B. CONSENT CALENDAR (None) C. PUBLIC COMMENT John Freeman, Cal Water reported their office has received a number of calls from customers regarding taste and odor of the water. Mr. Freeman was interviewed by KCRA 3 News and advised that the District may be called to conduct an interview. Mr. Freeman reported Cal Water is investigating each call received over the last couple of weeks regarding the reported issue. Mr. Freeman reported Cal Water has activated their groundwater sources to alleviate this problem. Manager Moody provided the Board with a handout of the statement Cal Water posted to their website regarding the taste and odor of the water. Manager Moody reported an algae bloom has occurred over the last couple of weeks. Algae blooms occur irregularly about every 3-5 years, and there is an algae bloom in the canal downstream of Farmington Dam. Manager Moody reported some pumpers have had to stop pumping because the algae is clogging pumps. Manager Moody reported the District has taken steps to mitigate this issue, including increasing the chlorine dosage and pumping the algae from the water where it pools together. Manager Moody reported normal turbidity for the plant is 2 and peaked at 18. It is currently down to 8. DRAFT Manager Moody reported it is a naturally occurring algae and staff believes they have identified what it is from the samples that have been pulled. After treatment, the water is safe to drink; it just has an earthy taste and odor. Director Cortopassi inquired if it would be better to use water from New Hogan during this time. Manager Moody replied likely not because of the heat. Assistant Manager Johnson added staff does not think switching water sources will make a difference. District Engineer Lee added there is still currently the ongoing issue with the Alum Tank. If the District was to switch Board Meeting 08/07/18 1 Draft 1
