Home My WebLink AboutTIC 2017-06-13 Item 2E - Purchase - Multi-Channel Water Monitoring SystemCity of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Transportation & Infrastructure Committe FROM: Bob Giberson, Public Works Director.• BY: Pat Brodin, Public Works Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: June 9, 2017 SUBJECT: Purchase Multi - Channel Water Monitoring System ISSUE Committee approval of the purchase of capital equipment in accordance with City policy. BACKGROUND The City of Tukwila's purchasing policies require all unbudgeted capital equipment valued over $5,000 be approved by Council Committee and the Mayor. This multi - channel water monitoring system was not listed in the Water fund's capital machinery and equipment budget for 2017, therefore it requires Committee approval. The Department of Health requires that systems must measure their water distribution system's disinfectant residuals in surface water at the same time and location that total coliform bacteria are sampled in the water distribution system, or once per day, whichever is greater. Previously, Washington State Department of Health approved a regional monitoring plan for Seattle Public Utilities to conduct this monitoring on behalf of all their wholesale water distribution systems. This approval has now changed and the Department of Health is now requiring each wholesale customer to conduct the required distribution residual monitoring. As the City of Tukwila's water district is a wholesale water customer of Seattle Public Utilities, the City will now be required to conduct the testing. ANALYSIS The Kuntze Multi- Channel Water Monitoring System will enable automated 24/7 monitoring and data logging of chlorine residual within the City's water distribution system. FINANCIAL IMPACT The $7,704.40 purchase of the Kuntze Multi - Channel Water Monitoring System is within the Water Fund's 2017 capital machinery and equipment budget of $25,000. RECOMMENDATION Committee approval to purchase the Kuntze Multi - Channel Water Monitoring System from the sole source vendor, Correct Equipment in Redmond, Washington for $7,704.40.

As the manager of a water system that purchases treated surface water you are responsible for maintaining a detectible chlorine residual throughout your distribution system. Previously, we had approved a regional monitoring plan for Seattle Public Utilities to conduct this monitoring on behalf of all of their wholesale systems. This approval has now changed and we are requiring each wholesale customer to conduct the required distribution residual monitoring. Maintaining a chlorine residual is an important protective measure for your system. It can help prevent bacterial regrowth and protect your users from contamination by • Treatment breakthrough, • Leaking pipes, valves, and joint seals, • Cross - connection and backflow, • Unsecured openings in water storage tanks, • Improper treatment of equipment or materials before and during main repair, and • Intentional introduction of contaminants into distribution system. Monitoring the residual on a regular basis helps you to identify problems that might put your system at risk. You have three requirements under the Drinking Water Regulations (see applicable WAC References below): 1. measure the chlorine residual within the distribution system on a daily basis and at the same time and location as coliform sampling. Public Health - Always Working for a Safer and Healthier Washington 18 ;q48 2. maintain a detectible chlorine residual within the distribution system in at least 95 percent of the measurements taken each calendar month. Unless you have specially - designed testing equipment such as continuous chlorine analyzers, detectible means a minimum residual of 0.2 mg /L. 3. report the results of that monitoring to the Department of Health on a monthly basis. Enclosed is a master copy of the current report form. Please make copies and start using it right away. The monthly report is due by the tenth day of the following month. In addition to the monitoring and reporting requirements, there are ongoing requirements for routine verification (every 5 days) of continuous chlorine analyzers.
