Fire Station #91

21696 Lake Wenatchee Hwy

Commissioners Present: Fred Guimond, Bruce Harris, Helen Deems (Quorum present)

Staff Present: Charlie Cruickshank, System Operator

Guests Present: Jeff Burgess, resident and developer of parcel 271718330200

Commissioner Guimond called the meeting to order at 11:00.

Commissioner Bruce Harris motioned to waive the reading of the minutes for February 10, 2022 and accept as written, Commissioner Fred Guimond seconded, motion passed.

Public Comments: Jeff Burgess asked to submit his Water Availability request to add 2 more meters to his property serviced by district (has 1 meter currently) property name – 3 rivers investments llc., Jeff Burgess. Commissioners agreed to accept the application request and review with Clerk (not present) and mail the availability notice response within a couple of days. Operations Manager discussed the location of mains and potential for tie-ins for the meters including Brown Road main and Fir Drive Main and possibly even Lake Wenatchee Highway Main because of the property location depending on where the parcel lines are drawn. Jeff said his plans are to do a

small subdivision – 2 additional meters for 2 additional parcels for a total of 3; He said he currently has a meter and is paid up to date on the parcel. He said he would like to hear back as soon as possible as he needs water availability in order to get short plat or boundary re-division and survey. .

Operations

Generator: Bruce said he still has had no contact with the contractor who installed the electrical feeds to the Kohler 38KW generator (First Choice Electric), but has been in contact with Brandon, the tech rep for the Kohler Supplier. Brandon is having difficulty assessing the electrical issues in order to establish financial responsibility and to start the repairs. Bruce reminded everyone that we are 1 of 5 systems on this particular FEMA grant that many are experiencing delays in labor, material and delivery and that this has impacted their completion schedule. Chelan County Natural Resource Department (CCNRD), the FEMA contract administrator, has said FEMA has agreed to negotiate an extension to the contract. Bruce said after conversations with others included in the FEMA grant that he believes the extension from FEMA 2018 agreement will be a COVID extension and it will be a 1 year from the March 3, 2022 expiration. None-the-less Bruce has asked Brandon to ask his Management about replacing all electronics or even the generator since we do not have a working generator in the very NEAR term; After a discussion it was decided that Bruce will ask for a write up of the probable cause for the generator failure, but Bruce will also wait for 2 weeks for next set of diagnostics report from Brandon. Bruce said that ultimately we need documentation with replacement costs and causes for us to seek claim on our insurance or seek replacement generator from Kohler (as a side note, Bruce revealed that the model generator we have is now out of production which increases the difficulty to get parts or replace). Helen asked if we can get a replacement generator of a newer model or even a different manufacturer based on FEMA’s grant or our insurance. Jeff Burgess volunteered that he thought Caterpillar a better brand with NC Machinery in Wenatchee for more local reps. Bruce will follow up with Brandon and his service manager to get something in writing stating what they believe the cause of the problem to be and determine if a replacement is possible.

Options for an additional Well:

Operations Manager, Charlie Cruickshank, said he is concerned that we are facing cavitation and a drawing down of the Brown Road well level combined with water bubbles and odor, which is not normal for this time of year. Jeff Burgess concurred that he has a well within a couple hundred feet from ours and he has experienced a low water table. Charlie’s conclusion is that we may need more water (ideally 20 gallons per minute?) to cover the area’s expansion and demand and that we should be looking into it now because of the length of the process. He suggested looking for properties that we can put a well on? Fred suggested taking from the dirty face falls or the lake however Charlie noted that water is considered surface water requiring a more intensive (daily) monitoring and treatment and approval from the state and that even a well close to the lake can be pumped dry. Charlie also said that he believes the state would prefer us to not use the Mountain Park system because it is only authorized as a class B system, up to 15 connections. They see the system well as under the influence of surface water. Helen suggested looking close to the existing wells and asking property owners to participate in the well search offering some incentive for selling us water if a well is deemed suitable. Commissioners agreed it made the most sense to look for wells near current infrastructure (pump house and main lines) so Helen agreed to draft a letter for the commissioners to review soliciting help from the appropriate property owners. Charlie agreed to contact Joe Woods the local “water dowser” for Tumwater Drilling to see what he would charge and when would be the best time to source water for a future well or from existing wells. Bruce said he also wants to make sure there is not a large leak that is going undetected and draining the water so he will do an early meter read and coordinate with Charlie on the pump house levels to see if there are some detectible discrepancies(other than known water leaks) before next meeting.

Bruce also suggested that commissioners (Fred/Helen) review well logs online from the Department of Ecology (DOE) to see what wells in our district stand out as larger producers. Fred reminded all that we have still have 0 hydrants revisiting the customer who had their house fire insurance cancelled. Bruce said the district could develop a new local improvement development plan (LID) to get new lines installed or upgraded through out and be able to add hydrants (meeting fire flow requirements). For time’s sake, that discussion was tabled.

Other System updates from Charlie: Charlie reported that the bubbles in water mean overdrawing water yield, and he lowered the input from the offending well and has not heard any other complaints.

Other Business: Monthly MEETING: Bruce asked if the meeting site has been reserved for future meetings. Fred said he would check to make sure we could reserve the fire station conference room for meetings every 2^nd Thursdays for at least 2 hours.

Sign WSRMP Agreement Bruce motioned and Fred 2^nd to approve the resolution (after Helen verifies with Bonnie (Clerk) the date and resolution number) as presented.

Customer A/R issues: New bookkeeper was unable to contact all past due customers last month. Helen will ask for clarification from Clerk/ Bookkeeper and determine if there is a needed resolution.

Commissioner Guimond motioned to waive the reading of the minutes for January 13, 2022 and accept as written, Commissioner Harris seconded, motion passed.

Public Comments: Customer #1151 expressed dissatisfaction with policy requiring base rate to be paid monthly, regardless of water usage. The commissioners stressed that the policy is in place to insure that the costs of running the system is covered, so that every parcel connected is guaranteed safe drinking water. These costs are incurred whether or not there is any water use.

Operations

Generator Install updates – Generator is still not operational. Commissioner Harris has spent most of the past 4 weeks contacting various people to determine if our grant can be extended and that is a possibility. He will advise once he gets a definitive answer. He’s also dealing with the tech at Power Systems West to have it diagnosed and fixed. The Kohler technician was there today, still unable to fix. He is now waiting for Kohler to send him some diagnostic software and will return with this software to assist in determining what the issue is.

Other concern re generator/propane tank/pump house: Commissioner Harris shared pictures of the excessive snow near the generator and covering the propane tank. While the January snowfall was unprecedented, he feels that some revisions may need to be made to avoid the snow build up around the air vents of the generator. Decision was to make due now, since the generator isn’t operational, but in the summer the commissioners need to come up with a solution before next winter.

Other System updates from Charlie –there has been some cloudy water and Sulphur odor complaints again; Charlie feels one of the wells must be captivating (causing the problem of capturing air and will look into it. He also will increase the chlorine to deal with the odor. Also, there were several customers that had leaks due to the excessive snow, which required the district to hire someone to dig out the meters for shut off. In every case the issue was the customer’s responsibility. Commissioners will review our policy before the next meeting to determine if changes need to be made as these costs for digging/determining leak source should be paid by the customer if they requested that the water service be turned off for them to isolate and fix their leak. In severe cold and snow conditions, a vacant home that has not been properly winterized can easily develop a leak as frozen pipes thaw resulting in the need to remove several feet of snow over the meter vault in order to shut off.

Operations

Generator Install updates – Commissioner Harris advised that Power System West technician installed a new relay and that was not the issue. Next step is for the technician to return when he can contact the Kohler factory while he’s onsite to assist in troubleshooting. Commissioner Harris also advised Hannah at the Chelan County Natural Resources Department (CCNRD) that the generator isn’t operational yet and asked about an extension on the Interlocal Aggreement FEMA-5182-19-R between LWWD and CCNRD. Hannah said we’d be put on the EMD list to extend and will let him know when that happens. She commented that other FEMA grant recipients have also been impacted by the parts and labor shortages in the COVID-19 environment.

Other System updates from Charlie – Our recent snowfall has left a significant amount of snow on the combined facility roof and there’s no place for it to slide off. Since Chelan County is under a state of emergency due to the snowstorm, we advised Charlie to contact anyone on our small works roster with a backhoe to assist in removing snow so there is room for the snow to slide off the roof.

Also, due to the many power outages, Charlie has discovered when the power comes back on, often the chlorinator doesn’t. This results in the sulphur odor getting to the customers. He will contact Clayton at RH2 to see if there is a SCADA setting that needs to be adjusted.

Administrative

Emergency Policy Update – Commissioner Deems provided an updated Emergency Management Plan. Commissioner Guimond motioned to sign Resolution 2022-01-13C to update the policy, Commissioner Deems seconded; motion passed.

The clerk duties will remain with someone in the Lake Wenatchee area, per the motion at the December 2021 meetings.

Once Evergreen takes over the bookkeeper duties, Bonnie will charge the district $100 for the clerk duties. She will charge $50/hour for training, but expects it shouldn’t be more that 4-5 hours for that. Commissioner Deems motioned to offer a 2-year contract to Evergreen Accounting, PLLC for bookkeeping duties, to begin on February 1, 2022, if our billing software can run on their PC; Commissioner Guimond seconded; motion passed.

Operations

Mtn Park Wellhead Leak – Leak has been repaired, it was located inside the well casing (rusted galvanized piping). Dickinson construction and Charlie dug and replaced with poly pipe and insulated the pipe as well. Hole in well house floor still needs to be repaired; Charlie intends to fill with vermiculite and concrete in the future.

Generator Install updates – All is complete, except generator will not run. Bruce has made many attempts to contact Power Systems West with regards to the issues with the generator and not having much luck finding who is responsible for repairing. He believes Power Systems West is waiting to hear back from Kohler as well, and as well as having difficulty getting parts – so for now we’re on hold. Commissioners decided that Bruce should contact someone above Power Systems West (Kohler) and First Choice and explain the issues and ask for help in getting the generator operational.

Snowplow Contract 2022-2023 – we have not received any bids. There is one business who viewed the locations and commissioners have decided to continue the meeting until December 1 at 11am to allow them time to submit. Commissioner Guimond will contact this business and advise them of this date.

Sprinkler Systems – Charlie contacted RH2 about system capacity for indoor sprinkler systems and whether or not our system customer meter size can handle it, and Ryan said we do have capacity but the current customer meter size was marginal. However, only the area of the fire runs the sprinkler system, each one is 4 gallon/minute so our meters might be too small to support, so he suggests that the homeowners upgrade to a 1” service line and 1” meter. Commissioners feel they need more information in order to decide how to address this.

Other System updates from Charlie – Lake Wenatchee reservoir’s outside cable gauge is broken. Charlie will need to repair, as it’s needed if SCADA is unavailable. Also a customer is having pressure issues, their static pressure is good but dynamic pressure drops when water is running in the house. This generally means there is an obstruction in the line, but since this is new(er) construction it’s probably poly pipe (not galvanized piping). He isn’t sure what to do to resolve this, unless there is something in the check valve so is planning on replacing it to see if that is the issue.

Administrative

January 2022 rate increase – rate increase voted in December 2019 will be implemented on January 1, 2022 as scheduled.

Decision will need to be made as to whether or not duties could be spread out among different people. Discussion tabled until the next regular meeting.

Emergency Policy Update Discussion: Commissioner Deems has started working on updating this policy and discussion ensued as to how to proceed. She will continue to research and will work with Charlie as well.

Operations

Mtn Park Wellhead Leak – there is a significant leak at the wellhead. Charlie thought that Tumwater Drilling would be able to fix on 10/14/21, but it was discovered that a galvanized joint, inside the well, is leaking. That has to be repaired before Tumwater Drilling can proceed. He has contacted Mike Dickinson to do emergency repairs on the joint, and then will have Tumwater back to finish the repairs. This hopefully will all be resolved in the next 1-2 weeks.

Wellhead Protection Mtn Park – no additional information has been gathered since the last meeting, so the decision was made that updating our emergency plan is the course of action at this time.

Hydrants – North Shore Drive – Commissioner Guimond spoke with Bob Plumb and his assistant about the requirement for sprinkler system on construction over 3,500sq feet or a hydrant within 500 feet, this is non-negotiable. A customer contacted us about installing a sprinkler system as a result of their addition/remodel triggering this requirement. Charlie will contact RH2 to determine if we are capable of providing enough water and pressure for a sprinkler system with the current meter installation. Charlie will report back at the next meeting and the Commissioners will discuss policy at this time, based upon this information.

Generator Install updates – A new front control panel circuit board was purchased and replaced by First Choice Electric prior to the Power Systems West technician conducting the initial startup and training on September 20th. Unfortunately, the generator was unable to be started prompting a Kohler diagnostic analysis being recommended. That was conducted on October 13^th Power Systems West is now attempting to locate other replacement parts that might have been damaged when the original front panel control board was damaged. We do not have a date yet as to when the Power Systems West technician will return to install these parts and get the generator operational. All other work on the generator site and installation has been completed.

New Connections – we received an application from parcel # 271718665000 along with the connection fee and deposit for the meter/vault installation.

Commissioner Harris moved to accept this application, Commissioner Guimond seconded; motion passed.

Operations

Generator: Very close to full completion, fence has been installed around the propane tank per homeowner’s instructions. Electrical has been installed and Power Systems West will come on September 20, 2021 for setup and training. There is an issue with the circuit board that requires replacement. First Choice Electrical and Power Systems West are coordinating on this as it’s either a warranty issue or the fault of the electrical installation.

Hydrant Install – North Shore Drive: Steve Booher (architect) presented a request to install a hydrant near a property remodel to assist in fire suppression. Charlie explained that our system is not designed for fire flow and that the hydrants currently in place on the road are flushing / sampling stations located at the end of the water mains. We don’t have the size piping and pressure required to meet flow requirements throughout the system. LWWD would need to require the developer to potentially install a minimum of 900ft of new piping replacing older under-capacity water mains. Otherwise, damage could occur to this existing smaller piping that was not replaced in the 2015 upgrade. Homeowner inquired if our system would handle an internal sprinkler system. Charlie said it would, but a larger meter and service line would need to be installed. Commissioner Guimond told Mr. Booher that he would do more research and will hopefully have new information to make a decision at the next public meeting.

Wellhead Protection – Mt. Park: Commissioner Deems spoke with 2 people at PUD to find out what systems they have in place if there is a power outage and the holding tank overflows. The response was that PUD does have a tank on a trailer to put in place if necessary, but that it’s ultimately the homeowner’s responsibility. Discussion on options to protect wellhead, including expanding our emergency management plan to including a process with the PUD. Commissioner Deems suggested that the discussion to be tabled until the next meeting, all Commissioners agreed. .
