREATED A DISRUPTION IN THE SYSTEM. WHICH, UM. IN THE SEDIMENT THAT HAD BEEN IN THE LINES. IT THEN BEGAN TO FLOW INTO THE HOMES AND EVERYONE ELSE WHERE AND AT THAT POINT UH WE WERE WE WERE DOING DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING. DURING THAT TIME. WERE WE NOT? SO BUT THAT JUST CONTINUED TO SOMEWHAT ENHANCE THE DISRUPTION IN THE LINES AS WE BEGIN TRYING TO GET IT OUT OF THE LINES, EXACTLY CORRECT. SO THE MAYBE IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT AROUND HOW FLUSHING OR UNIT DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING CAN BE USED TO MITIGATE THESE TYPES OF CONCERNS WHETHER IT'S BECAUSE IT CAN BOTH BE SEDIMENT AS IN LIKE YOU. IF YOU LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF A TOILET TANK, YOU MIGHT SEE ACTUAL SEDIMENT. YOU MIGHT FLUSH THAT OUT. AND THEN YOU MAY STILL SEE SOME THAT'S STILL ON THE SIDE OF THE TANK THAT WAS JUST ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OF THE TANK. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED MORE TYPICAL FLUSHING IS YOU'LL GET THAT LOOSE SEDIMENT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK OUT PRETTY READILY. WHAT'S ON THE SIDE TAKES A MORE AGGRESSIVE, MORE SPECIFIC UNIT DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING. AT VELOCITIES THAT ARE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY REMOVE IT AND THEN TO GET IT OUT OF THE SYSTEM. AND THE OTHER THING IS THAT IT ACTUALLY THE WAY THAT THE CHIEF DESCRIBED IT IN COORDINATION WITH PUBLIC WORKS IS HOW IT IS BEST DONE. TO DELIBERATELY ADDRESS HOW YOU MOVE FROM ONE SEGMENT TO THE NEXT, NOT JUST PUSHING IT AROUND BUT ADDRESSING IT FROM ONE SEGMENT TO THE NEXT AND SO THAT COORDINATION IS REALLY CRITICAL. AND THEN NEVER CALLED THE LAST PART. SO WITH WITH. STARTING THAT PROCESS. THERE CAN BE SOME RESIDUAL. CONTAMINANTS AFTER YOU'VE DONE THAT, AND IF IT'S NOT BEING ADDRESSED AT THE SOURCE WHERE THERE'S CONTINUED. WATER BEING SUPPLIED TO THE WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THAT STILL HAS IRON AND AGONIES. IT WILL CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE AND SO YOU CAN'T EVER QUITE CATCH UP, SO IT HAS TO BE TO REMOVE IT AT THE SOURCE. ONCE IT'S BEING REMOVED AT THE SOURCE EFFECTIVELY, THEN YOUR EFFORTS OF EVACUATING IT FROM THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM CAN REALLY START TO SUPPRESS THOSE CONCERNS OUT IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM BY GETTING RID OF BOTH WHAT WAS THERE AND NOT HAVING ANYTHING MORE TO REPLACE. WHEN RETURNING. FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK MY CARROTS PUBLICLY BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HELPING PRIVATELY, SO I WANT TO TAKE TIME OUT AND SAY THANK YOU APPRECIATE YOU BECAUSE WE CALL YOU ANSWER SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO EXPLAIN. YOU EXPLAIN IN A TIMELY FASHION, AND WE APPRECIATE THAT, OKAY? ABSOLUTELY UH, SECOND OF ALL, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW. THIS IS FOR STEPH. MAYBE BARDA. CHRIS CAN HELP ME WITH THAT. WILL THERE BE ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE FILTERS? SINCE WE KNOW WE NEED TO DO IT, AND IT'S ALREADY KIND OF BUDGETED IS SOMETHING WE'RE

[00:40:04]

LOOKING TO KIND OF GET BUDGETED. THERE'S NOT GOING TO BE IN ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR THE FILTERS. JUST UH WE'RE GOING TO NEED TO OPTIMIZE THE WAY WE OPERATE THOSE FILTERS ONCE WE START FLUSHING THE MANGO KNEES. WE'LL HAVE TO CLEAN THEM MORE FREQUENTLY. WE WILL HAVE TO GET TO A NEW OPERATIONAL STANDARD. ONCE WE ADD THE CHLORINE DIOXIDE BUT TO ADD THE CHLORINE DIOXIDE TO THE PLANT. WILL BE AN INVESTMENT IT'S ESTIMATED IN THE FINAL REPORT ROUGHLY AT $1.3 MILLION WE'VE DISCUSSED HAD SOME PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS WITH FREEZE AND NICHOLS NOW THAT WE HAVE THE FINAL REPORT WILL ENGAGE THEM FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES AND REFINE THAT NUMBER MORE EXPLICITLY TO SEE WHAT IT WILL COST. BUT THERE WILL BE AN INVESTMENT TO GET THE CHLORINE DIOXIDE AT PINE AND COUNCILMAN JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON WHAT MR BARR KODIAK WAS SAYING AND WHAT DR SEIDL WAS SAYING THE DRAFT PLAN HAS ABOUT 19 RECOMMENDATIONS, AND SO THIS IS AS MENTIONED IS NOT GOING TO BE A SILVER BULLET OR A QUICK FIX. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TERM PROGRAM. MAN THAT'S GOING TO TAKE MANY YEARS AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT TO HELP IMPROVE. JUST TWO MORE QUICK. THE NEXT ONE IS I NOTICED. WE SAID WE WERE HALFWAY DONE, BUT CLEANING OUT THE TANKS. WHEN YOU SAY HALFWAY CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME MORE SPECIFICS? HOW WE'RE LOOKING WITH THIS ALREADY STARTED PRODUCT CORONA COMING ON BOARD BECAUSE I MEAN HALFWAY SOUNDS GREAT, BUT I WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE HAD CAN ACTUALLY TAKE THAT SINCE THAT'S UNDER US. WE UM WHEN I AND MISS VILLE REAL CAME ON AND IN THE PUBLIC WORKS, WE LOOKED AND WE NOTICED THAT THE TANKS WE HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED AND QUITE SOME TIME SINCE THE LAST REHABILITATION AND SO WE INITIATED LAST YEAR, THE PROCESS OF CLEANING AND INSPECTING THE TANKS AS WELL AS WE REHAB THE WEST TANK. LAST YEAR. THAT'S FINISHED NOW WE WILL FINISH THE REMAINDER OF THE STORAGE TANKS THIS YEAR. SO IT SHOULD BE DONE BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ALL OF THE STORAGE TANKS ELEVATED IN GROUND , BOTH CLEANED AND INSPECTED.

AND THEN WE HAVE IN THE C I. P FOR NEXT YEAR TO REHABILITATE AN ADDITIONAL TANK AND THE PLANS ARE TO REHAB, PROBABLY ONE TANK A YEAR FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. AND THEN WE'LL CONTINUE TO CLEAN AND INSPECT TANKS ON EVERY OTHER YEAR BASIS EVERY TWO YEARS. AND ONCE WE CAN GET THE INSPECTION TWO YEARS AFTER THE INITIAL CLEANING, THEN WE CAN START TO JUDGE AND SEE WHETHER TWO YEARS IS THE RIGHT FREQUENCY. OR IF THREE YEARS MIGHT BE THE RIGHT FREQUENCY, BUT WE KNOW THEY HAVE TO BE CLEANED AND INSPECTED ON A ON A PERIODIC BASIS. WE JUST NEED TO DIAL IN THE EXACT NUMBER OF YEARS THAT'S OPTIMAL FOR US. AND MY LAST QUESTION IS NO. WE STARTED DIRECT DIRECTION OF FLUSHING PRIDE TO CORONA. BUT I KIND OF WANT TO KNOW SINCE YOU GUYS CAME ON BOARD, KIND OF WHERE WE'RE AT NOW HOW MUCH MORE PROGRESS WE HAVE MADE. AND YOU KNOW, JUST PERCENTAGE WISE OF WHAT MAY BE LEFT TO BE DONE BECAUSE I NOTICED MR HARRIS TOLD US YOU KNOW, PRIOR TO CORONA IS GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT. NOW VERSUS PRODUCT CORONA COMING ON. GOOD. FURTHER OUR UNIT DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT, AND WE'VE MENTIONED IN THE BACK. WE'VE DONE A LOT OF IN HOUSE, UH, DESIGN WORK. TO GET SOME, YOU KNOW, DIRECTIONAL, FLUSHING AND MOST PRONE AREAS. GOT THAT WE'VE IMPLEMENTED THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS WE NEED TO DO. AS FAR AS WHAT MR SADDLES TALKED ABOUT HERE IS A SYSTEM WIDE DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING PROGRAM. THAT WILL BE ACTUALLY TURNED OVER PROBABLY TWO CONSULTANT, FIRM OR ENGINEERING FIRM TO DO A FLOW MONITOR OF THE SYSTEM. THE BIGGEST THING WE NEED TO DETERMINE WHICH ACTUALLY DIRECTION THE WATER FLOWS FROM WHICH DIRECTION IT FLOWS TO THAT WAY, WE CAN DETERMINE EXACTLY THE MOST. EFFICIENT WAITED DIRECTIONAL FLUSH, WHICH VALVES TURN OFF WHICH VALVES WILL TURN ON TO GET THIS FLUSHING PROGRAM.

BUT AS FAR AS WHAT'S IT SMALL, HOT SPOT AREAS. WE'VE DEVELOPED OUR OWN IN HOUSE PLANT AND WE'VE HAD THIS. THANK YOU, MATE. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER DURIO. UH, JUST TO PIGGYBACK ON WHAT COUNSELING TURNER JUST AXED MIKE. OH, DOWN YET. IF WE CLEAR THE MEL MAYBE CONNECT THE MAGAZINE OUT AT THE SOURCE WILL BE A TIME WHEN WE DON'T HAVE TO DO AS MUCH, UH, MULTIDIRECTIONAL FLOWING. COOKED CORRECT ONCE WE GET IT STOPPED AT THE SOURCE. THEN WE CAN CONCENTRATE A LOT

[00:45:08]

LARGER EFFORT TO GET THE MAINTENANCE AND IRON OUT OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. HAS ACCUMULATED. GET RID OF WHAT THE ACCUMULATION IS THERE. IT'S A WHOLE LOT EASIER TO KEEP UNDER CONTROL LESS FLUSHING. WHAT YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO BE DOING FLUSHING IT JUST MAYBE YESTERDAY. NOT NECESSARILY BUT OF. THE MECHANISM, BUT WE ALWAYS HAVE TO BE FLUSHING FOR JUST KEEPING THE FRESH WATER IN THE LINES, KEEPING THEM FROM GOING BUNKER. SO WILL BE ABLE TO BE A TIME WHERE OUR CUSTOMERS WON'T SEE BROWN WATER. NO YOU KNOW IN THE FUTURE AS LONG AS WE KEEP DOING THIS, OR IF ANY OF THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN, WILL THEY JUST PROBABLY SEE HIM AGAIN? WHAT WERE THEY SAYING? THAT BEING SAID COUNCILMAN NOURIEL. I HAD ACTUALLY TALKED LAST NIGHT. FOR UH, COUNCILMAN GETS AT THE HOMEWORK ASSOCIATION MEETING. IMPORTANT NUMBERS TOGETHER BEFORE THE MEETING. OWN DISCOLORED WATER. FOUR. IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. WE'VE EXPERIENCED 26 DISCOVERED WATER COFFEE. IN THE LAST 30 DAYS. IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS. WE'VE ACTUALLY HAD SEVEN DISCOVERED WATER CALLS AND AS A FIVE O'CLOCK YESTERDAY, WHEN I PULLED THEM NUMBERS IN THE LAST 24 HOURS WE HAD TO SEE WE ACTUALLY HAD ZERO ON THIS COLORED WATER COLLEGE. WE PUT IN GREAT EFFORT IN THE FLUSHING THAT WE'RE DOING IN THE LAST YEAR, AND WE'RE SEEING RESULTS FROM THESE EFFORTS. STILL DO OCCASIONALLY GET DISCOLORED WATER COSTS AND WE DID GO OUT AND FLUSHED. I WOULD DO STILL HAVE HER MONTHLY END OUR WEEKLY ROUTINE FLUSHING THAT MY GUYS GO OUT AND DO THEIR YOU KNOW, EACH AND EVERY DAY. SO WHAT DO WE DO HAVE A FLUSHING, BUT WE'RE SEEING GOOD RESULTS FROM THIS ELECTION. WOULD WOULD YOU ADVISE ? I KNOW SOME OF OUR CITIZENS HAVE THEIR OWN PERSONAL FILTRATION SYSTEMS AT THEIR HOUSE. WOULD YOU HAVE? WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD ADVISE CITIZENS TO DO TO HELP WE THANK YOU SPOKE WHEN I SPOKE TO ONE OF THEM. I MEAN, HE HAD A THREE FILTER SYSTEM AND ONE OF THE FAKE FIRST PHASES OF THE SYSTEM. I THINK THE FILTER WAS WAS BLACK. PRETTY BAD SHAPE. YEAH. MAYONNAISE BUILD UP ON. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT HE DID NOT CHANGE THE FILTER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED. SO BUT AS FAR AS SPEAKING TO THE HOME FILTRATION SYSTEMS ARE REALLY. DON'T REALLY ENCOURAGE OR DISCOURAGE IT ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. THE THING THAT I WILL SAY IS THAT THE CITY OF BEAUMONT WATER IS TREATED. IT'S SAFE TO DRINK. IT SHOULDN'T NEED ADDITIONAL FILTER NATURE HOUSE.

THANK YOU, MIKE. BEFORE YOU BEFORE YOU SIT DOWN. COULD YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN? EXCUSE ME, COULD YOU EXPLAIN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. HOW THE CLEANING TAKE PLACE. CLEANING. YES FOUR IS ONLY LIKE THE FLUSHING? YES, MA'AM. THE WAY WE DO OUR NORMAL ER, DIRECTIONAL FLUSHING AND I'LL USE THE AREA AND ALWAYS LIKE THIS AREA BECAUSE IT WAS A PRETTY HOT SPOT LAST YEAR IF THE KILLARNEY BLARNEY AREA BIRDS SIMPLE. FLUSH. OF THE LINES ARE LEFT IN. THEY'RE ALL RUNNING PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER WOULD GO THROUGH THAT AREA. WE LOCATE THE VALVES. WE BASICALLY MAKE A DEAD END. WATER MAIN OF EACH LINE AT EACH SYSTEM, AND WE DO IT ONE AT A TIME WHEN WE ACTUALLY TURN THE VALVE OFF. WE OPENED A HYDRANT AT THE END OF THE LINE, AND WE THE NORMAL FLUSHING THE PUBLIC SEASON. WE LEAVE THE HODGINS GOING MAYBE AT ABOUT 100 150 GPM. WHEN WE DO OUR DIRECTIONAL FLUSH AND WE OPEN THEM UP. LEARN 5300 AND 50 GPM. BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO. WE'RE WANTING TO PULL ALL OF A SUDDEN IT OUT OF THAT LINE OUT OF THAT. YOU KNOW WE'RE WANTING. WE WANT TO MOVE SOME WATER. MOVE FROM SIDE. ONCE WE GET, YOU KNOW, WE FLUSHED THE WATER CLEARS UP. WE SHUT IT OFF . WE OPEN THAT SYSTEM BACK UP. DON'T MIND TOBACCO. THEN WE MOVE TO THE NEXT BLOCK. WE DO THE SAME THING IN THE NEXT BLOCK. UNTIL WE GET YOU KNOW THE WHOLE SYSTEM FLUSHED OUT AND CLEANED OUT. I THINK WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID, ALLUDING TO IS WE CAN DO THAT AND WE CAN KEEP DOING THAT.

WE CAN KEEP DOING IT. BUT ONCE WE GET STOPPED AT THE SOURCE YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE TO DO THIS. ALL THE AS FAR AS OUR REGULAR FLUSHING. WE SPEAK OF MONTHLY FLUSHING ROUTINE, AND WE'LL HAVE A WEEKLY FLUSHING ROUTINE. I HAVE 20 POINTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY. AND I MEAN FROM SOUTH NORTH EAST WEST HAVE ONE GUY THAT BASICALLY STARTS OUT MONDAY MORNING AT ONE POINT HE GOES SPECIFIC HYDRANTS, SPECIFIC LOCATIONS THAT WE KNOW THAT WILL DO THE MOST OPTIMAL

[00:50:02]

GOOD. HE FLUSHES THAT HYDRANT HE MOVES TO THE NECK. ALL THESE 20 POINTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY IN ONE WEEK. WHEN HE FINISHES UP THE WEEK MONDAY MORNING. HE STARTS RIGHT BACK TO THE OTHER POINT AND GOES RIGHT BACK THROUGH. WOULD THAT BEING SAID, WE ALSO HAVE 30 ADDITIONAL SPOTS THAT WE ALSO FLUSH THROUGHOUT THE MONTH, BASICALLY , SAME THING. IT'S A LITTLE BROADER OF AN AREA A LITTLE MORE FLUSHING AREAS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS, BUT UNTIL WE HIT BASICALLY, WE HIT THESE 50 POINTS. UH 20 OF THESE POINTS THERE HIT FOUR TIMES A MONTH.

THE OTHER ONES ARE HIT RELEASED ONCE A MONTH. THEN ON TOP OF THAT, WE ALSO HAVE OUR DEAD IN FLUSHING THAT BASICALLY REQUIRED TO T C Q. THAT WOULD GO OUT AND FLOOD. AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT T C Q IS TO THE PUBLIC PLACE COMMISSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY? THAT WAS WHAT REGULATES US. THAT'S OUR STATE REGULATION. REGULATING AGENCY FOR OUR WATER SYSTEM. AIR QUALITY AND THAT BASICALLY WHO ENFORCES RULES AND REGS OVER THE WATER PARK. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER GETS. FIRST, MIKE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR COMING OUT TO THE TELEWEST NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND THE MEADOWS. THEY HAD A JOINT MEETING LAST NIGHT. YOUR PRESENTATION WAS VERY INFORMATIVE, AND I THINK EVERYBODY TRULY ENJOYED IT. I KNOW I DID. I KNOW THAT SOMETIMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, PEOPLE WILL BASH THE CITY OF BEAUMONT WATER. UM AND THAT WHEN YOU GO BACK AND INVESTIGATE BECAUSE I KNOW Y'ALL DO GO OUT AND INVESTIGATE ANY TIME YOU GET A CALL. IT TURNS OUT THAT IT MIGHT NOT BE A CITY OF BEAUMONT PROBLEM, FOR INSTANCE, OURSELVES SOMEONE LAST WEEK. SAID THAT WHEN SHE TURNED ON OUR HOT WATER IT WAS BROWN AND SOMEONE ELSE ASKED HER WHAT ABOUT YOUR COLD WATER? NO, IT'S CLEAR. WHEN YOU GET A SITUATION LIKE THAT. WHAT DOES THAT INDICATE TO YOU? THAT INDICATES THAT THE HOT WATER HEATER AND. OVER TIME, YOUR HOT WATER HEATER WILL COLLECT SEDIMENT. WILL ALSO CORROSION RUST ON THE INSIDE. SO IF YOU'R, AND IT'S ONLY OUT OF ONE FALSE. IT'S ONLY ALL THE HOT WATER. I DIDN'T HAVE THE INCIDENT WITH THE LADY THAT WE'VE THOUGHT BACK AND FORTH SEVERAL TIMES THAT WE FIND IN CARMEN. IT WAS ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF HER HOUSE. AND DIDN'T SHE SAID, WELL, I'VE GOT TOO HOT WATER. WE'LL HAVE YOUR PLUMBER. CHECK IT, UH, THAT SETTLEMENT THAT CORROSION SIDE OF THE THING IT WILL BUILD UP AND THEN WHEN YOU TURN THE HOT WATER HEATER OR HOT WATER ON THE WATER COMES OUT OF THE HOT WATER HEATER AND GIVES YOU DISCOVERED WATER. SO THAT SAID A LOT OF TIMES. YOU KNOW, WE ASKED OKAY.

HAVE YOU CHECKED BOTH FAUCETS IS COMING OUT OF BOTH FAUCETS COMING OUT OF HOT WATER, COLD WATER. ARE YOU GETTING IT THROUGHOUT YOUR HOUSE? YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING THAT YET IF YOUR EXPERIENCE IS JUST COLORED WATER, BY ALL MEANS. PLEASE CALL US 311. YOU KNOW WE WILL DEFINITELY COME OUT AND CHECK IT. WHAT'S GOING ON? HERE'S SOME THINGS TO DO.

YOURSELF LIKE CHECK CHECK, RUN HOT WATER AND SEE IF YOU'RE GETTING DISCOVERED WATER THAN RUNNING COLD AND SEE IF YOU'RE STILL GETTING SIMILARLY, IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE CALLING WITH THE CONCERN ABOUT DISCOLORED WATER. AND YOU GO OUT TO THEIR HOUSE AND YOU CHECK WITH THEIR NEIGHBOR ON THE RIGHT AND CHECK WITH THE NEIGHBOR ON THE LEFT AND THE WATER'S FINE. WHAT? WHAT DOES THAT INDICATE TO YOU? BE JUST A SMALL PATCH OF THIS COLD WATER IN THE MHM COULD BE MORE THAN ONE TIME. THEN AGAIN, IT COULD BE IF IT'S AN OLDER HOUSE, MAYBE HAVE GALVANIZED HE COULD BE THE HOUSE LINES THEMSELVES. IT'S ACTUALLY CORRUPTED UP ON THE WELL, INSTANCE LIKE THAT.

WHAT? WE'LL PROBABLY FOR JUST A SAMPLE. AT THE HYDROGEN ON THE OUTSIDE THE FIRST HYDRANT THAT COMES INTO THE HOUSE WILL PULL THE WATER SAMPLE THERE. CHECK SEE WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DISCOLORATION. IF IT'S THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE, AND YOU'RE NOT GETTING INTO THAT FIRST HYDRANT, THEN CHECKS ARE THE SALONS IN THE HOUSE OR MAYBE CAUSING THE ISSUE. OKAY WE'LL FLUSH ANYWAYS, JUST TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT THAT SMALL PATCH IN A WHILE. AND FINALLY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STRUCK ME IN THE REPORT THAT WE GAVE HIM A MINDFUL THAT WE JUST GOTTA 10,000 FT VIEW, NOT NOT DOWN IN THE WEEDS, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON INFRASTRUCTURE OTHER THAN IMPLEMENTING THE CHLORINE DOCKSIDE. AH MECHANISM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE SUGGESTING UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING IN THE REPORT. I HADN'T SEEN THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DIG UP AND REPLACE A LOT OF WATER LINES. IT'S MORE OF A PROCESS THAT WE NEED TO FOLLOW, AND THAT IS VERY COMFORTING TO

[00:55:04]

HEAR BECAUSE IT'S NOT REALLY AN INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUE. AT THAT POINT, IT'S JUST WE NEED TO FOLLOW A PROCESS AND A PLAN IS THAT ACCURATE? YEAH, THAT WOULD BE OUR ASSESSMENT AT PRESIDENT NOW. CLEARLY THE NEED TO CUT OFF THE IRON AND MANGANESE FROM COMING INTO THE SYSTEM TO BEGIN WITH IS THE NECESSARY FIRST STEP. ONCE THAT'S DONE, THEN THE CONTINUED, YOU KNOW, IN HOUSE FLUSHING EFFORTS THAT MIKE AND TEAM HAVE BEEN DOING SO FAR WILL CONTINUE TO SHOW THE DEGREE TO WHICH THAT NEEDS TO CONTINUE. BUT THE UNIT DIRECTIONAL PROCESS THAT WILL GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. FROM SOURCE TO THE OUTER EDGES WILL INFORM THE DEGREE TO WHICH, UH, THOSE CONTAMINANTS ARE A PROBLEM AND IF THERE ARE ANY PLACES WHERE THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE IS TO THE POINT WHERE IT CAN'T BE, YOU KNOW, REMEDIATED, SO TO SPEAK, OR CAN'T BE ADDRESSED. UH YOU KNOW IF THERE'S IF THERE'S PLACES WHERE THE PIPES ARE CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM, BUT BY AND LARGE THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE IS, YOU KNOW, FROM WHAT WE HAVE SEEN IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH RESPECT TO THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S PVC LINES THAT AREN'T GOING TO BE LIKE COMMUNITIES WHERE WE'VE ADDRESSED THESE ISSUES WHERE IT'S OLD DUCTILE IRON PIPES THAT CORRODED THE POINT WHERE A 12 INCH MAIN ONLY HAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE A THREE INCH PASSAGEWAY IN IT. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT IN THAT SITUATION, SO I DO AGREE WITH YOU YOUR STATEMENT THE STATEMENT. WE DO HAVE OLD PARTS OF THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE OUR OWN PIPES AND IS HAS THAT BEEN INSPECTED TO BE DETERMINED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE AS WELL. OR THAT WOULD NEED TO COME AS A PART OF THAT AS A PART OF THAT, YOU KNOW, DIRECTIONAL FLASHING PROGRAM, SO THAT TYPE OF UNIT DIRECTIONAL PLAN AS MIKE DESCRIBED. IT'S A DESIGNED PLAN THAT STARTS AT THE SOURCE. SO ONCE YOU KNOW THE SOURCE IS CLEAR. AND YOU'RE USING FRESH WATER FROM THAT POINT THAT ISN'T GOING TO FURTHER INTRODUCE THOSE CONTAMINANTS TO THOSE LOCATIONS. YOU GO SEGMENT BY SEGMENT MOVING DOWNSTREAM. YOU RECORD A LOT OF DATA THAT HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH SEDIMENT OR HOW MUCH IRON ORANG AND HE'S COMES OUT FROM THOSE FLUSHING ACTIVITIES. HOW MANY TIMES IT TAKES TO GET TO YOUR STATED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES. AND THEN AS YOU MAP ALL THAT OUT, YOU'LL HAVE A SENSE OF THIS PORTION OF THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM THAT PVC LINES IN THIS PORTION. THAT'S DUCTILE IRON MAINS. THIS PORTION THAT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW OTHER PIPE MATERIALS. THE DEGREE TO WHICH THAT IS ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS OR NOT, UM, AND THAT THEN CAN HELP INFORM HOW THE CITY IS PRIORITIZING. PIPELINE REPLACEMENT, WHICH IS A PART OF YOUR PROGRAM ALREADY. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF AS I SAID, TO BEGIN WITH. YOU'RE DOING A LOT OF THESE EFFORTS ALREADY INVESTING IN YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE. THE QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO EVERY ONE OF THOSE EFFORTS IS THE DEGREE TO WHICH THAT HELPS ACHIEVE THIS PRIORITY BECAUSE EVERY STEP YOU TAKE CAN HELP IMPROVE THIS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER PHIL SHIP. YOU KNOW, IT'S ENCOURAGING TO KNOW THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE A PLAN AND WE'RE GOING TO WORK THE PLAN. SO THIS IS THIS IS ENCOURAGING. BUT DON'T WANT TO GIVE FALSE HOPE TO OUR CITIZENS CONSIDERING THE WATER THAT WE'RE PULLING. THERE'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE THERE. I MEAN, IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE GETTING CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER, SO THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT WILL ALWAYS DEAL. THAT WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. THAT'S CORRECT, CORRECT THE CONCERNS IN THE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM SHOULD DECREASE OVER TIME ONCE IT'S ADDRESSED AT THE SOURCE, SO GETTING TO THE POINT OF HAVING ADDRESSED IT AT THE SOURCE IS REALLY IMPORTANT. BUT ONCE THAT HAPPENS, THEN YOU KNOW ALL OF THE OPERATIONAL EFFORTS THAT HAVE BEEN ONGOING, SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECREASE OVER TIME AND THOSE GROW. I'VE WORKED IN COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY EXPERIENCED THE SAME DEGREE OF CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE, AND THEY'VE IMPLEMENTED THESE STEPS AND IT DOES PROVIDE RESULTS. COME BACK, YOU KNOW, MONTH AFTER MONTH OR QUARTER AFTER QUARTER AND SEE WHERE THOSE THINGS HAVE MADE THOSE IMPROVEMENTS AND MY SECOND SNAP OF THE FINGERS KIND OF RESPONSE. SECOND QUESTION WAS NOT REALLY QUESTION. IT'S A STATEMENT. THIS IS NOT TO EXCUSE ANYTHING. ANY BROWN WATERS UNDESIRABLE AND MUST BE ADDRESSED. BUT THIS IS NOT UNIQUE TO THE CITY OF BEAUMONT. WE HAVE SAID THIS MANY TIMES, BUT AGAIN, IT NEEDS TO BE SAID, AND THEY SAID AGAIN THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACROSS THE NATION WERE NOT THE ONLY CITY THAT ADDRESSES THIS ISSUE. CORRECT. THAT'S RIGHT. THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF REASONS WHY THESE COMPLAINTS CAN BE EXPERIENCED, AND THERE'S A LOT OF WAYS AND SO SOLVED THOSE PROBLEMS. THIS EFFORT HAS HELPED IDENTIFY HOW THE CITY IS ALREADY ADDRESSING THAT AND STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN BEYOND THAT TO ADDRESS YOUR OWN COMMUNITIES ISSUES AND THEY ARE ADDRESSABLE. THANK YOU. MIKE ONE LAST QUESTION. REMEMBER EARLIER IN THIS PROCESS SOME MONTHS AGO, YOU SAID THAT YOU BECAUSE OF HOW MANY VALVES THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY'RE LOCATED. Y'ALL WAS HAVING PROBLEMS LOCATING THE VALVES OR IDENTIFYING WHICH VALVE. CONTROLLED WHICH LINE HOW'S HOW'S THAT COME? ARE YOU

[01:00:02]

ALL DOING BETTER WITH THAT? SURE LOOKS SO WE MAKE OUR EFFORTS EVER DONE. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE YOU KNOW, DIRECT. FLUSHING PROGRAM OF THE AREAS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT WHERE WE WENT IN TO DO THIS DIRECTIONAL STEP NUMBER ONE IS TO FIND THE VALVE, LOCATE THE VALVES AND MAKE SURE THEY'RE OPERATIONAL. MAKE SURE WE KNOW WHICH VALVES OPERATE WHICH LINE SO I SAID, THAT'S THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE STEP BECAUSE WE GOT TO KNOW WHAT WE'RE TURNING OFF WHAT WE'RE TURNING ON OR LEAVING ON TO MAKE SURE WE GET OPTIMAL FLUSH ON YEAH, SO WE STILL WE DO GREAT EFFORTS ON FUN IN THESE VALVES AND LOCAL ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. COUNCIL PERMIT. THANK YOU, MR. UM MR. MANAGER. CAN YOU GIVE US A COPY OF THE FINAL REPORT? YES, SIR. THE MAYOR. JUST ONE COMMENT. FOLLOW UP. UM MR HARRIS, HIS GROUP AND MR BARR. KODIAK I WILL SAY IS HAS ALREADY STARTED ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES AND TRYING TO RESOLVE IT. AS MENTIONED THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE TIME. PART OF IT IS OUR EFFORTS ALSO IS TO INFORM THE PUBLIC AS WE GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS NOT TO MAKE EXCUSES FOR BROWN WATER DISCOLORED WATER BECAUSE WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT THAT. UM BUT WE DO HAVE SOME TOOLS OUT THERE ALREADY. THERE'S A DISCOLORED WATER COMPLAINT MAP. I THINK IT'S LIVE. NOW YOU CAN GO TO OUR CITY SITE AT ANY TIME AND SEE KIND OF WHERE THOSE WHERE THOSE COMPLAINTS ARE COMING FROM. AND THEN ALSO, OUR COMMUNICATIONS GROUP HAS ALREADY YOU KNOW, TRY TO GET THE WORD OUT AGAIN. NOT TRYING TO MAKE EXCUSES, BUT TRYING TO EDUCATE THE CITIZENS AND THEN TRY TO EDUCATE THEM ON HOW WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS BETTER. AND SO WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO BE ENHANCING THAT EFFORT AS WELL. THANK YOU AND AS UM, MR HARRIS SAID. IF YOU DO EXPERIENCE AROUND WATER, PLEASE CALL 311 AND LET US KNOW IMMEDIATELY SO THAT SOMEONE CAN COME OUT. OKAY? ANY OTHER COMMENTS. YES, I WONDERED OUTSIDE. ASKED ABOUT THE FIRST PART. IS ONCE UH, CHIEF WEITZEN , THIS AN AREA THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE FAR HIGHER PROTESTING IN WE DO HAVE THAT WILL COME ALONG. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
