Details: | SUMMARY: FUNDING ASSISTANCE DETAILS: The City of Amity owns and operates a surface water treatment system. The water system serves 1460 persons through 600 connections. The Circuit Rider was contacted by OHA staff to assist the City of Amity with corrosion control issues. The City of Amity has experienced exceedences of the Copper Action Level in 2008, 2012, 2013 and November 2015. The water treatment plant currently uses soda ash for corrosion control, but the appropriateness of the system should be reevaluated. The Circuit Rider had previously provided the City of Amity with recommendations for improving the performance of the soda ash feed system. This included the temporary (and potentially permanent) relocation of the soda ash feed injection point to after the high service pumps. The City requested that the Circuit Rider provide assistance with the application for emergency funding for the corrosion control improvements. Corresponded with City staff and USDA regarding emergency funding. Provided assistance with project description and cost estimation. ACTION NEEDED: Assist with completion of the Funding Application |
