Staff: recent storms pushed mid‑year rainfall high but treatment plant avoided violations
Summary
Staff presented a 10‑year rainfall analysis showing 19.2 inches in the past 30 days and 34.88 inches year‑to‑date through July 5; staff reported the treatment plant treated about 3,620,000 gallons per day during that period and recorded no permit violations or surcharges.
A staff member (speaker 2) presented a 10‑year rainfall analysis and storm summary, saying that the town's annual precipitation up to July 5 is 34.88 inches and that the previous 30 days produced about 19.2 inches — roughly 55 percent of the year's total by that date. The staff member also reported the treatment plant treated approximately 3,620,000 gallons per day during that 30‑day span.
Staff compared the current period to 2007–2008 floods and noted that while recent rainfall was large, the plant's flows did not match the worst historic events. The staff member stated there were no permit violations or surcharges during the past month, which they described as an indicator that stormwater handling has improved.
Council members asked clarifying questions about surcharges and compliance; staff confirmed no surcharges and reiterated that the plant had no exceedances during the referenced period.
