Director’s Report
- The discharge water project at the treatment plant wrapped up in October.
- The District has been using very low levels of water at the treatment plant due to the drought, resulting in increased turbidity readings that may result in a treatment violation for the month of October that would require public notice. No good alternatives exist at this time, as the District’s lake is more than 15 feet below full at present.
- Advertising for the vacant distribution system operator position began in October.
- The New Bridge Apartment project appears to have decided to utilize existing City of Asheville water lines for their water needs.
- Two employees and the Director performed work in the watershed investigating stream levels and clearing downed trees from the access roads.
