BLUE MOUNTAIN WATER DISTRICT MINUTES
August 15, 2024 Zoom Meeting 7:30PM
ORC Report
ORC does not have statistics for operations at this time. We expect to have these back by next month
Meter Discussion
- Approximately 12 meters need to be replaced.
- Most are 1 inch – 1 inch meters are on backorder
- We have approximately 8 – 3/4 meters in inventory – the reducers can be purchased anywhere. There may be reducers at pump station 2.
- Some meters will be difficult to replace.
- Ken and Tom are auditing all the meters to make sure they are installed correctly. This will finish the meter project
Discussion about 1 inch meters
- 1 inch meters have to be opened to read
Core and Main
- Core and Main is no longer a Neptune dealer.
- Neptune products cannot be purchased until the new supplier is identified later this month
Project to remove and dispose of Uranium and Softener Media
- Norm Services identified to perform the services – Robert from Norm Services joined the call to present the proposal
- Background:
- Quote to clean and dispose of uranium filter medium ~$42K
- Quote includes: services for transportation – to Andrews, Texas, paperwork, labor etc.
- Proposal:
- ORC and Norm Services recommends adding the softener medium to the medium from the Uranium filter
- This will cost an additional $20K (approximate) for a total of $63K. This will cover:
- Cleaning the uranium and softener filters
- Labor, paperwork, disposal of the vessel, medium, etc.
- Addressing and Disposing of the uranium and softener filters together will save time and cost.
- Determining radioactivity of the Softener will cost approximately $8K
- Norm Services estimates the softener medium is less radioactive but not so much that it can be disposed of locally.
- It will be cheaper to add the material to the current load than treating the uranium and softener filter projects as separate project.
- Determining radioactivity of the Softener will cost approximately $8K
- This will cost an additional $20K (approximate) for a total of $63K. This will cover:
- ORC and Norm Services recommends adding the softener medium to the medium from the Uranium filter
- Bill/Joe requested a summary of the plan to include the softener effort with the Uranium project
- Robert responded
- Initial analysis concluded the radioactivity of the softener medium is lower than the uranium filter medium
- The softener medium can be certified that it is
- the same material as the uranium medium
- from the same system, and same source.
- With this confirmation, the medium from both filters can be combined and treated the same
- 4 totes for each filter are expected to move the material – worst case scenario
- The price will be reduced if less waste is generated
- There is gravel in the bottom of the tanks.
- Gravel will be left behind as it does not absorb the uranium
- Some gravel will be swept up but this will be minimized.
- Clay stuck to the side of the tank will have to be cleaned and removed
- The medium will be shipped to a facility in Andrews, Texas
- The waste profile was submitted the final approval is pending a signature
- Robert responded
- Joe proposes we verbally modify the cost estimate in anticipation of the written quote. We can authorize tonight
- Motion, Joe make a motion to proceed on phase two of uranium and softener tank a $62,381.13
- Second, Andrew seconded
- Passes unanimously The radioactivity level of the softener medium is high – analysis to be provided
- Second, Andrew seconded
- Motion, Joe make a motion to proceed on phase two of uranium and softener tank a $62,381.13
- Joe is going to look for a source for replacement softener media.
- Concrete Tank Repairs –
- Joe will follow up on the tank repairs after the meeting. He will meet with Gabby to review
- Tank at booster station 2 is leaking. Patches were applied and reduced the leaks
- Treatment plant has some rebar showing through the concrete. Needs epoxy treatment
- The previous maintenance team should be reengaged to get a new quote for the work.
- Gabby will speak to the maintenance contractors
- Joe will follow up on the tank repairs after the meeting. He will meet with Gabby to review
- Customer Issues – Gordons experienced cloudy water (Ute)
- ORC responded
- They flushed their lines until the water cleared.
- There was another customer who called reporting the same
- Gabby wants to flush the lines in September
- It has been quite a while since a systematic flush was completed.
- This needs to be a uni-directional flush to improve quality
- Nothing to make us believe this is a systemic issue – No reason to think this was coming from the plant.
Board Discussions and Decisions
- Pump Station #3 Update
- No issues since start-up
- The system is capable of collecting operation data but is not set to do so
- We need to verify the data collection for the unit is set up correctly
- Gabby will get with the install team to see what needs to be done
- Pump 12 –
- Soft start for pump 12 ordered
- Electrical on pump 12 is completed
- We are waiting for the soft start
- We had to pre-pay because this was a special order
- Emergency Contact Update
- The request for emergency contact went out last night
- We need to complete a zone map and load to web site
- Need a description of each zone.
- This includes pressure range and where the source of water
- The calculation to determine the pressure expected at each house will be provided
- Weed Trimming plant, pump stations, hydrants
- Bill weeded the water plant and the hydrant near the fire stations
- Temporary Tap Moratorium
- Future tap fees and standby charges
- Bill sent a sheet out on how tap fees were calculated
- This includes all the capital charges for the water tank and well 12 (~$1,553K)
- The augmentation plan calls for 150 taps (1,553 / 150)
- Tap fees will increase from $28K to $38K
- The thought on tap fees – new customers participate in the capital investments made
- Stand-by charges –
- Increase the stand-by fees from $80 a period for taps purchased and not active to $130 a period
- The intent of this change is to maintain our debt cost and the district’s investment.
- This will become effective 1 Oct 2024
- We will add the rate increase notice to the invoices to be published.
- Initial notice made in the June bill.
- This met the 30 day notice requirement
- Motion to approve the tap fee and standby charge increases
- Ken made a motion to increase the tap fees and standby charges as described above.
- Joe provided the second.
- Passed unanimously.
- Should we lift the moratorium on taps?
- No one asked for a tap since the moratorium
- If we lift the moratorium, there is the chance someone can purchase a tap at $28K before the 1 Oct increase.
- Ken made a motion to remove the moratorium
- Andrew made a second,
- All were in favor
- Structure hardening grant –
- There is a 50/50 grant opportunity
- Upgrading from wood to stucco or cement board will help need to look at improving the roof of each facility especially the water plant.
- We need a budget estimate for what we need to do for each of the structures. This will give us some idea of what the grant will require.
- We need to look at the defensible area around the facilities
Financial Audit – extension filed
- This will be due the end of September
Budget Committee
- The budget, in draft form needs to be ready for Oct 15th
- Andrew to work with Ken on building the budget
- Tom will assist with building the budget
- Budget committee will consider any amendments to the 2024 budget
- The board will consider a rule to amend each previous years budget to reflect actuals
Public Comments
- Tom B – asked if we need to replace the softener media.
- ORC believes the media has to be replaced.
- This may be due to the time when the drilling mud got into the system.
- This is a back-up filter running when the iron filter was down.
- Gabby believes there is quite a bit of silt in the filter.
- This is keeping a limited flow of water.
- We may want to check to see if the media has not solidified
- Tom B – We want to run an audit to make sure the reader is picking up the correct meter. There were very few issues
- There are two meters that are put in backwards. Gabby corrected one, will work the other
- Tom is concerned that when the meters ëwake-upí it reports a leak indicated
- He believes that the meter may have seen a leak at some time in the past but not at this time
- He is encouraged with the new metersí performance
- Leslie Woodruff – concerned that her water bill increased significantly in the past year.
- The rates were changed in 2021 to discourage excessive
- The high water use created higher fees
- If the use was low, the bill would be lower
- Ken reviewed the bill for the last period and found it reflected 24K gallons of use
- The board feels there is a leak in the house given the history and that the meter was replaced
- A 90-day meter reading will be downloaded and provided
- Leslie point out that the email referenced in the website contact has an error – this will be addressed
- The rates were changed in 2021 to discourage excessive

- Operations
Mary discussed the operations. A significant leak in one of the water lines from the wells was located and repaired. Mary is preparing to work with Steve Orloff to diagnose and repair the low pressure at 9546 BMD. A leak was repaired in a customer service line that caused high usage.
Water production was slightly higher than last month, but stabilized after the leak repairs. The well levels have dropped somewhat.
A discussion was held and resident’s questions were answered followed regarding water levels in the wells, our plans to augment the supply, and the timeline for doing this. Based on our current usage, Joe believes that the supply will last an additional 10 to 15 years, but this is not guaranteed. An evolving long-term plan to supplement our recharge was described. Alternatives, such as purchasing water, were discussed. - Maintenance
Dave discussed the maintenance. - Other Discussions
The board thanked Bill Bryant for his feedback and requested that he send any additional
questions via email.
Meters were discussed. It has been difficult to get information from Neptune regarding the best path forward with the choice of meter types. The engineer with metering experience that Joe had found is no longer available. Joe moved that we should order additional meters up to $4500.00 since we need meters now. Jen seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved.
The BMLHA has requested that a board member attend their next meeting on 8/23 at 6:00 pm to give an update on Water District operations. Tom plans to attend.
The BMLHA picnic is on 8/28, and Tom had suggested that we could take any interested
residents to see the new water tank. Joe, Bill, and Ken will attend, and can do that.
Our web site hosting needs to be renewed. Jen proposed that we spend up to $350 for 3 more years of service. Joe seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
