ADA Accessible Web Site

The District activated this new website in September 2024 which is ADA compliant.  All pages and documents in the new site have been checked for accesibility.

Upgrade to remote read meters

As older meters stop working they are being replaced with remote read meters.   The District is looking to accelerate meter replacements, particularly for those properties with difficult to access meters.

Infrastructure mapping

The district delivery and wastewater system was not adequatly mapped when it was developed back in the 1960s.  The District is acquiring GPS mapping equipment and mapping software to precisely document locations of service lines, valves, fire hydrants and curb stops.

Water Treatment Plant Display Panel

The display panel at the plantwas almost 30 years old and was identified as being antiquated and presented a risk to continued operations.  The District has replaced the panel with a state of the art touch screenHuman Machine Interface (HMI) panel.

Refurbish Water Filters at the Treatment Plant

The treatment plant has two large water filters; the District  refurbished one of those filters in 2024 and the other in 2025.  Work started on the first filter December 13, 2024 and the second filter was completed mid-2025

Lift Station backup generator

When there is a power outage our lift station shuts down and waste water overflows into a retention pond.  A few years ago during a 4 day outage that pond almost overflowed before power was restored.  We have reviewed bids for acquisition, installation, and periodic maintenance of a backup generator to automatically power the lift station during such outages.  Refurbishing the second water filter is a priority; if the 2025 budget allows, the District will start work to acquire the backup generator.

Periodic flushing of the water delivery system

Following a schedule, the District periodically opens fire hydrants to allow sediment to be flushed from the system.

Periodic flushing and video taping of sections of the sewer system

Based on video review, repairs to the sewer system are completed as necessary.

Curb Stop Locations

The District recently spent a couple years locating curb stops (the valve to turn off water supply to the house).  We have not been able to locate stops for approximately 30 homes because they have been covered by landscaping or driveways.
