Ms. Lena Rivera, Director, Public Works and Utilities Department introduced Mr.
Todd Petrie, P.E., Director of Asset Management, Veolia, to give an update on the
water works projects.
Discussion followed on the point of introduction of disinfectant products with a
note that the goal was to minimize contact and maximize disinfectant property.
Commissioner Cannon noted some City residents are billed for water through the
City but provided water by Seminole County. One such example, Dovera, has
separate water quality report. Commissioner Cannon asked that slides from a
presentation given at the July 8, 2019 City Commission Meeting be shown to
illustrate this point.
Manager Boyle noted the significant savings that partnering with Veolia has, and
will, provide to the City and ultimately utility customers.
Discussion then turned to the need to ground lines at the plants to avoid lightning
damage, hurricane preparedness at the water plants, and the process for
determining generator movement/placement/installation.
Commissioner Kendrick reiterated the different types of work being completed at
wastewater versus water plants throughout the City.
Mr. Petrie later discussed the prospect of a Reuse Water Master Plan in response to
questions about "watering -in" periods in Tuskawilla Crossings and other new
development.
Commissioner Cannon then referenced a presentation originally shown at the July
13, 2020 City Commission Regular Meeting and asked for clarification about the
impact of the ion exchange system as it related to certain contaminants tested for
in the water supply. Commissioner Cannon asked that the video of this
presentation be shown (starting at 00:18:27 - Water System Improvements
Schedule). The video was shown from this point through the end of the video
where Mr. Lance Littrell, P.E., Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. noted the City was in
total compliance.
