DATE: April 8, 2003
TO: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: James L. Harper, Electrical Engineering Manager
RE: Elwha Underground Rebuild Phase I - Project 22-11
Summary: The City water pumping facility at the Ranney Well is served by a 2.5 mile direct
buried 12.47 kV underground line along the old railroad right of way (Milwaukee Avenue)
installed in 1977. The expected life of underground cables is 20 to 30 years and the number of
failures on this line are increasing yearly. The project involves installing 2-5 inch power
conduits and 1-4 inch communications conduit in a 4 foot deep trench ? feet offthe south right of
way line.
Recommendation: Recommend staff proceed with the EIwha Underground Rebuild Phase
I Project 22-11 as described below.
Background/Analysis:
The City water pumping facility at the Ranney Well is served by a 2.5 mile direct buried 12.47
kV underground line along the old railroad right of way (Milwaukee Avenue) installed in 1977.
The expected life of underground cables is 20 to 30 years. The cables on this line have been
experiencing one or two failures per year over the last few years. Each failure requires several
days to locate and repair. The number of failures can be expected to increase rapidly over the
next 3 to 5 years if the cables are not replaced.
The rebuild of this line in three phases over a three year period was proposed and included in the
approved 2002 CFP. The design of the line rebuild was budgeted in 2002 and has been
completed. The design of the line calls for the installation of 2-5 inch power conduits and 1-4
inch communications conduit. The location of the trench in the Milwaukee Avenue right of way
was sited at 7 feet offofthe south right of way line (right of way cross section shown below).
This places the conduits in the City's standard electric location in a 100 foot right of way. This
location was selected for several additional reasons; no conflict with the future development of
Milwaukee Avenue and to a lesser degree minimize the conflict with the proposed Lower Elwha
Tribe sewer force main. The south side of the right of way was selected to minimize the conflicts
with the private gravel operation, the proposed Elwha water treatment facility and landfill
transfer station, and to minimize timber removal.
Phase I of the project is budgeted at $230,000 and is scheduled for construction in 2003. This
Phase is for the 4700 foot section of line fxom 18~ Street to the overhead crossing of Dry Creek.
Staffrequests UAC approval to proceed with the "Advertisement For Bids" for Phase I
construction of Project 22-11.
This project has been coordinated with the new water treatment facility, the proposed Elwha tribe
sewer line. It is also being coordinated with the National Park Service for cost share
reimbursement.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 8, 2003
TO: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Doyle W. McGinley, Superintendent Water/Wastewatcr Collection
SUBJECT: Water Quality Report (2002)
Summary: The Washington State Department of Health requires that every water system provide
an annual Water Quality Report to its customers. The report is to contain information on the
potential contaminants present in the water supply that customers receive. The attached Water
Quality Report for the Port Angeles Water Supply has been prepared for distribution to the City's
water customers.
Recommendation: For Information Only
Background / Analysis: In 1996 Congress passed amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act
that included a mandate for the Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] to require community
water systems to provide each of their customers with a "Consumer Confidence Report [CCR]"
every 12 months. This year's report, using 2002 data, will be delivered to all City of Port
Angeles water customers with the May utility billing statement, along with a public information
announcement in the local paper, and posted on the City's web site. This year's report must be
distributed by July 1 st.
The attached Water Quality Report, based on calendar year 2002 data, has been developed in
accordance with the EPA/CCR regulations. The regulations require information on the quality of
the water delivered by the system, and characterization of any risks from exposure to any
contaminants in the drinking water, in an accurate and understandable manner. The report is
intended to communicate to customers the quality of their water in terms they can understand.
Many of the topics covered are required and some of the actual language used is mandatory. The
City was also required to provide information to wholesale customers by April 1 st. Testing
information will be forwarded to the Clallam County Public Utility District.

City of Port Angeles
Water Quality Report - 2002
Date
Dear Water Customer:
The City of Port Angeles is pleased to provide you with our annual Water Quality Report. The
purpose of this report is to tell our customers about the high quality of their water and their water
system. We aggressively safeguard our Elwha River and well supplies, which enables us to always
provide our customers with a reliable and safe water supply. This report is a summary of the quality
of water provided in 2002. It is a record reflecting the hard work by our employees to bring you
water that satisfies all of thc requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act. The report includes
details about where your water comes fi.om, its quality and how it compares to stringent standards set
by regulatory agencies. We believe that customers who are well informed are able to make better
decisions about their drinking water supply.
WATER SYSTEM INFORMATION
Source of the City's Water: The source for the City of Port Angeles Water System is a Ranney
Collector (well) located on the east bank of the Elwha River at mile post 1.9 in Section 3, T 30 N, R
7 W. The system identification number is 68550M.
The Ranney collector has been classified as groundwater under the influence (GWI) of surface water.
This designation requires the City to meet the requirements of the Surface Water Treatment Rule
(SWTR). The City evaluated regulatory compliance options available under the SWTR including
filtration and complying with criteria to avoid filtration. The City and the Washington State
Department of Health have negotiated an agreement that will effectively meet the filtration avoidance
requirement by the construction of a federally-funded municipal water treatment facility under the
Elwha River Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act. In the agreement the water treatment facility
will be in place before dam removal begins. The current schedule shows that the water treatment
facility will be in operation in 2006.
Water from the Ranney Collector is tested following the guidelines established by the Washington
State Department of Health to detect potential contaminants that could reasonably be expected to be
found in drinking water. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it
dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases radioactive material, and can pick up
substances resulting fi.om the presence of animals or from human activity. Because most of the land
through which the Elwha River flows is inside the Olympic National Park, there is limited

opportunity for human contamination of the water. Contaminants that might be expected in untreated
water include: biological contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria; inorganic contaminants, such as
salts and metals; pesticides and herbicides; organic chemicals from industrial or petroleum use, and
radioactive materials.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes
regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided to the public water systems.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water
which must provide the same protection for public health.
WATER QUALITY TESTING OCCURS DAILY BY CERTIFIED PERSONNEL
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health
risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the
Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline. (1-800-426-4791)
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population.
Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have
undergone organ transplants, people with H1V/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly,
and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking
water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of
infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking
Water Hotline. (1-800426-4791)
Disinfection in the City's water supply is accomplished by dosing the water with chlorine at the Rauney
Collector on the Elwha River and at the City's five reservoirs. The chlorine concentration is monitored
daily and is maintained at a minimum of .20 mg/1 throughout the system. In the year 2002, city water
quality personnel collected more than 300 water samples throughout the water distribution system.
None of the samples tested positive for coliform bacteria presence.
The City receives a number of calls each year about fluoridation. Fluoride is a natural substance found in
varying degrees in almost all water supply. Fluoride was not detected in the last sampling period. The
City is scheduled to start injecting fluoride into the drinking water in late 2003.
MONITORING WAIVERS, BILATERAL COMPLIANCE AGREEMENTS 0ICA)
The City was granted, by the Washington State Department of Health, a waiver through December 2002
for the sampling and testing for synthetic organic chemicals (herbicides, general pesticides). Previous
background test results indicated that these substances are not present in this source.
The City water system operates under two BCA's with Washington State Department of Health.
Docket # 7207 is titled Covering of Uncovered Finished Water Supply Reservoirs and Installation of
Corrosion Control and Docket # 00-02-014 is titled Groundwater Under the Influence of Surface Water.
Details for both of the BCA's are available upon request from the City of Port Angeles Water System
Superintendent at 360-417-4855.

Calcium and magnesium are naturally occurring minerals in groundwater. These minerals are measured
to determine water hardness. Hardness interferes with the sudsing of soap. According to the U.S.
Geological Survey ,the scale of hardness is: 0-55 mg/l = Soft; 55-100 mg/l = Slightly Hard; 100-200
mg/l =Moderately Hard; >200= Very Hard. Hardness sampling showed 42 mg/l taken in July 2002.
Appliance manufacturers convert this number into Grains per Gallon by dividing it by 17.1 (e.g., 42mg/l /
17.1 = 2.46 Grains per Gallon).
WATER CONSERVATION TIPS
Water conservation measures are an important first step in protecting our water supply. Such measures
not only save the supply of our water, but can also cut the cost of water treatment. Here are a few
suggestions:
Conservation measures you can use inside your home:
~ Fix leaking faucets, pipes, toilets, etc.
~ Install water saving devices in faucets, toilets and appliances. Replace old fixtures with new ones.
This will reduce water consumption by nearly one-half.
~ Wash only full loads of laundry.
~ Do not use the toilet for trash disposal.
~' Take shorter showers. Do not let the water run while shaving, washing, brushing teeth, or cleaning
fruits and vegetables.
~ Soak dishes before washing. Run the dishwasher only when full.
You can conserve outdoors as well:
~ Water the lawn and garden in the early morning or evening.
~ Use mulch around plants and shrubs.
~ Repair leaks in faucets and hoses. Use water-saving nozzles.
~ Use water from a bucket to wash your car. Save the hose for rinsing.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 8, 2003
To: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Larry Dunbar, Power Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Solar Water Heating Program Agreements
Summary: The Bonneville Power Administration recently offered the City participation in a turn.
key solar water heating program for residential customers called "The Bright Way To Hca
WaterTM''.
Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to the City Council that The
Bright Way To Heat WaterTM License Agreement with the Bonneville Power
Administration is approved and the Director of Public Works and Utilities, or his designee,
be authorized to enter into Amendment No. 1 of the City Authorized Contractor
Agreement with eligible contractors.
Background: On April 12, 2001, the City Council authorized the Director of Public Works and
Utilities to implement a conservation program that qualifies for the Bonneville Power
Administration (BPA) Conservation and Renewables Discount (C&RD) program. On May 22,
2001, the City Council authorized the Director of Public Works and Utilities to enter into City
Authorized Contractor Agreements with local independent contractors that install eligible
conservation improvements.
Analysis: BPA has recently purchased rights to a successful residential solar water heating
program called "The Bright Way To Heat WaterTM'' from the Eugene Water and Electric Board
located in Oregon State. In order for the City to provide its customers rebates under the C&RD
program for solar water heaters the City must enter into a license agreement with BPA and
amend the City Authorized Contractor Agreement. The license agreement between BPA and the
City grants the City the right to use and promote a trademark. The proposed amendment to the
City Authorized Contractor Agreement authorizes contractors that have attended BPA required
solar water heating system training to use the trademark and copyrighted materials. As part of the
proposed amendment the City would require solar water heating systems to meet minimum
material and installation specifications and inspect each installation.
Over the last two-years there has been increased customer and contractor interest in solar water
heating systems that staff believes help justify participation in the proposed program. A local
heating contractor, Air Flo Heating Company, who has entered into a City Authorized Contractor
Agreement to install heat pumps, attended the required BPA solar water heating program training
and has expressed interest in promoting solar water heating systems to City customers.

RE: Solar Water Heating Program Agreements
Page 2
Renewable resource research, development and demonstration funding
In order to help ensure that a solar water heating program is successful, Staff proposes to
combine the $800 C&RD rebate for a solar water heater system with C&RD renewable resource
research, development and demonstration (P,X)&D) funding for thc first two installations. By
combining the C&RD and RD&D funds thc customer's initial cost of thc first two installations
will be 25% of total cost (in thc range of $1,000 to $1,500). Use of RD&D funding in
subsequent years in support of The Bright Way To Heat WaterTM program may also be
appropriate. Customers receiving RD&D funding would be required to agree to a lien that would
bc filed against their home that would require repayment of the RD&D funding to the City upon
the sale of their home. A total of $20,000 in RD&D funding is available under thc C&RD
program. All City costs under thc C&RD and RD&D are reimbursed by BPA.
Staff, in cooperation with Air Flo Heating Company, plans to hold a solar water heating
workshop in May to promote thc availability of the program and to recruit two customers to
participate in this year's RD&D activities. Customers participating in thc RD&D activity will be
selected based on solar access, adequate family size/water heating demand, case of installation,
and other factors. Customers receiving RD&D funding would be required to read and report
solar water heating system metering data to the City on a monthly basis through September 30,
2006 which would be available to the public in an anonymous format via the world-wide-web.

DATE: April 8, 2003
TO: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Stephen Sperr, P.E., Engineering Manager
RE: Downtown Watermain/Sidewalks Phase III, Project 00-19, Loan Application
Summary: This loan application is for the third and final phase of the project to replace the
watermains and sidewalks in the downtown area. It will replace all remaining downtown
watermains originally installed in 1914. It will also include sidewalk replacement with pavers in
the watermain replacement areas along portions of First Street (Both sides, between Laurel and
Valley Streets), the north side of Front Street between Laurel and Oak Streets, and if bidding and
fimds allow, the west side of Laurel street between Railroad Avenue and Front Street).
Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation that City Council authorize the
Mayor to sign both the PWTF and DWSRF loan application certifications in an amount
not to exceed $2,600,000 for Phase III of the Downtown Watermain/Sidewalk Replacement
Project. In addition, if either or both the loans are approved, authorize the Mayor to
execute the PWTF and/or DWSRF loan agreement(s) provided that the total loan amount
does not exceed $2,600,000.
Background/Analysis: This is the third phase of the project to replace the watermains and
sidewalks in the downtown area. Phase I was completed in 1999. Phase I1 was completed in
January 2001. Completion of Phase III will bring the entire downtown area to a service level that
meets current fire flow standards. In addition, the replacement mains will provide added safety
measures against failure due to age (original watermains were installed in 1914) and seismic
risks. In conjunction with the watemaain replacement, sidewalks will be replaced in many areas
with pavers which enhance the downtown appearance.
Phase III will replace watermains and install sidewalk pavers in the following areas:
1. North side of Front Street between Laurel and Oak Streets.
2. South side of Front Street from Oak Street to Valley Street.
3. Both sides of First Street from Oak Street to Valley Street.
In addition, watermain only will be replaced along the east side Of Cherry Street from Front
Street to First Street. See the attached map for more details.
April 8, 2003 UAC
Phase III Downtown Watermain/Sidewalks
Page 2 of 2
There are also provisions to place sidewalk pavers along the west side of Laurel Street between
Railroad Avenue and First Street if sufficient funding is obtained. This area includes that section
of the remaining hollow sidewalks (the west side of Laurel Street from Front Street south to the
alley) that has been proposed to remain that way. This portion of the project does not have
existing watermain, so a Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) loan would not be able
to fund this section of work, while a Public Works Trust Fund (PWTF) loan would likely be able
to.
The City submitted a PWTF loan application for Phase IH in 2001 and 2002, but it did not make
the list of funded projects. The City is in the process of completing this year's application, after
consultation with the Washington State Public Works Board, with revisions that should result in
a higher ranking. The application will be submitted before the May 12, 2003 deadline.
In addition, this year the City will also submit a DWSRF loan application for the same work.
DWSRF loans are more competitive, but it may be used as a local match for a PWTF loan.
The project to install sidewalk pavers on the west side of Laurel Street between Railroad Avenue
and First Street is currently included in the Capital Facilities Plan (GG02-01) as a 2004 project
and the total cost of the project is $350,000. The estimated added cost to construct a structural
sidewalk to protect the historic underground storefront is $100,000, for a total of $450,000.
Assuming that we would proceed with a 15% match to obtain the lowest PWTF loan interest rate
the City's matching funds for the Laurel Street sidewalk would be $67,500 from the general
fund. $50,000 was allocated in 2002 for the sidewalk replacement. Should the PWTF loan not be
approved and the project is constructed using a DWSRF loan the Laurel Street sidewalk will not
be eligible for funding and its entire cost, $450,000, would need to come from the general fund.
The final decision to construct the Laurel Street can be made following receipt of the loan
application results.
The total project is currently included in the Capital Facilities Plan (WT30-99) as a 2004 project
and the total cost of the project is $2,600,000. The PWTF loan interest rate will be 0.5 - 2.0%
over 20 years, depending on the local match amount, which is currently being evaluated. The
DWSRF loan interest rate will be 0.0 - 1.5% over 20 years, depending on the local income level.
The Utility Advisory Committee supported the previous PWTF loan applications in 2001 and
2002.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 8, 2003
TO: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Stephen Sperr, Engineering Manager
SUBJECT: Consultant Agreement with Brown & Caldwell for Engineering Services
Summary:. Brown & Caldwell, Inc. has been selected to continue to provide engineering
services related to the Infiltration/Inflow (FI) Roof Drain Disconnection Pilot, a Condition
Assessment of the Sewer Collection System, an update to the Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO)
Comprehensive Reduction Plan and other services as directed. The Agreement will ensure that
ongoing engineering services provided by Brown & Caldwell will continue, and additional needs
related to the City's Wastewater System will be met in the near future. The proposed Agreement
has a not-to-exceed amount of $159,920.
Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council authorizing the
Mayor to sign an Agreement for Professional Services with Brown & Caldwell in an
amount not to exceed $159,920.
Background / Analysis: On October 17, 2000, the City signed an Agreement with Brown &
Caldwell to provide engineering services for a number of tasks related to the City's Wastcwater
Treatment Plant (WWTP), Sanitary Sewer Collection System, CSOs and Stormwater. Though
thc Agreement expired July 1, 2002, Brown & Caldwell is continuing to provide services under
the existing Agreement. Recently, the City has been working with Brown & Caldwell in
developing a scope and budget for the continuation of services for existing tasks, and new tasks
that are funded as part of the City's 2003 budget.
The scope of some of the existing tasks has been revised several times to reflect ongoing system
modeling and results of preliminary design work. Instead of amending the existing Agreement, it
was clear that the best approach to addressing the remaining work and the new tasks was to
execute a new Agreement. Continuing with Brown and Caldwell is in the best interest of the
City due to their in-depth knowledge of existing City programs and projects. City staff are
satisfied with Brown and Caldwell's expertise and ongoing engineering support services in the
wastewater and stormwater areas.
Table 1 outlines the key tasks in the proposed new Agreement, with 2003 budgets and estimated
2004 budget. All tasks are funded by thc Wastewater Utility. The funding for tasks anticipated
to continue into or start in 2004 will bc added to the Agreement as funds are made available,

The duration of the Agreement will be through January 31, 2004. Funds for the tasks are in the
2003 budget or will be requested in future budgets. Tasks will only be executed when funds
become available. If progress on tasks during 2003 is satisfactory, the Agreement will likely be
amended in 2004 to include wastewater design work budgeted for that year.

RE: Elwha River Salmon Hatchery Lease
Summary: The Washington Department o£ Fish and Wildli£e (WDFW) operates a Ilsh rearing
facility on leased City property adjacent to the Elwha River and the City's Industrial Water Line
(IWL). The lease allowing them to operate on the site and use a portion of the water diverted from
the Elwha River IWL expired in March 2003. A new 3-year lease is being negotiated, to include
terms similar to previous lease agreements, as well as addressing new issues related to the Elwha
Dam Removal Project.
Recommendation: Forward a favorable recommendation to City Council to authorize the
Mayor t.o. sign a lease with the WDFW for property adjacent to the Elwha River, subject to any
substantial changes to the attached contract being reviewed by UAC before Council action.
Background/Analysis: The Washington Department of Fisheries, now part of WDFW,
constructed a salmon rearing facility on City property next to the Elwha River in the 1970's. The
facility was built to mitigate the impacts that the two dams on the Elwha River had on salmon
stocks in the river. Previous leases allowed the WDFW to operate the facility and use a portion
of the city's manufacturing water right (up to 50 cubic feet per second out of the original water
right certificate amount of 150 cfs) from the surface water intake built by the City in 1929.
The current lease was entered into in March 2000, for a period of 3 years. Previous leases were
of much longer duration, but due to the unknown impact of the federally-funded Elwha
Ecosystem and Fisheries Restoration Act (the Elwha Act) at the time, a short lease seemed
appropriate. The lease being negotiated currently is also proposed to be of 3 years duration, and
addresses some issues that have come up relative to the Elwha Act. These new issues are as
follows:
1. Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP)
The lease will include wording to the effect that the WDFW agrees to support efforts by the City
and the National Park Service in obtaining a "low effect" HCP to allow activities to take place in
the Elwha River to prevent channel meander away from the rearing facility and the City's Ranney
Collector well.

Page 2 of 2
2. Fish Screens
The lease will include wording committing WDFW to maintaining fish screens on intake
facilities associated with facilities constructed under the Elwha Act and/or City's Industrial
Water Line (IWL).
3. Permitting & Construction of Facilities under the Elwha Act
The lessee will agree to cooperate in the permitting and construction phases of the facilities to be
constructed under the Elwha Act.
4. Use of City Water
Previous leases allowed the facility to divert as much as 50 cfs of surface water, using that part of
the City's manufacturing water fight set aside for "fish rearing". It is proposed under the new
lease to allow up to 36 cfs to be used by the facility, with the balance of the 50 cfs to be to be
used by the City as it sees fit, subject to the water right.
All other terms of the previous lease either remain in place or have been removed because they
were no longer applicable. The terms remaining in place include details on the operation or
modification of the facility, the coordination of activities with Daishowa America and other
potential users of the IWL, access to the site, record drawings and liability.
The City Attorney's office has been working with Public Works and Utilities staff, as well as the
WDFW, to finalize a new lease in a timely manner. It is recommended that the UAC allow staff
to forward the draft lease to WDFW for consideration before sending it to the City Council. If
substantial changes are desired, than the lease will be brought back to the UAC for consideration
before it is submitted to the City Council.

payment, and collection of this contract shall be as specified in the City's Utility Accounts Ordinance, 13.16
?AMC.
4. Pre-annexation agreement
The Port Angeles City Council, by Ordinance No. 3082, has established a policy of allowing the
extension of City utility services into its urban growth areas without annexation. The policy of the
Washington State Growth Management Act is that urban growth areas should be incorporated into cities at

owners (including those that increase their service size) using the City's wholesale water shall execute,
record, and provide a copy to the City of the attached (Attachment 1 ) pre-annexation agreement before water
service is provided. The property owner shall pay for all of its costs and for the recording fees associated
with the pre~annexation agreement.
The pre-annexation agreement shall be a covenant running with the land and therefore shall be
binding on the current property owner and all successors in interest in the property serviced by the City's
wholesale water.
-4-
The property owner shall be reformed by the District that the City is providing wholesale water based
on plans for annexation of the property to the City of Port Angeles. The District shall not install water

forms provided in exhibt "A" may be changed upon written notification by the City.
5. Termination.
This Contract shall terminate with the last billing cycle in December, 2005, or upon 60 days written
notice by either party, whichever is earlier.

cables are not replaced. Cable failures each require 1-3 days to find and repair.
Impact if not executed:
Delays in restoring power to Elwha pumps and other customers on this line.
Remarks Date Revised [

to be completed in 2002.
