| Details: | SUMMARY: Problems with Water Meter DETAILS: The City of Scappoose owns and operates a Surface Water System, which supplies approximately 5,800 people through 2,000 connections. The City treats from multiple creek sources. In addition, water provided through 2 wells. HBH was contacted by the City to provide assistance with a contact tracer study. When discussing the study, it was determined that a hydraulic condition at the surface water treatment plant would potential interview with the testing. I assisted Mr Lewis with the City in diagnosing the problem with the ultra sonic water meter. It appears there is not laminar flow over the meter due to the introduction of air into the system. Recommendations were made to repair the purge valves on the filter beds that have been turned off. Also, all broken pipes that could introduce air into the system should be repaired. ACTION NEEDED: Follow up on repairs as requested by City. | ||
