Summary

Staff reported recent fireflow testing and improved capacity, discussed grant-funded elements and a request to add Tahoe Cedars metrics to project dashboards, and described monthly sewer cleaning schedules supported by their CMMS and Granite Network inspection system.

Committee members and staff discussed several operational topics affecting maintenance and public information. Staff said recent fireflow testing showed improved capacity in problem dead-end areas and credited grant funding for partial support of some improvements. "We did some Fireflow testing," a staff member reported, and others noted the upgrades delivered "greater than 1,000 GB in the box" for some infrastructure.

Members discussed adapting the district dashboard to include Tahoe Cedars project metrics so the committee and public can track outreach and application counts. Staff said the district’s CMMS and Granite Network inspection tools are used to schedule monthly sewer cleaning with targeted higher-frequency service for problem lines; schedules can be modified when staff identify areas needing extra attention.
