Regular City Council Meeting <br />June 16, 2003 <br />Page 20 <br /> <br />Councilman Plata wanted to know how many people did these cities have in the <br />lift stations. Mr. Campbell said that Greenville has people committed to lift <br />stations and the reason they do is because they are under what is called an SSI? <br />Program (Sanitary Sewer Improvement Program). Mr. Campbell said that some <br />of the others have the lift stations included in their wastewater plants and some <br />of them have dedicated lift stations crews. Mr. Campbell said the people who <br />have switched from dedicated lift station crews are rethinking their decision, and <br />he has talked to others such as Lewisville, where they do not have a lift station <br />crew, but it is not working as well as in Denton. Councilman Plata said he had <br />checked out all of these cities and none of them have lift station crews. Mr. <br />Campbell said he did not think that was true in Greenville because they work <br />under their SSI? Program. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell advised that the next page is the Lift Station Comparison from <br />1987 to 2003 and there have been a lot of changes made, plus a lot of life <br />stations have been added. There is also a Major Equipment List for all of the lift <br />stations. Mr. Campbell said the next page is the Time Breakdown (Hours) for <br />calendar year 2002, and they went into great detail for the time breakdown. Mr. <br />Campbell broke down the time for three lift station people and this is a time <br />breakdown in hours for last year and it tells in great detail what these people do. <br />Mr. Campbell asked the Council to look through this breakdown and they will <br />see all of the things they do. Page 16 of 18 shows everything that they do <br />broken down by the percent of time they spend; pump repair and preventive <br />maintenance are the largest items and that is what he wants them to be doing. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell went to the next page which shows from 1987 to the present. He <br />said that he can only speak for the time he has been with the City of Paris <br />because no one was keeping these records before he came. It was required by <br />law, if there were overflows in the sanitary sewer or anywhere else, like a lift <br />station, it is suppose to be reported. It is called a noncompliance notification <br />and that is what the NCN Report is. Mr. Campbell said the orange line goes <br />way up; but on the lower left you will see that a big dent was made in lift station <br />overflows during his first two years with the city. Since that time, the lift station <br />overflow is fiat and that is where they want to keep it. Mr. Campbell said it <br /> <br /> <br />
