Details: SUMMARY: Operator changes. Electronic controls have been repaired DETAILS: Trevor Lewis has resigned as operator, and David Sanders who has worked with Trevor is the interim operator. Jake Jones, DRC operator has also resigned and the City needs to find a certified operator to contract with. The RUGID brand control unit has been repaired by Calvert Tech (of Spokane) and now the automatic controls that operate the treatment plant are working again. The chlorinator is actually operated by the contact tank flow transducer rather than the pipeline flow switch. So, the chlorinator is now turning on and off correctly. David Sanders is making sure that a good chlorine residual is maintained throughout the distribution system. ACTION NEEDED: City to find DRC operator to contract with.
