MR. WRIGHT STATED THERE WAS A STUDY AND THE ENGINEERS RECOMMEND <br />THAT THE ONLY SOLUTION WOULD BE TO COMPLETELY REPLACE ALL THE MAINS IN <br />THE ROCKRIDGE AREA. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF ANY OF THE MAINS WERE DUG UP <br />AND INSPECTED, AND MR. WRIGHT COULD NOT SAY FOR SURE, BUT FELT THE <br />ENGINEERS WERE QUITE.CERTAIN OF THE CONDITION OF THE PIPES. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED WHEN THEY PURCHASED THE SYSTEM, <br />WERE THEY AWARE OF THE CONDITION OF THE PIPES AND WAS THERE ANY PROVISION <br />EVER MADE FOR UPGRADING, <br />MR. WRIGHT STATED THAT THE ONLY PLANS THAT HAVE ACTUALLY <br />BEEN PUT INTO USE IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE PLANT OFFICE AND VALVES <br />ON ALL OF THE DEAD -ENDS SO THAT THEY COULD FLUSH EVERY MAIN IN THAT <br />SYSTEM. HE STATED THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY FELT WAS THE MOST PRUDENT <br />THING TO DO IN 1974, AND IT WAS DONE AND THEY MAINTAIN A SCHEDULE OF <br />FLUSHING, HE COMMENTED THAT SINCE ATTENDING THIS MEETING HE HAS <br />LEARNED THAT THE WATER IS CLOUDY AND DOES SHOW RED AT TIMES. THE <br />FLUSHING WAS DESIGNED TO PREVENT THIS, AND THE PEOPLE TODAY HAVE SAID <br />THAT SINCE WE ARE HERE LOOKING FOR AN INCREASE, THE WATER HAS MAGICALLY <br />CLEARED UP. HE FELT THIS INDICATES THAT THE FLUSHING WILL DO THE JOB. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED WHENEVER A UTILITY COMPANY EITHER <br />'CONSTRUCTS A NEW UTILITY OR PURCHASES AN OLD ONE, ARE NOT CERTAIN <br />CAPITAL EXPENSES ANTICIPATED? <br />MR. WRIGHT AGREED THAT THEY WOULD ANTICIPATE HAVING PROBLEMS. <br />HE NOTED THAT THEY DUG TWO NEW WELLS, BUT ADMITTED THAT THIS DOES NOT <br />RELATE TO THE QUALITY OF THE WATER, <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED MR. WRIGHT TO GIVE HIM A SCHEDULE <br />OF HOW OFTEN THE SYSTEM IS FLUSHED, <br />IRA MCALLISTER, WHO WORKS FOR GENERAL WATERWORKS MANAGING <br />THE MID -FLORIDA SYSTEM, CAME FORWARD AND STATED THAT HE FLUSHED THE <br />LINES ON THE 24TH AND 25TH OF AUGUST, AND HIS SCHEDULE DOES NOT CALL <br />FOR IT TO BE DONE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER THREE WEEKS, HE NOTED, HOWEVER, <br />THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE FLUSHING ALL THE DEAD -ENDS IN THE SYSTEM, <br />JUST THE MOST IMPORTANT AREAS. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED HOW OFTEN THE WHOLE SYSTEM GETS <br />FLUSHED. <br />19 <br />SEP 141977 1 <br />ma 31 FAJF 48 <br />
