Planned operations and improvements for 2007-11

• Continue working on the Department of Health required update of the Comprehensive Water System Plan, including cross-connection control and the new conservation requirements under the 2003 Municipal Water Law. 2007
  
  
• Construction of new well #6 @ 900 gpm with manganese filtration, variable production pump, and on-site chlorine generation. All well development costs are being funded entirely by new growth fees. 2007
  
  
• Design, engineering and construction for the newly redrilled and enlarged well # 5 including variable production pump, on-site chlorine generation, and calcium contactor for pH adjustment. 2007/8
  
  
• Plan for capital cost requirements (approximately $1,023,000) and coordinate with Pierce County for the relocation, upsizing, and extension of the water mains affected by the County 176th St. E. road widening project. 2007-2011
  
  
• Continue to work with the USGS, Pierce County Conservation District and Water Programs and other water utilities on the geo-hydrological model and analysis of Clover Creek issues in conjunction with Dept. of Ecology. Work to address well/s impact on Chambers/Clover Creeks and area lakes, ability to develop new wells, provide ESA protection for existing and new wells, and allow for mitigation of stream impacts. 2006-10
  
  
• Work to obtain DOE permit to develop well 10 at new office/shop facility in conjunction with geo-hydrological work noted above. 2008 - Secure property for storage tank to serve the upper pressure zone. 2007 Construct 2.1 MG tank with 600,000 gallons usable storage. 2007/8
  
  
• Secure property for additional storage tank for the main pressure zone. 2007 Construct 3 MG tank with 2 million gallons usable storage. 2009/10 - Install manganese filtration at Yakima Well site (3 wells). 2008
  
  
• Redevelop Shaffer well site to include hollow line-shaft turbine pump and on site chlorine generation. 2008
  
  
• Continue main upsizing on “A” St. to improve fire flows available for the Pacific Avenue corridor. 2011
  
  
• Monitor road and sewer projects, both County and developer planned, to take advantage of system improvement opportunities. It should be noted that the water system relocation costs for County-initiated projects are not reimbursed by the County and are funded from existing system funds. New main installations for growth completed in coordination with sewer extensions are funded from new connection fees. (on-going)
  
  
• Continue to monitor the timing of capital expenses in relationship to Company revenue/reserves. Review water rate structure in relationship to inflation, increasing regulations, and timing of capital expenses. Monitor income and expenses to avoid large percentage rate increases. (on-going)
  
  
• Finally, continue to work with other utility group, the County Council, and State elected representatives on water related issues. (on-going)
