BULK WATER DISPENSER -AUTHORIZATION TO MODIFY:
Director Widmer presented a proposal to modify the bulk water
dispenser located at the Park Shop Facility.The dispenser is
coin-operated;25/60 gallons.During the past,major expense
has been incurred due to all the associated connections being
located outside the building.By installing such connections
inside the building it is anticipated maintenance will be
minimized.The coin dispenser will not be eliminated;however,
the procedure for the frequent bulk customer will be modified.
Four switches,attached to an electric timer will be installed.
Each switch will be key-activated.By paying a deposit fee of
approximately $25.00/key,the bulk user would have access to the
dispenser.Counters,also attached to the switches,will be read
each month and the Town will invoice each bulk customer
possessing a key.One (1)water meter will be installed which
will provide the total gallons of water being dispensed each
month.A pressure vacuum breaker will also be installed to
prevent cross—connections.To date,the dispenser has generated
$2,150 in revenue.An estimated expenditure is $1,400;however,
various materials,in the amount of $900!,are in—stock.Follow
ing discussion,the Committee recommends approval of the request
to modify the bulk water dispenser.
REPORTS:
81%of the water was accounted for during November.The Depart
ment has increased the number of bleeders to prevent the water
mains from freezing.
Design drawings for the Cascade Diversion Structure have not been
received.Due to the National Park Service requesting a 30—day
extension,the Corp of Engineers has not issued a “404 Permit”.
The Town is required to obtain such a permit prior to con
struction of the Diversion Structure.No further action was
taken at this time.
Those agencies requesting a bulk connector water rate have been
advised of the rate which was approved by the Committee November
13,1986.Town Attorney White is in the process of preparing an
Ordinance for consideration by the Board of Trustees.
Mr.David Coleson has been hired to fill the position of Water
Maintenance Supervisor.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned.
