UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 12, 2005
TO: IJTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Bill Beverford, Water/Wastewater Collection Superintendent
SUBJECT: Consumer Confidence/Water Quality Report for calendar year 2004
Summary: The Washington State Department of Health requires that every water system
~rovide an annual Consumer Confidence Report to its customers. The report is to contain
nformation on the potential contaminants present in the water supply that customers receive.
The attached report for thc Port Angeles Water Supply has been prepared for distribution to the
City's water customers.
tecommendation: For Information Only.
Background/Analysis: In 1996 Congress passed amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act
that included a mandate from the Enviroumental Protection Agency (EPA), to require
community water systems to provide each of their customers with a "Consumer Confidence
Report (CCR)" every twelve months. This year's report, using 2004 data, will be delivered to all
City of Port Angeles water customers with the May utility billing statements, along with a public
information announcement in thc local paper, and posted on the City's website. This year's
report must be distributed by July 1, 2005.
The attached Water Quality Report for calendar year 2004 has been developed in accordance
with the EPA/CCR regulations by City staff. The regulations require information on the quality
of the water delivered by the system, and characterization of any risks from exposure to
contaminants in the drinking water in an accurate and understandable manner. The City has
already provided the content of the Water Quality Report to out wholesale customers and
Clallam County Public Utility District #1 as it is required to do by April 1st, 2005.

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:
3..) Fix leaking faucets, pipes, toilets, etc.
2.) Install water saving devices in faucets, toilets, and appliances. Replace old fixtures with new ones. This will reduce wa-
ter consumption by nearly one-half.
3.) Wash only full loads of laundry.
4.) Do not use the toilet for trash disposal.
5.) Take shorter showers. Do not let the water run while shaving, washing, brushing teeth, or cleaning fruits and vegetables.
6.) Soak dishes before washing. Run the dishwasher only when full.
YOU CAN CONSERVE OUTDOORS AS WELL:
1.) Water the lawn and garden in the early morning or evening.
2.) Use mulch around plants and shrubs.
3.) Repair leaks in faucets and hoses. Use water-saving nozzles.
4.) Use water from a bucket to wash your vehicle. Save the hose for rinsing.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 12, 2005
TO: UTILITY/kDVI$ORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Scott McLain, Deputy Director for Power Systems
SUBJECT'- Water Shortage Response Plan
Summary: The lack of snow pack this winter has set up the possibility that the City's Water
Shortage Response Plan could be implemented by the City Council this summer. It is prudent
that the UAC discuss the options available should the plan be implemented.
Recommendation: Discuss options available, no action necessary.
Background/Analysis: The snow pack in the Olympic mountains feeding the Elwha drainage
system is much lower than normal this year. Even though the area has been receiving snow and
rain for the past few weeks, the snow depth and water content are considerably below normal.
This may cause the implementation of the City's Water Shortage Response Plan sometime this
sunlrner.
Stage I of the Water Shortage Response Plan has been declared alerting internal staff that a
promotional campaign for water conservation may be needed in the near future. If further stages
are implemented, the following actions will be undertaken at each stage:
Stage II Voluntary conservation. Begin public information campaign.
Stage III Outdoor restrictions. Voluntary sprinkling restrictions. Intensive public
information.
Stage IV Mandatory outdoor restrictions. Essential water uses only.
Stage V Water rationing.
More information along with updated snow pack information will be provided at the UAC
meeting.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 12, 2005
TO: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
I~OM: Gary W. Kenworthy P.E.,
Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: Public Works & Utilities Engineering Workload
Summary: The 2005 design and construction project support workload for the engineering
division is significant. In addition, the development arena has been at a record levels. This
activity adds significant support, review, permitting and inspection requirements to staWs
workload. An added impact to the division was the resignation of an engineer in January and the
lost time (3 months) required to advertise, interview, and select an engineer to fill the position. It
will be a challenge to meet all schedule expectations and some projects may need to be delayed.
Recommendation: No Action Required. Report provided for information only.
Background/Analysis: Attached is a summary of the Public Works and Utilities Engineering
Division Workload, which lists projects and activities for 2005. The workload summary is
broken down by design, construction, and other activities. The development arena has been at
record levels. This activity adds significant support, review, permitting and inspection
requirements to staWs workload. An added impact to the division was the resignation of an
engineer in January and the lost time (3 months) required to advertise, interview, and select an
engineer to fill the position. In addition, starting the first of the year, we are now providing
engineering management of the Parks Division's design and construction projects. It will be a
real challenge to meet all schedule expectations this year without added staff. Some of the listed
project designs are by consultants. The consultant design work, however, does require
significant management support. We are reviewing the project load and some projects may need
to be delayed. Proposed project delays will be provided to the UAC and City Council as
identified.

UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEMO
DATE: April 12, 2005
To: UTILITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
FROM: Gary W. Kenworthy P.E.,
Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer
SUBJECT: LANDFILL STORMWATER AND BLUFF PROTECTION COSTS
Summary: Stormwater improvements are needed for the new transfer station, water treatment
plant, and landfill closure. In addition the marine bluff need toe protection to prevent further
erosion. This report has been provided to update the UAC on the projected costs of these
projects.
Recommendation: No action required. Provided for information only.
Background/Analysis: The purpose of this memo is to provide the UAC with an update of
estimated construction costs for the pending landfill stormwater improvements later this year and
the bluff protections costs scheduled for 2006.
The stormwater improvements need to be in place to accept runoff from the new transfer station
construction, which will be starting this fall. The stormwater improvements will also need to be
in place to accept flows from the new water treatment plant as well. In that the new water
treatment plant is being contracted as a mitigation measure to the Elwha Dam removal the
National Park Service (NPS) will share in the stormwater improvement costs. The new
stormwater improvements will result in relocation of the current stormwater discharge to Dry
Creek to a point near the creek's discharge into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The new discharge
point location has been negotiated as part of the required hydraulic permit for the project. The
estimated construction cost for the stormwater improvements is $650,000 including engineering,
15% contingencies, construction management and sales tax. This figure also includes $300,000
for road construction. It is estimated that the NPS share will be around $150,000. The solid
waste utility CIP budget contains $216,000 in 2005 for this project. Additional funding will be
required from the Solid Waste reserve fund for completion of this project in 2005. The design is
scheduled to be completed in June and permitting should be completed in time for start of
construction early this fall.
Stormwater/B luff Protection Memo

The bluffprotection improvements are required to stabilize a portion of the original landfill that
is in danger of failing due to wave erosion at the base of the bluff. Some early landfill materials
have already been exposed by wave action. The Department of Ecology and Clallam County
Department of Health are requiring that the bluffbe stabilized to prevent a large-scale failure.
Due to the near beach location of the work, the permitting has been a challenge. The City and our
consultant, Parametrix, have been working with all permitting agencies to find an affordable
solution that will provide adequate environment protection. The current alternatives being
considered for the bluff protection include slope armoring and three wall options. The estimated
costs for the viable alternatives are in the range of $3 to $3.5 million which includes a 25%
contingency. The current schedule proposed submittal of the final permits to the agencies at the
end of July 2005, and to meet with the agencies in August, with the goal of obtaining permits by
November 2005. This is the critical path to have bid specifications by the end of 2005 and start
construction in June 2006. The June start is needed to meet "fish windows" for near shore work,
and to be able to dispose of excavated refuse in the landfill prior final closure in the fall of 2006.
With engineering and construction management, $4.0 million should be included in the solid
waste budget for 2006.
