WEBVTT 00:00:00.898 --> 00:00:09.546 - We call the meeting of the utility services board for June 1st, 2026 to order. We have several good 00:00:09.546 --> 00:00:18.281 - agenda items today and let's get started with petitions and communications from the public. Yes. And 00:00:18.281 --> 00:00:27.102 - if you'd like to come on up, you're welcome to come to the podium and state your name for the record. 00:00:30.850 --> 00:00:38.399 - Good evening. My name is Mary Ann Faday and my husband and I have owned the property at 501 East Cottage 00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:46.235 - Grove for well since 1992 and Lately we've had this horrible Flooding in the basement. I mean like excrement 00:00:46.235 --> 00:00:53.568 - and everything coming out of the commode and all that sorry I mean we've never had that kind of issue 00:00:53.568 --> 00:01:00.542 - in all these years and so I I know something has changed I just don't know what and I would like 00:01:00.642 --> 00:01:07.755 - Dave Kerber, our property manager, to discuss his findings, because we live in Carmel now, and Carmel 00:01:07.755 --> 00:01:14.729 - Westfield. So he's been taking care of the damage and keeping me apprised of it, and sent videos. I 00:01:14.729 --> 00:01:21.772 - know he sent some videos to some of you. And really, we need to do a lot of cleanup. Well, cleanup's 00:01:21.772 --> 00:01:28.606 - been done, but the repair, damages and everything. And we need to know when we can start and what 00:01:29.634 --> 00:01:36.549 - what's involved and when we can get an answer about whether or not the city is responsible for this 00:01:36.549 --> 00:01:43.671 - or not. So I'll let Dave talk about it. Yes. I don't think I've emailed any of you directly. I've been 00:01:43.671 --> 00:01:51.070 - emailing. I didn't recognize any of the names. But with this has happened now about seven times this year. 00:01:51.170 --> 00:01:57.785 - We just started taking over the property in August, so I can't speak too far to before that. And they've 00:01:57.785 --> 00:02:04.337 - just been smaller little backups that have been sort of under control. This last one on the 20th, which 00:02:04.337 --> 00:02:10.637 - sort of prompted us coming in here today. I sent videos to the three folks that we had. I can't get 00:02:10.637 --> 00:02:13.598 - all the names. Phil, James, and somebody else. 00:02:14.146 --> 00:02:19.054 - colleges only anyways this was this was more an introductory was recommended we come bring it up to 00:02:19.054 --> 00:02:24.159 - the board here to kind of get the ball rolling because something has changed if it didn't happen before 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:29.264 - and now all of a sudden it's back and anyways the tenants have had to move out we had to rip the entire 00:02:29.264 --> 00:02:34.172 - place apart so there are some definite losses there and the biggest thing for us is we want to know 00:02:34.172 --> 00:02:39.326 - that moving forward this isn't going to keep backing up the way it is there was a gentleman that came by 00:02:39.458 --> 00:02:45.964 - I do appreciate that in a truck, the truck with the camera on the side of it, which is awesome because 00:02:45.964 --> 00:02:52.596 - it tells you what that truck is doing. But he said they weren't sure if they'd found a chunk of concrete 00:02:52.596 --> 00:02:59.102 - in the storm line. They didn't know if it was fiber optic lines that had punched through the storm and 00:02:59.102 --> 00:03:05.735 - somehow they were connected. They didn't know when they were out there the other day. They thought maybe 00:03:05.735 --> 00:03:08.830 - there had been a water main that had been busted 00:03:08.930 --> 00:03:14.439 - which would be amazing to me because that corner has been a symphony of sump pumps for over 10 years, 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.894 - and maybe they did find that piece of it because now the sump pumps have all stopped since they were 00:03:19.894 --> 00:03:25.348 - out last week, so I think that could be a piece of it. Somebody else when we had called in said that 00:03:25.348 --> 00:03:30.965 - it could be because the capacity of it is less because everything's being lined as opposed to replaced, 00:03:30.965 --> 00:03:36.690 - and so you'd start factoring all these in with the new things being built. Anyways, something has changed 00:03:36.690 --> 00:03:37.662 - to the point that 00:03:37.826 --> 00:03:44.166 - It flooded. They've all moved out. We've had to rip the whole place apart. And we kind of want to, before 00:03:44.166 --> 00:03:50.386 - we go putting it all back together, have some concrete answer as to is somebody looking at it? Because, 00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:56.666 - you know, our last few emails, nothing, we haven't heard anything back. We recognize it's just one unit. 00:03:56.666 --> 00:04:03.006 - You know, it's one house. It's not a big old building. They offered us a check valve. But to their point, 00:04:03.298 --> 00:04:09.388 - Check valve makes essentially the four units there completely inoperable when it rains. Nobody could 00:04:09.388 --> 00:04:15.538 - use the water at that point because you can't. It basically just shuts the door on it. So I recognize 00:04:15.538 --> 00:04:21.688 - none of you guys have answers here today. And we're just putting it on the radar. But we've got about 00:04:21.688 --> 00:04:28.139 - a two-month run here, obviously, before the next group comes in. And we just want to know that something's 00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:31.998 - being done so that we don't have this situation again. So yeah. 00:04:33.282 --> 00:04:40.008 - Go ahead, sure. So just a fact. I'm also concerned about being compensated for this, because it's not 00:04:40.008 --> 00:04:46.668 - our fault. Everything in the house has been up to speed. We've done everything we're supposed to do, 00:04:46.668 --> 00:04:53.327 - the plumbing and everything. So now, it sounds like it's a city issue, but I just don't know. I just 00:04:53.327 --> 00:05:00.185 - would like to know if we could be at least compensated for the damages, because they're getting up into 00:05:00.185 --> 00:05:01.438 - the thousands now. 00:05:02.946 --> 00:05:10.633 - Anyway, thank you for listening. Great. We appreciate you coming by, because it's always good for us 00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:18.396 - to be as responsive as we can to our customers. And sometimes for us to know where our issues are are 00:05:18.396 --> 00:05:26.007 - a good thing for the board. Mary Ann, could you spell your last name for me? I need to get that for 00:05:26.007 --> 00:05:30.878 - the record. F is in Frank, A, D, like David, A, E, like Edward. 00:05:32.482 --> 00:05:41.410 - And David, what's your last name? K-E-R-B-E-R. OK. I got 501 East Cottage Grove. And it's a single family 00:05:41.410 --> 00:05:50.169 - home or? Well, it's a single family home that at some point in time, you would know better than me that 00:05:50.169 --> 00:05:57.918 - there's efficiencies on the back of it. But essentially, the original house is still there. 00:05:58.242 --> 00:06:04.818 - But the previous owner, when we bought it, had already put three efficiencies attached to the back of 00:06:04.818 --> 00:06:11.716 - the house. So essentially the kitchen window above the sink and all that was closed and three efficiencies 00:06:11.716 --> 00:06:18.293 - backed on it. It's been there a while. It's not a rebuilt. So I mean, that happened when we bought it 00:06:18.293 --> 00:06:23.966 - in 1992. So I don't know how much earlier he had done that, but that's how we found it. 00:06:24.482 --> 00:06:30.357 - What's the nearest cross street there? It's at Dunn and East Cottage Grove. Where? Dunn? Dunn. So just 00:06:30.357 --> 00:06:36.574 - north of Penn Street. It's right on the corner of the intersection. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of challenge 00:06:36.574 --> 00:06:42.449 - to it. You stand there, there's a hill coming down from all, you know, we don't know if it's the storm 00:06:42.449 --> 00:06:47.582 - water is, I mean, you open the lid and it is a whitewater rapids in the sewer system, so. 00:06:48.002 --> 00:06:55.350 - Either the sewer system is getting inundated with storm water or people are pumping the water in there. 00:06:55.350 --> 00:07:02.698 - I mean, I think it's probably a whole bunch of different factors, but it's definitely a big change from 00:07:02.698 --> 00:07:09.834 - what it has been. Obviously, they hadn't had this happen before. One thing that could help is if you 00:07:09.834 --> 00:07:17.182 - notice any particular events or times that this happens now pretty much any time we get a rain of about 00:07:17.666 --> 00:07:24.880 - An inch and it does I mean again that that that little spot I think it's just a natural drainage point. 00:07:24.880 --> 00:07:32.024 - But to where you know it won't rain for 48 hours and those pumps are still I mean it's just every pump 00:07:32.024 --> 00:07:33.758 - in that neighborhood is. 00:07:34.434 --> 00:07:41.436 - pumping water into the streets. Well you said it was affecting one unit but have have you confirmed 00:07:41.436 --> 00:07:48.437 - other issues in neighboring properties or have you spoken to any of the neighboring property owners 00:07:48.437 --> 00:07:55.859 - about this? I know that a few months ago Horn in the property next door they were having plumbing issues. 00:07:55.859 --> 00:07:58.590 - You know the first thing we did we had 00:07:58.978 --> 00:08:04.293 - Paul Young plumbing came out. They camored the whole thing confirmed that there was no no first time 00:08:04.293 --> 00:08:09.556 - we did it We thought it was just a blockage whatever the next time it rained it happened again They 00:08:09.556 --> 00:08:14.871 - came back out and they said we put the camera down there nothing in it clear all the way I mean they 00:08:14.871 --> 00:08:20.239 - ran the thing a hundred whatever plus feet couldn't find anything they were into the into the main So 00:08:20.239 --> 00:08:25.502 - there's nothing jumping out as to is an obstruction like I say the gentleman who had come out and I 00:08:26.210 --> 00:08:31.681 - wish I had gotten his name. We had a lot happen in that day, but that Friday after it happened, 00:08:31.681 --> 00:08:37.380 - the 22nd. Said that he had spent the day before, and they were looking at Cameron. He couldn't tell 00:08:37.380 --> 00:08:43.307 - if there was a random chunk of concrete that had gotten into the system that could be restricting flow. 00:08:43.307 --> 00:08:49.405 - We had a number of laterals that were punched through with the whole fiber optics up and down 10th Street. 00:08:49.405 --> 00:08:51.742 - It took about a year to rear their head. 00:08:52.226 --> 00:08:59.023 - So anyway, so I don't know. It could be a whole bunch of different things. And I know that they had 00:08:59.023 --> 00:09:05.887 - started to look into it. We just haven't heard anything. And this rose now to the level of everybody 00:09:05.887 --> 00:09:12.820 - moved out. So well, we weren't really livable. So we just want to make sure that. So we lost rent and 00:09:12.820 --> 00:09:16.830 - plus the cost of repair. Yeah. Well, thank you both. Sure. 00:09:17.026 --> 00:09:24.786 - I guess the biggest thing is we recognize you don't have any answers today, but in terms of moving forward 00:09:24.786 --> 00:09:32.038 - to be able to understand what's happening, should we provide you information or should we reach out 00:09:32.038 --> 00:09:39.290 - to somebody? Since we've got your names and addresses and what we'll do is talk with staff and make 00:09:39.290 --> 00:09:44.222 - sure that we're continuing to check and figure this out. So we will 00:09:44.546 --> 00:09:51.512 - Guarantee we'll get back in touch, because we realize that the cycle of things that happen, you may 00:09:51.512 --> 00:09:58.478 - have new residents in August you'd like. And we like to get these things fixed. We'd like to have a 00:09:58.478 --> 00:10:05.514 - result for you. Of course. Do you have an answer this week, this month, something? Just know what to 00:10:05.514 --> 00:10:12.062 - do. Well, we'll do our best. It's hard for me today to tell you where we are in the schedule. 00:10:13.122 --> 00:10:24.136 - Do you need my home address? Because that's the real problem. They've got it with him. Oh, okay. 00:10:24.136 --> 00:10:35.831 - Thank you. Thanks for coming in. We appreciate it. We'll get to work on it. Thank you. Okay, next item 00:10:35.831 --> 00:10:41.054 - on the agenda is the approval of minutes from 00:10:41.442 --> 00:10:51.032 - the meeting on May 18th. We had a chance to take a look at those. Rachel, you know, one thing I would 00:10:51.032 --> 00:11:00.435 - might help us a little bit as I was reviewing them. When Kevin White's presenting, we might want to 00:11:00.435 --> 00:11:04.478 - put Kevin White and even though you've got 00:11:04.930 --> 00:11:12.897 - staff member. Well, even if we put K in, it doesn't work. And a lot of people call me Kevin or Kurt 00:11:12.897 --> 00:11:20.864 - or whatever, you know, so you might just want to because I don't want to take credit for all of his 00:11:20.864 --> 00:11:28.911 - good work. Might help a little bit because years from now, we'll know the difference, right? I'll be 00:11:28.911 --> 00:11:33.054 - doing something else. Who knows where, right? Okay. 00:11:34.530 --> 00:11:43.683 - Any other additions or corrections to the minutes? I entertain a motion to approve. I move we approve 00:11:43.683 --> 00:11:53.106 - the minutes of the last meeting. Second. It's been moved and seconded. All in favor say aye. Aye. Motion 00:11:53.106 --> 00:12:00.734 - carries.

Any questions on standard invoices for these couple of weeks? I 00:12:14.251 --> 00:12:26.187 - have a curiosity. I know we paid us to have our sledge hauled, and maybe I asked this before, but where 00:12:26.187 --> 00:12:31.582 - does it go? It goes to the Sycamore. Sycamore? 00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:40.742 - Thank you. And another one for fun. UV disinfection. I've heard of that being used for swimming pool 00:12:40.742 --> 00:12:49.116 - water and things like that. Are we using this for wastewater drinking water systems or all the above? 00:12:49.116 --> 00:12:57.408 - Just for wastewater at a blucher pool. Just to help clean up the fluid? Yes. Cool. Thanks. Before it 00:12:57.408 --> 00:13:02.334 - gets discharged. Yes. Thank you. All right. Good questions. 00:13:04.002 --> 00:13:12.123 - Any other? We're just looking up where is Sycamore Landfill.

Next item on the agenda is the 00:16:49.506 --> 00:16:57.354 - Requesting approval for an on-call service agreement with Marshall Security LLC, James Hall. Hi, 00:16:57.354 --> 00:17:00.510 - James Hall, Assistant Director of TND. 00:17:00.866 --> 00:17:06.340 - This on call agreement is with Marshall security, but they do more traffic control. They have traffic 00:17:06.340 --> 00:17:11.706 - control devices and things of that nature. And so we're just looking to have an on call vendor that 00:17:11.706 --> 00:17:17.073 - we can go to without having to do a contract every time to kind of rent some of that stuff. We keep 00:17:17.073 --> 00:17:22.707 - some of it in house, some of it disappears. And so we have to get new stuff. And sometimes we need items 00:17:22.707 --> 00:17:28.127 - that we may not really want to purchase and need someone to come out and set up. So that's what this 00:17:28.127 --> 00:17:29.630 - is about. So James, this is 00:17:31.330 --> 00:17:41.325 - Temporary equipment as opposed to personnel correct and they set it set it up to they set up the the 00:17:41.325 --> 00:17:50.925 - systems as well. OK. All right. Any questions for James on this agreement with martial security? 00:17:50.925 --> 00:18:01.118 - All right, I know that we approve the contract with martial security. It's been moved in second due to 00:18:01.250 --> 00:18:09.279 - approve the on-call service agreement, Marshall Security. Any other discussion? All in favor say aye. 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:17.150 - Aye. Opposed? All right, motion carries. Thank you, James. Next, and you're staying right where you 00:18:17.150 --> 00:18:25.100 - are, for the approval of an on-call service agreement with Grace Ann Flanagan doing business as Dirt 00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:26.910 - Hounds Escavation LLC. 00:18:27.586 --> 00:18:34.828 - So again, just another on-call contract to have in our kind of people to call to help us with hydro 00:18:34.828 --> 00:18:42.142 - excavation or other digging operations that we may need in case a piece of equipment goes down or we 00:18:42.142 --> 00:18:49.529 - just need extra stuff. We have at least two vendors and we like to have three for on-call services to 00:18:49.529 --> 00:18:55.902 - be able to spread that out and call as we need to. Any questions for James on this one? 00:18:57.826 --> 00:19:06.861 - Any? I move that we approve the contract with Gracie and Finnegan. Second. Been moved and seconded. 00:19:06.861 --> 00:19:15.896 - All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? All right motion carries. Next is the request for approval of a 00:19:15.896 --> 00:19:23.486 - service agreement with First Appraisal Group and Chris is here to discuss that one. 00:19:32.322 --> 00:19:40.827 - Good evening. Chris Wheeler with City Legal and this item before the board is for a service agreement 00:19:40.827 --> 00:19:49.498 - with First Appraisal Group Incorporated who will do appraisals of the real estate located at and around 00:19:49.498 --> 00:19:58.336 - Lake Griffey and at and around Lake Lemon. It's a first attempt at trying to get a professional appraisal 00:19:58.336 --> 00:20:00.254 - done to determine what 00:20:00.482 --> 00:20:08.284 - the value of our real estate is out at those lakes. Just to understand what we own primarily and then 00:20:08.284 --> 00:20:16.316 - it very likely will inform the utility department and this board on what steps we may take in the future 00:20:16.316 --> 00:20:24.118 - with regards to our ownership of those lakes. Primarily because we do not use them anymore as a water 00:20:24.118 --> 00:20:28.478 - source and so it's hard to continue to justify ownership 00:20:29.602 --> 00:20:37.223 - when it really isn't providing any benefit to our customers. We continue to incur expenses in managing 00:20:37.223 --> 00:20:44.696 - those properties, and those expenses are becoming challenging for us to justify, I think. It's quite 00:20:44.696 --> 00:20:52.761 - possible that we may ultimately decide that we want to keep those water sources just in case as an emergency 00:20:52.761 --> 00:20:58.014 - backup, but at the moment, they're not even a viable emergency backup. 00:20:58.338 --> 00:21:04.656 - Step one, we thought, would be to determine what we think the value of the properties are, at least 00:21:04.656 --> 00:21:11.100 - to have an appraisal done so we can get a ballpark figure and then come back to the board and discuss 00:21:11.100 --> 00:21:17.481 - more detailed what it is we think we might like to do with the properties. So that's the main reason 00:21:17.481 --> 00:21:23.799 - behind this contract. It is for both lakes. And we would ask the board to approve this agreement so 00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:28.158 - that we can move forward. Thank you, Chris. If I remember correctly, 00:21:28.930 --> 00:21:36.846 - We, of course, own the bodies of water. But do we own parcels that surround those bodies as well? Does 00:21:36.846 --> 00:21:44.686 - this appraisal include those parcels as well? It includes the dry land and the lake bed. OK. Yeah. So 00:21:44.686 --> 00:21:52.448 - we're trying to be very all-encompassing with the properties that we do own. We appreciate it, since 00:21:52.448 --> 00:21:57.982 - we've been talking about doing this. So we're getting there. Questions? 00:21:58.210 --> 00:22:06.316 - More questions for Chris? Yeah. When you present the findings on this, assuming we approve it, can you 00:22:06.316 --> 00:22:14.422 - also bring the information on what are costs ongoing related to maintaining those properties? Yes, I'm 00:22:14.422 --> 00:22:22.292 - not sure. That might be a Matt Havy task. Yeah, that's anyone really. I guess that's not a question 00:22:22.292 --> 00:22:27.486 - for you, but that would be helpful. Staff has heard your request. 00:22:27.970 --> 00:22:34.830 - We'll try to make that be part of the overall presentation. Certainly, we're going to want to know those 00:22:34.830 --> 00:22:41.428 - things, right, as we're trying to decide what's best for the utility moving forward. A lot of pieces 00:22:41.428 --> 00:22:48.092 - to this one, including the interest that Parks and Rec has. Including the interest that Parks and Rec 00:22:48.092 --> 00:22:51.358 - has, yes. All right, other questions, discussion? 00:22:56.098 --> 00:23:05.688 - the contract with first appraisal group. Second. Moved and seconded. Any other discussion? All right 00:23:05.688 --> 00:23:15.279 - all in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you. All right item nine on our 00:23:15.279 --> 00:23:25.534 - agenda is to request request approval of the amendment to the agreement with electric plus incorporated and 00:23:26.786 --> 00:23:35.240 - Shane Ayres here. Hello, Shane Ayres, Monroe Water Treatment Plant Superintendent. So this item is for 00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:43.530 - the amendment to the contract for electric plus. Basically, we found out that the original generator 00:23:43.530 --> 00:23:51.738 - we rented was a little too small. So we're going to have to go with a bigger unit and it's going to 00:23:51.738 --> 00:23:53.790 - add another 5,000 to the 00:23:55.234 --> 00:24:06.091 - So shame to clarify, this was the exercise you were planning to do a few weeks ago. But when you got 00:24:06.091 --> 00:24:17.057 - ready to do it, you found out you needed bigger stuff to make this work. Yes, sir. OK. And so we have 00:24:17.057 --> 00:24:23.614 - a new total to get to that bigger piece of wood. Right. Yep. 00:24:25.538 --> 00:24:37.960 - OK. Questions for Shane? All right. So next week. But we still don't have all the pieces in order. There's 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:49.570 - a lot of Duke and Potomac and Nargis. We've all got to get together to get a date. And that depends 00:24:49.570 --> 00:24:53.982 - also on if there's a bunch of storms. 00:24:55.106 --> 00:25:02.474 - If there's storms, then their schedule gets pushed back, and then we kind of fall to the wayside. But 00:25:02.474 --> 00:25:09.986 - a lot of moving parts. Yep. Thanks. Thank you. That's a good thing to do. Keep at it. Right. Appreciate 00:25:09.986 --> 00:25:17.209 - it. All right. Anything else? All right. I move we approve the contract with Electric Plus. Second. 00:25:17.209 --> 00:25:23.710 - It's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion? All in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed? 00:25:24.802 --> 00:25:33.737 - All right, motion carries. And item 10 is approval of the memorandum of understanding between CBU and 00:25:33.737 --> 00:25:42.848 - City Engineering. Assistant Director Peden will join us. Good evening, Phil Peden, Engineering. So this 00:25:42.848 --> 00:25:48.542 - is MOU with City Engineering for the South Roger Street project. 00:25:49.058 --> 00:25:55.992 - They're moving forward with but I think due to some of their funding limitations that they couldn't 00:25:55.992 --> 00:26:02.926 - do all the storm waters kind of an optional possibility for this location. It's at Dodds and Rogers 00:26:02.926 --> 00:26:08.126 - where there's been some ongoing storm issues with that Northeast property. 00:26:08.290 --> 00:26:17.414 - corner there and so we had the opportunity to add it to their project under their design and construction 00:26:17.414 --> 00:26:26.194 - and it made sense so that's what the MOU is to cover the cost of that additional storm sewer. Two new 00:26:26.194 --> 00:26:34.888 - inlets and 130 linear feet of storm sewer pipe and the paving to go with it? Yeah so you got all the 00:26:34.888 --> 00:26:37.470 - incidentals with that to curb 00:26:37.666 --> 00:26:49.657 - That all comes with it, yeah. Okay. Questions for Phil on this one? Okay. We approve the MOU between 00:26:49.657 --> 00:27:02.003 - CBU and City Engineering. Thank you. It's been moved and seconded. Do we approve this MOU? All in favor 00:27:02.003 --> 00:27:04.734 - say aye. Aye. Opposed? 00:27:05.570 --> 00:27:19.385 - Okay motion carries thank you. All right hey the annual 2026 water quality report is next on our agenda. 00:27:19.385 --> 00:27:32.542 - Justin is here to go through it with us. Okay cool so last year as you may remember we went through 00:27:32.542 --> 00:27:34.910 - a resolution that 00:27:35.074 --> 00:27:41.921 - I would get to volunteer to come here and present the water quality report yearly. So one thing I just 00:27:41.921 --> 00:27:48.702 - want to point out before we start this, this is the 2026 water quality report, but all this data that 00:27:48.702 --> 00:27:55.550 - is in this report is from 2025. So this is encompassing from last year. And I will say moving forward, 00:27:55.550 --> 00:28:02.530 - 2027, they are changing this a little bit. So this will be released twice a year instead of once a year. 00:28:02.530 --> 00:28:04.990 - So it will just kind of shorten that 00:28:05.186 --> 00:28:10.814 - gap between when we collect the data and then when it's presented to our customers. So every utility 00:28:10.814 --> 00:28:16.665 - across the country is required to do this, and this is just as a transparency thing. So everybody that's 00:28:16.665 --> 00:28:22.404 - drinking water from a public utility knows what's in the water, and then they can make their decisions 00:28:22.404 --> 00:28:27.976 - based on any health issues they have or what they deem responsible for their family. Noted on here, 00:28:27.976 --> 00:28:29.982 - I do want to jump back just because 00:28:30.146 --> 00:28:35.881 - I have these in my office and it's always kind of cool to look at. Just started in 1998 is when they 00:28:35.881 --> 00:28:41.560 - passed the CCR regulations or the Consumer Confidence Report regulations. So the first one came out 00:28:41.560 --> 00:28:47.352 - in 1999. So I have a copy of these in my office, which is always kind of fun to look back through. So 00:28:47.352 --> 00:28:53.315 - that's our very first one there in 1999. You may be wondering if we paid an actor to be in that picture. 00:28:53.315 --> 00:28:58.142 - That is not. That is our chemist, Craig Abbott, who is still with us as our chemist. 00:28:58.242 --> 00:29:03.989 - And I just want to give Craig a shout out because he has helped with these reports since they started 00:29:03.989 --> 00:29:09.679 - in 1999. He does a great job with collecting data throughout the year, doing the sampling as part of 00:29:09.679 --> 00:29:15.707 - the sampling schedule, and then providing that information for this report. And then also on here, another 00:29:15.707 --> 00:29:21.567 - cool one is 2004. You can see the picture there. That's actually when they're building the third basin, 00:29:21.567 --> 00:29:26.750 - the newest sedimentation basin at the plant. So that's when that construction was starting. 00:29:26.978 --> 00:29:33.692 - And then as part of the requirements, there needs to be an aspect of public notification. Now we put 00:29:33.692 --> 00:29:40.405 - out press releases and social media and reach through our media friends. In the middle there, I hope 00:29:40.405 --> 00:29:47.385 - you see the irony of that 2005 water quality report ad in the newspaper about our tap water with bottled 00:29:47.385 --> 00:29:50.110 - water in the picture. I thought that was 00:29:50.722 --> 00:29:57.879 - good one and then just some of the some of the other reports there from the last couple years since 00:29:57.879 --> 00:30:05.179 - this is a yearly document. So this report is composed where we're showing anything that's measured in 00:30:05.179 --> 00:30:12.766 - our water as a contaminant. If it shows up in testing it doesn't matter if it's above or below any of the 00:30:12.866 --> 00:30:18.436 - The limits are the MCLs that are set by the EPA. If it shows up in testing through one of the labs we 00:30:18.436 --> 00:30:23.951 - use, mostly Eurofins, they send our results directly to IDEM so we don't get them back between that. 00:30:23.951 --> 00:30:29.521 - So they're reported from the lab and they have to go into this report. This is just the first page of 00:30:29.521 --> 00:30:33.726 - the full list of all these contaminants, which is 96 contaminants currently. 00:30:33.826 --> 00:30:39.221 - It changes a little bit based on if you're a surface water source or a groundwater source. Us being 00:30:39.221 --> 00:30:44.670 - surface water, it's a little bit different. Then it just shows you also the schedule of what type of 00:30:44.670 --> 00:30:50.280 - contaminant it is. I always thought this was a good chart because it tells you what some health effects 00:30:50.280 --> 00:30:55.837 - are, where these contaminants are coming from, and then both the MCL, which is what we use as a cutoff 00:30:55.837 --> 00:30:58.750 - for violations, and then also the public health goal. 00:30:58.882 --> 00:31:04.903 - I've never understood why the public health goals are not all zero, but there is a treatment aspect 00:31:04.903 --> 00:31:10.924 - in that and a monetary aspect in that that they have to set something that's feasible for utilities 00:31:10.924 --> 00:31:17.065 - as well. So there is, that list goes on. I have it if you want to copy, just shoot me an email, I can 00:31:17.065 --> 00:31:23.086 - send it to you. It's a fun list to have, I think. So this is just going back to the resolution that 00:31:23.086 --> 00:31:24.350 - we passed last year. 00:31:24.450 --> 00:31:30.626 - why I'm here and what we're going to chat very briefly about. So just talk about all the contaminants 00:31:30.626 --> 00:31:36.802 - that are listed, anything that deviates from the EPA maximums, which I'm here to tell you that we are 00:31:36.802 --> 00:31:43.038 - within range of all the contaminants that were detected in our water. So there's very few changes from 00:31:43.038 --> 00:31:49.154 - last year, which is a good thing because consistency in water treatment is always a positive for us, 00:31:49.154 --> 00:31:53.150 - nothing new popping up to cause issues. And then just some of the 00:31:53.410 --> 00:31:58.481 - parameter set by Health and Human Services, which I think we all know is probably the floor that we're 00:31:58.481 --> 00:32:03.454 - talking about, which is why this started last year, but we will touch on that briefly. And then just 00:32:03.454 --> 00:32:08.426 - very quickly at the end, just some of the stuff that we monitor looking forward to potential changes 00:32:08.426 --> 00:32:13.694 - from the EPA as far as what might be regulated. I will point out last fall, if you go back and look at the 00:32:13.890 --> 00:32:19.295 - Indiana code. A lot of our water regulations have been repealed from the state of Indiana, and now we 00:32:19.295 --> 00:32:24.700 - are just deferring back to the EPA regulations from the federal government. So IDEM has removed a lot 00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:30.105 - of that from their IAC, so we just go right from the EPA now. So some of the language in our document 00:32:30.105 --> 00:32:35.934 - has changed, but that's just slight differences between what IDEM had in their language and what the EPA has. 00:32:40.898 --> 00:32:46.391 - So this is the front page of our report this year. And like I said, if you went back and compare this 00:32:46.391 --> 00:32:51.938 - to last year, a lot of it's very similar, especially on the right-hand side. A lot of that is just the 00:32:51.938 --> 00:32:57.808 - health effects language, what populations may be concerned with different contaminants, and some information 00:32:57.808 --> 00:33:03.193 - on who to contact or where to get more information online. One that I'm proud of, and Shane and his 00:33:03.193 --> 00:33:08.633 - group should also be proud of, in the top left are violations for this year. There's none. We didn't 00:33:08.633 --> 00:33:10.302 - have any violations last year. 00:33:10.434 --> 00:33:16.792 - As you may recall, the last two before that, we did have some smaller violations. One was not as small, 00:33:16.792 --> 00:33:23.089 - but none from last year, which I'm very proud about. And then below that, we also put our deficiencies 00:33:23.089 --> 00:33:29.324 - from our last sanitary survey. Those two are being addressed currently in the project that is ongoing 00:33:29.324 --> 00:33:35.560 - at Monroe Treatment Plant, and we're hoping completed, hopefully late fall, or late summer, but I put 00:33:35.560 --> 00:33:38.494 - on there in the fall for those to be completed. 00:33:39.106 --> 00:33:44.937 - And then right below that is our PFAS and UCMR testing that was also on there last year, but we had 00:33:44.937 --> 00:33:50.885 - all non-detects, so we had good results there, so that has not changed. Another one I wanted to point 00:33:50.885 --> 00:33:57.008 - out on the lead side on the very right, we also added on there anybody that's interested in having their 00:33:57.008 --> 00:34:02.898 - water tested for lead. We added that to the CCR this year because we are now offering that as a free 00:34:02.898 --> 00:34:04.414 - service to our customers. 00:34:04.610 --> 00:34:10.983 - I think we talked about that briefly when I was here for a service line project, but we are still doing 00:34:10.983 --> 00:34:17.172 - that. We've gone through about 100 residences so far, and we're basically a team of two doing it, so 00:34:17.172 --> 00:34:23.362 - we're making good progress. We just want to put that on there so people are aware of it and they can 00:34:23.362 --> 00:34:29.919 - get signed up if they would like. Yes, absolutely. For the PFAS testing, this says it was based on samples 00:34:29.919 --> 00:34:33.534 - collected between 2023 and 2024. Yeah. Is that just a lag? 00:34:34.082 --> 00:34:40.305 - It's when they do different size utilities throughout this testing schedule. So some of the smaller 00:34:40.305 --> 00:34:46.527 - utilities. So it's not going to be tested every year, maybe? Not every year for a finished drinking 00:34:46.527 --> 00:34:52.874 - water. But as a utility, we are testing our source water more often just to see if we see any changes 00:34:52.874 --> 00:34:59.159 - in our source water. We know that could be an issue down the road. Thank you. So then we can move on 00:34:59.159 --> 00:35:01.150 - to the actual contaminant list. 00:35:01.986 --> 00:35:08.710 - So this is the list that will be on the back of the water quality report. Looks very similar to the 00:35:08.710 --> 00:35:15.433 - last couple years. So I will point out the bottom there in that kind of purplish pinkish color that 00:35:15.433 --> 00:35:22.359 - always has how many contaminants we have in our water. This says 16. You will note if you compare that 00:35:22.359 --> 00:35:23.838 - last time it said 13. 00:35:24.002 --> 00:35:29.650 - Not all of these are tested yearly. That part in the middle of the radioactive contaminants, last time 00:35:29.650 --> 00:35:35.517 - we tested that was in 2021. We only have to do that every six years because we are a surface water source. 00:35:35.517 --> 00:35:41.000 - Groundwater sources do that more often. So all that data stays the same from 2021. And then, if you 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:46.593 - go one more, Rachel, I just wanted to highlight really quickly. These are what has changed since last 00:35:46.593 --> 00:35:52.076 - year's report. So that one on the very top there are total coliform bacteria. That's one of the new 00:35:52.076 --> 00:35:53.118 - ones that's added. 00:35:53.218 --> 00:35:58.918 - Last year, we collected over 1,000 samples. We had one come back positive for total coliform. And a 00:35:58.918 --> 00:36:04.902 - lot of times when that happens, it can be just if when you're sampling, you get your hands on the inside 00:36:04.902 --> 00:36:10.944 - of the bottle or on the lip of it. As much as you wash your hands, you're probably going to have a little 00:36:10.944 --> 00:36:16.700 - bacteria on them. Funny story, one of our sampling stations used to have a frog living in it and was 00:36:16.700 --> 00:36:22.457 - causing us a lot of positive samples until we kind of realized that there was some organic matter in 00:36:22.457 --> 00:36:23.198 - the station. 00:36:23.298 --> 00:36:29.392 - You know, over a thousand samples collected, only one positive. No violation there, but that's why it's 00:36:29.392 --> 00:36:35.251 - on there this year because we did have that one positive. Another reason that there's an additional 00:36:35.251 --> 00:36:41.227 - contaminant this year, IDEM made us separate out our radium-226 and 228. It used to be just combined. 00:36:41.227 --> 00:36:47.087 - It's still on there as a combined number, but they made us separate it out this year. Atrazine came 00:36:47.087 --> 00:36:51.774 - back this year. It was the first time since 2022. It's always a very low level. 00:36:51.874 --> 00:36:58.056 - For atrazine, you can see it's 0.1 PPB. The threshold for testing is 0.09. So we were just barely above 00:36:58.056 --> 00:37:04.238 - that. But as I said, it was there in 2022 and it was only in one of our four samples last year. So it's 00:37:04.238 --> 00:37:10.419 - always kind of right on that line. And that one's a runoff from herbicides using agricultural purposes. 00:37:10.419 --> 00:37:16.363 - The other changes at the bottom are lead and copper. We did do our annual sampling, or actually our 00:37:16.363 --> 00:37:18.206 - tri-annual sampling last year. 00:37:18.306 --> 00:37:23.329 - So our 90th percentile for lead and copper both changed a little bit. Our lead went from 3.3 to 5.1. 00:37:23.329 --> 00:37:28.302 - So that went up a little bit. Copper dropped a little bit, but both are still well below the action 00:37:28.302 --> 00:37:33.623 - level. We did have one site in our lead sampling that was above the action level, so we do have to include 00:37:33.623 --> 00:37:38.745 - that on here. And that just leads us to believe that they probably have internal plumbing that's lead, 00:37:38.745 --> 00:37:43.818 - as well as a lead service line, which we will be addressing moving forward. And then the other one on 00:37:43.818 --> 00:37:44.862 - there, the fluoride. 00:37:44.994 --> 00:37:50.479 - And as I pointed out, this is 2025, so this is when we were not feeding the fluoride. So there is a 00:37:50.479 --> 00:37:56.129 - range part of this table that just is below this on the actual report, just because it doesn't all fit 00:37:56.129 --> 00:38:01.943 - on one page here. So the range will say the low side is zero because this is just all naturally occurring 00:38:01.943 --> 00:38:07.592 - fluoride from last year. But I did put a note on there that we are currently feeding fluoride and have 00:38:07.592 --> 00:38:13.187 - been steadily since January. So our running average right now is 0.65. So right between that 0.6, 0.7 00:38:13.187 --> 00:38:14.942 - goal that we have for fluoride. 00:38:16.002 --> 00:38:23.657 - And then, yes? So the ideal goal there says four parts per million for fluoride. But your goal, am I 00:38:23.657 --> 00:38:31.616 - reading that right? Yeah. Yeah. But you just said you were looking for a lower. Yeah, that's a misprint. 00:38:31.616 --> 00:38:39.272 - We're going to fix that. And that's why this is not our final report. So yeah, you're correct there. 00:38:39.272 --> 00:38:45.790 - That's not the ideal goal for fluoride. I'll have to go back and fix that. Thank you. 00:38:51.554 --> 00:38:58.696 - Yeah, the CDC has a writer I think point seven is kind of the upper side of where they and then the 00:38:58.696 --> 00:39:05.837 - MCL of four there There's a secondary MCL for fluoride at two parts per million as well But four is 00:39:05.837 --> 00:39:13.122 - the main one Last year, this is all from last year. Yes, it'll be a little higher now The next one we 00:39:13.122 --> 00:39:15.550 - put out will be higher. Yeah. Yep 00:39:19.682 --> 00:39:24.988 - And then some of the source water monitoring we do, as I mentioned, the PFAS, part of the UCMR, but 00:39:24.988 --> 00:39:30.612 - we also just monitor that. You may assume there are some changes probably occurring with PFAS in drinking 00:39:30.612 --> 00:39:36.290 - water, unfortunately. They're cutting back some of the regulations from what was proposed and also pushing 00:39:36.290 --> 00:39:41.596 - the deadline back, which pushing the deadline back will probably help some utilities. Perchlorates, 00:39:41.596 --> 00:39:43.294 - another one that's on the EPA's 00:39:43.394 --> 00:39:48.920 - radar. We were just trying to test that to get ahead of that. We are well below the lowest threshold 00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:54.609 - that they might implement for that. And then microplastics is another one that we're looking to testing 00:39:54.609 --> 00:40:00.244 - because it hasn't been about four or five years since we've done that. And then cyanotoxin, I just put 00:40:00.244 --> 00:40:05.988 - that on there because we do that yearly just because the algae blooms. And as you know, blue-green algae 00:40:05.988 --> 00:40:11.733 - can be an issue. And with that, if you have any questions or comments, I would be happy to hear. I think 00:40:11.733 --> 00:40:13.374 - the water looks really tasty. 00:40:13.698 --> 00:40:19.578 - Is there anything here that keeps you up at night or concerns you? From the contaminant standpoint, 00:40:19.578 --> 00:40:25.576 - no. Lead and copper, that rule always keeps me up a little bit, just the more I think about it. Well, 00:40:25.576 --> 00:40:31.573 - with the lead going up slightly, is that basically a byproduct of what service connections you decide 00:40:31.573 --> 00:40:37.512 - to sample each year? And then that's just where your 90th percentile is, right? Yeah, so I had to go 00:40:37.512 --> 00:40:42.334 - back through this past year and update all of our sampling locations. Previously, 00:40:42.466 --> 00:40:48.333 - to the same locations that had been being used over and over, which was part of the rule. But a lot 00:40:48.333 --> 00:40:54.200 - of those had seen service upgrades or internal plumbing upgrades, so they were just naturally gonna 00:40:54.200 --> 00:41:00.125 - have lower concentrations. So we had to go back through and meet all these tier one sites again. How 00:41:00.125 --> 00:41:06.227 - many do we have to sample service connections for lead of a system this size? I might've asked you that 00:41:06.227 --> 00:41:12.446 - before. We run a reduced monitoring, so we had to do 30 locations once every three years as part of this. 00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:18.960 - If you're non-reduced, 60 every year, which next year we're actually, when the new parts of that lead 00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:25.434 - and copper go into effect, we have to go back to the normal sampling. So we're going to have to go back 00:41:25.434 --> 00:41:31.846 - up to 60 and then do it every six months for two years. Nice to see the disinfection byproducts pretty 00:41:31.846 --> 00:41:34.398 - consistent from last year as well. Yeah. 00:41:34.658 --> 00:41:39.818 - Yeah that's one you know if you go on IDEM has a drinking water viewer everybody should know this you 00:41:39.818 --> 00:41:44.928 - can go on and actually track all of our sampling that we do throughout the year for any utility. Our 00:41:44.928 --> 00:41:50.088 - results always differ from theirs a little bit just because we sample more often than they require so 00:41:50.088 --> 00:41:55.249 - they use four samples a year and we try to do every month. Last year we missed one or two months just 00:41:55.249 --> 00:41:58.942 - because of budgetary reasons but we're back to sampling every month now. 00:42:00.194 --> 00:42:06.307 - Just a couple of notes and comments. We have the violations and deficiencies, which awesome. 00:42:06.307 --> 00:42:13.078 - We have none. Deficiencies of what is that from like IDEM inspection, a certain Indiana administrative 00:42:13.078 --> 00:42:17.022 - code that they look at. So that came up in that inspection. 00:42:17.314 --> 00:42:22.857 - the backwash tank at Monroe. There's an overflow port that comes out. Right now, when it comes out of 00:42:22.857 --> 00:42:28.455 - the tank, it doesn't come all the way to the ground. It has to be within 12 to 18 inches of the ground 00:42:28.455 --> 00:42:33.998 - to be screened at the bottom. So it just needs to be extended down to the ground. And then we have to 00:42:33.998 --> 00:42:39.704 - put a secondary backwash pump in just in case something happens to the primary backwash pump. Oh, great. 00:42:39.704 --> 00:42:43.454 - And I believe we have that pump on site or soon to be on site. Yeah. 00:42:43.714 --> 00:42:48.806 - I don't know if it'd be helpful just for the public reading that to to maybe explain, you know, what 00:42:48.806 --> 00:42:53.848 - those are violations or deficiencies of. I mean, I think it's kind of implied in the intro there as 00:42:53.848 --> 00:42:56.318 - well. But and then I love the fact that at least 00:42:56.898 --> 00:43:02.604 - Historically, we've not had PFAS detected. I think it's great that we highlight that. Is that a requirement 00:43:02.604 --> 00:43:08.416 - that we would highlight that too if we tested for it under the? Yeah, so the UCMR rule, that's a requirement, 00:43:08.416 --> 00:43:14.017 - ought to be on this document, which included, I think, 32 different PFAS contaminants as well as lithium. 00:43:14.017 --> 00:43:19.406 - But I think that's something that we should definitely highlight, the public should know. And I don't 00:43:19.406 --> 00:43:24.742 - know if it'd be helpful to, sometimes I hate using it, but calling it forever chemicals or something 00:43:24.742 --> 00:43:26.750 - in the headlines so that maybe people 00:43:27.074 --> 00:43:35.288 - put that connection to that. Not that, you know, if you use per and floral alkalonic acid or whatever 00:43:35.288 --> 00:43:43.422 - it is, it might be quite long, but excellent job. Thank you so much for doing what you do. Any other 00:43:43.422 --> 00:43:51.879 - questions? Other questions? No comments? Justin, you mentioned that the state deleted some requirements, 00:43:51.879 --> 00:43:55.422 - so we now lean on the federal requirements. 00:43:56.098 --> 00:44:02.984 - which were more favorable for the consumer, the states that are no longer around? In Indiana, they were 00:44:02.984 --> 00:44:09.804 - basically the same anyways. There was just some language differences in them. But as far as the actual 00:44:09.804 --> 00:44:16.491 - contaminants go, they're identical. Some states do have more stringent guidelines or regulations for 00:44:16.491 --> 00:44:23.112 - drinking water. But the EPA rule is you can make them more stringent. You just can't make them less 00:44:23.112 --> 00:44:25.694 - stringent than the federal government. 00:44:25.826 --> 00:44:32.058 - So some states that have particular contaminants that are of issue, they might lower those a little 00:44:32.058 --> 00:44:38.290 - bit. Indiana just kind of, they've always kind of followed the federal government's lead for these, 00:44:38.290 --> 00:44:44.647 - but they just said no more confusion between the IAC and the EPA code, so they just got rid of it. So 00:44:44.647 --> 00:44:51.004 - there wasn't a decrease in standards there? No. Okay. No, just a change in language basically. Great. 00:44:51.004 --> 00:44:53.310 - Thank you. Yep. Any other questions? 00:44:55.778 --> 00:45:04.237 - Well, thank you. I appreciate this and appreciate your continued work on all this. Thanks for your time. 00:45:04.237 --> 00:45:12.213 - It's obviously a top priority for us to make sure that we're in excess of the requirements, right? 00:45:12.213 --> 00:45:20.511 - I agree. And I will point out, nationwide, the average contaminants is around 25 in utilities drinking 00:45:20.511 --> 00:45:25.022 - water. So we're well below that. 25 contaminants? Yeah. 00:45:25.442 --> 00:45:35.642 - I think Cap mentioned to me that a lot of other municipalities have PFAS problems and we don't. Just 00:45:35.642 --> 00:45:45.841 - don't go talking about our water being too good to like Indy because they're gonna want to come down 00:45:45.841 --> 00:45:54.526 - and take it. We have very good source water. Just tell them the algae is a big issue. 00:45:55.010 --> 00:46:10.299 - Indy has suggested they could be a customer before. Okay. Thank you. All right. Is there any old business 00:46:10.299 --> 00:46:21.982 - from the board? Old business from staff? Okay. New business from the board? Yes. 00:46:23.554 --> 00:46:35.249 - Maybe at the next meeting or at the first meeting where you have information that you communicate to 00:46:35.249 --> 00:46:46.829 - us anything new about the property on Cottage Grove. Thank you. Anything else from staff? Did I ask 00:46:46.829 --> 00:46:52.734 - that? New business from staff? We good? All right. 00:46:52.866 --> 00:47:02.290 - We had any subcommittee reports since last meeting? Staff reports? Yeah. Just in this year, we just 00:47:02.290 --> 00:47:12.091 - presented that annual water quality report, received its DSL license. And Alan Christie and Josh Wathen 00:47:12.091 --> 00:47:22.174 - and TND earned their water collection licenses. And that is our staff report. Great. Thank you. Good deal. 00:47:22.530 --> 00:47:29.611 - Any other petitions or communications from the public? Anyone else in attendance? Okay, I think that 00:47:29.611 --> 00:47:32.766 - wraps up our meeting. We'll stand adjourned.
