Committee hears September pumping totals, static well levels and initial well‑monitoring results
Summary
The committee received September totals (3,112,000 gallons pumped; 1,115,000 gallons sewage), static water-level readings, monthly flow figures for March–July, and a draft summary of Friends of Sonoita Creek well-monitoring results; parts of the oral report were obscured by background noise.
Ron Robinson reported September system volumes to the committee: total pumped water recorded at 3,112,000 gallons and sewage at 1,115,000 gallons. He reported static water levels of the wastewater‑treatment-plant well at 13 feet, 1 inch, and the Sonoita/2nd Avenue well at 34 feet, 11 inches.
The minutes record monthly peak/average flow figures for March through July as: March, 2.5 million gallons per day (MGD); April, 2.6 MGD; May, .28 MGD; June, .46 MGD; July, .68 MGD. The record shows Tomas Goode was unsure what to report orally and that background noise from his office obscured parts of the oral update; Bill requested that Tomas provide an oral report to the committee every month.
Chris Gardner, identified as a hydrologist and PARA board member, presented a draft summary of the initial well‑monitoring results on behalf of the Friends of Sonoita Creek (FoSC) and said a PDF of the summary would be provided to the committee.
The committee did not adopt any new operational directives or make funding decisions on the basis of the figures presented; members noted monitoring and regular monthly reporting would continue.
