Mayor Fendley called for a presentation from Freese and Nichols on the Water Treatment Plant Evaluation and Production Study. Mike Morrison, Vice President with Freese and Nichols, came forward, stating that the Paris Plant was a well operated plant. He introduced the project manager, Hisam Mussulam, also known as Hutch. Mr. Mussullam stated that the purpose of the study was to evaluate the capacity of the water treatment plant and to also estimate the water demand projections through 2025 and to review current and future regulations. The study compared the City of Paris Water Treatment Plant with other cities that have water treatment plants with similar capacities. Freese and Nichols.studied each component of the Water Treatment Plant and found a problem in the sedimentation basins. Mr. Mussullam stated the plant was rated at 32.3 MGD but the reliable capacity of the sedimentation basins is really about 20 MGD. He said when the sedimentation basins were designed the effluent quality was at 1.0 NTU and is now less than 0.3 NTU which indicates a need for bigger sedimentation basins. He related that the plant's filtration is at 31.1 MGD which is much .higher than its rated capacity. They projected about 28,800 residential water customers in 2025 with about 12,300 connections.
