<br />06 <br /> <br />TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1987 <br /> <br />Incorporated, which is located (in the City's service area) outside the City on Route <br /> <br />57-A, known as the Woodland Heights Mart (but excluding petitioner's adjoining lot on <br /> <br />which oil storage tanks are located) may obtain City water service. <br /> <br />By memorandum report from Mr. John H. Dyches, the City's Water Resources Director, to <br /> <br />City Manager Brown, supplemented by verbal comments in response to inquiries from <br /> <br />members of Council, Council was apprised of the status of on-going improvements at <br /> <br />the City's Water Pollution Control Plant, consisting of the expanding of the <br /> <br />treatment capacity of WPC Plant from 6.0 MGD to 8.0 MGD and Color Removal (200 ADMI) <br /> <br />requirements and limitations to become effective January 1, 1989. Council learned <br /> <br /> <br />that, because of unfavorable weather conditions and other adverse factors, completion <br /> <br />of the expansion project has been extended beyond the original schedule and, too, <br /> <br />total project cost is expected to be $1,762,900.00 instead of $1,721,400.00, as <br /> <br /> <br />originally estimated. Council learned, too, that since project expansion began, <br /> <br />flows into the City's system have increased significantly, particularly in recent <br /> <br />months, with the City now receiving approximately 8.0 MGD while an additional 1.5 MGD <br /> <br />of City flow is being diverted to the Henry County Public Service Authority's Upper <br /> <br />Smith River Treatment Plant, resulting in severe overloading of the City's 6.0 MGD <br /> <br /> <br />plant capacity as well as pushing the PSA's USRT plant to its 4.0 MGD capacity. <br /> <br />Accordingly, Council was informed, it is most urgent that the Henry County PSA's <br /> <br /> <br />proposed Lower Smith River Treatment Plant be constructed and completed as soon as <br /> <br />possible. The second part of Mr. Dyches' report, which described color removal pilot <br /> <br />tests, indicated that all methods tested proved effective, in varying degrees, but <br /> <br />may be prohibitively expensive if put into operation; thus, viable options are being <br /> <br />sought and studied. The report further indicated that the City's consulting <br /> <br />engineers (Wiley & Wilson) are now preparing final reports and recommendations which, <br /> <br />when received (anticipated within the next two weeks), will be reviewed with <br />
