A. Adoption of the 2005 Water System Plan Update Mike explained that the consultant contract
with EES (which was subsequently purchased by HDR Consultants) began the update in 2004 and
was completed in March 2005. The report was sent to the Dept of Health (DOH) and they delayed
approval due to Cascade Water Alliance' Transmission Supply Plan (TSP). DOH was concerned
about the "defined block" of water supply even though we were still purchasing water from the
same source, the City of Seattle. Jim H asked if any other Water Districts were delayed and Pat
responded that Skyway Water System threatened to sue DOH in order to get their update approved.
We also had to get King County's approval due to CWA's Transmission Supply Plan. Once
King County approved, then DOH followed. There were no revisions to the plan from King County
or DOH. With the delay, Pat was concerned that we would go into operating under a yellow status
as opposed to our current green status. Our next update will be in 2010.
Jim H went over some of the hilights in the update, including annexation plans, private wells
(Tukwila has no public wells), river water used as irrigation at the Foster Golf course, reclaimed
water, and the highest water users (Shasta Beverage). Pat also explained our water loss goal of 10%
each year and that it is now mandated. We have tried to assess water loss by leak detection surveys
and auditing fire lines (fire lines are not metered). We have had water stolen by individuals tapping
hydrants and have also lost water by our Fire dept flushing hydrants. We have begun metering
some of the larger fire lines such as Boeing and Fire Station 51. The fire dept currently pays a flat
standby fee for all City hydrants. Jim M explained that the NPDES permit will be beneficial to
water loss as we will no longer be able to flush water since it is chlorinated and would damage the
fish. If we had to flush the water mains, we would have to add Vitamin C to the water to
compensate for the chlorination. We also discussed the high water pressure and Pat explained that
it is based on elevation and being able to get the water to flow. Joan asked about the reservoir and
we keep it 50% full and have the tank circulating constantly. Unanimous approval: forward
Resolution to next COW.

Joan thanked Frank for the latest recycling pamphlet.
