Regular City Council Meeting <br />June 16, 2003 <br />Page 18 <br /> <br />The next page was a list of all the pumps in the Water Treatment Plant Division <br />and the next page is the scope of services agreement that the city has with Freese <br />and Nichols and he knew what they were doing when they were conducting this <br />water treatment plant evaluation. He asked the City Council to look at item nine <br />which shows where they are suppose to estimate the staffing requirements for <br />the current and future capacities (if they are different). So, they are looking <br />ahead on that. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell said the next page is for Water and Wastewater Plant is an <br />illustration showing the schedules as they were recommended. Mr. Campbell <br />asked Councilman Plata why he recommended that the city use a day shift <br />operator at the water plant but he did not make that recommendation for the <br />wastewater plant. Councilman Plata explained that there was not a need for an <br />operator at the sewer treatment plant. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell asked that they look at the next page, which is a comparison he <br />did with other cities, Greenville, Sherman, Denison, Mt. Pleasant, Corsicana and <br />Lewisville. He said that Lewisville is a lot larger than the City of Paris, but we <br />compare comparably to this, and this gives a lot of information such as the water <br />rates, population, wastewater, water source, water plant capacity, and their <br />average water production. If you will notice, the city's average water <br />production is 11.4, which is higher than any other of the cities listed including <br />Lewisville, as they have a purchase contract with Dallas Water Utilities and they <br />purchase 7.5 million gallons a day, but they only treat 4 ½ million a day. Mr. <br />Campbell said that the city's peak flow is higher than all of them, but the <br />interesting point is the next number down which is called water production <br />dollars per 1,000 gallons and the city's water production cost is $0.56 per 1,000 <br />gallons; Greenville is $0.79. Sherman you will have to read the notes to get <br />theirs because it is convoluted. Denison gets their water from wells, so naturally <br />they would be lower than the city. Mt. Pleasant is about the same as Paris's, <br />Corsicana and Lewisville are a lot higher than the City of Paris. <br /> <br />Regarding the wastewater plant, Mr. Campbell said there are different types. <br />Greenville has the simplest type, a trickling filter system. Mr. Campbell said the <br /> <br /> <br />
