Events
Date of Event Event Description Water Quality Impacts
06/15/2017 pH level over 8.7 for short period of time (about 45 minutes) Increased pH level caused by temporary overfeed of caustic soda into system. (New caustic pumps were installed for WTP Expansion.)Overfeeding caught quickly, but short period of high pH water produced. No health issues or impacts on drinking water. No known impacts to industrial users reported. Notice Sent.
05/17/2017-06/02/2017 Iron flocculation in Fernhill Reservoirs Higher turbidity in Fernhill Reservoir due to iron floc. Media replacement in WTP filters identified as cause.

Big Wapato Pump turned off for remainder of season.  Little pump will continue to run as needed.

 TOC levels high due to Wapato and inflow from Carpenter Creek.  Impacts are higher because of dropping river levels and TVID turning off dilution release from Hagg Lake.
