Water treatment report: flushing program 45% complete; arc-flash study finished
Summary
Water plant staff reported the flushing program is roughly 45% complete through July and about 2.8 million gallons have been moved; an arc-flash study has been completed and staff described likely causes of localized 'rotten egg' odor complaints.
Danny, representing the water treatment plant, briefed the council on July operations. He said the flushing program was "roughly 45% complete" through July and the plant had moved about "2,800,000 gallons of water" during that work. Danny also reported that an arc-flash study had been completed after roughly a year and a half of work, thanking contractors for performing thorough location and tagging work.
In response to a mayoral question about a reported "rotten egg" odor, Danny explained those complaints are usually localized to a particular plumbing location in a home (a dried P-trap or a dishwasher drain not looped) rather than a distribution-wide contamination, and described typical remediation steps.
No further action was taken; the council thanked the water staff for the update.
