Board meetings and strategic plans from Jefferson Water And Sewer District
The discussion focused on the operational procedures and challenges related to the redwater project, specifically concerning the five iron filters used to remove iron and manganese from the water. A speaker detailed the current practice of backwashing these filters sequentially between 2:30 PM and midnight to allow the resulting backwash water (sent to the redwater tank) eight hours to settle before being sent to the golf course. This timed approach deviates from the manufacturer's recommendation based on pressure gauge readings, potentially damaging the filter media, which was recently replaced at a significant cost. The original plant expansion plans included a second redwater tank and two additional sand filters to allow for proper settling time while maintaining operational flow, which is no longer being considered in the current, scaled-down improvement plans. The speaker is reviewing golf course contracts and intends to revert to manufacturer-recommended backwash procedures, which might temporarily affect the frequency of irrigation for the golf course until a solution, such as installing a second tank, is implemented and evaluated for return on investment. Additionally, the board was updated on efforts to evaluate potential new water sources in the area, with an analysis pending from geologists.
Key discussions during the meeting centered on crucial infrastructure and operational improvements. A primary focus was justifying the need for a new firehouse, detailing current high call volumes (averaging 70 runs daily) and poor response times in specific areas, including jurisdictional boundaries and transport issues. The board reviewed proposed locations for the new facility, noting issues with one potential site near a park due to neighborhood opposition and bureaucratic hurdles. Funding discussions involved authorization for a contract not to exceed $196,000 for replacing pumps at Roosevelt Field to increase pumping capacity to 9 million gallons per minute. Plant efficiencies were discussed, including reprogramming the system to run two transfer pumps simultaneously. Another significant topic involved capital improvements for the sanitary sewer system. This included authorizing contracts totaling approximately $73,000 for purchasing and installing generators, transfer switches, and control panels at various lift stations, many of which have outdated panels over 20 years old. The board is also initiating a comprehensive evaluation of the entire sanitary sewer system via an RFQ for an engineering firm, aiming to optimize flow and determine necessary improvements for the 2023 budget. Furthermore, action was required regarding manhole rehabilitation projects, authorizing a contract of $48,000 to line seven specific manholes identified on drawings, utilizing a material guaranteed for 10 years. Finally, an amendment to the employee handbook was discussed to define employment statuses (full-time regular, part-time, and seasonal) to facilitate the hiring of seasonal employees for hydrant painting and inspections.
The Board of Trustees of the Jefferson Water and Sewer District convened in a regular session. The primary action involved the approval of a resolution authorizing the District to contract and pay for a repair to a private water service line located at 8084 Ramseys Crossing Drive. The repair cost is set at $2,500.00, to be amortized over 12 months and added as monthly payments to the residents' water bill. The Board confirmed that all formal actions related to this resolution were conducted in open meetings in compliance with Ohio Revised Code requirements.
