Staff attends mandatory safety meetings each month. This month, the safety meeting was held on Thursday, October 19, 2017.

Notices of Non-Compliance were also sent to 1460 Blue Forest Drive, 720 Columbia Drive, 1550 Lakeside Drive, 2960 Gentle Creek Trail. These water customers have been notified of their obligation to test backflow devices in a mailed first notice and a hand delivered second notice. If their backflow devices remain non-compliant 30 days after delivery of the non-compliance notice, they will be subject to disconnection of water services.

Surface Water Pumped

Water

Staff continues to conduct the monthly flushing program which is required by Texas

Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The program requires staff to flush each

dead end main lines once a month to ensure the quality of the drinking water and

maintain the free chlorine residual in the water. In October, staff flushed 22.5 MG of

water. The extra flushing is being experienced by Frisco and McKinney also, to maintain a

level of 1.3 Parts Per Million (PPM) for a residual at our outlaying parts of the system. We

have seen the residual fall over night to 0.7 to 0.8 PPM. Low water use, lower residual

levels coming in from NTMWD, high temperatures and large pipes that don’t circulate are

all factors.

bring awareness of water conservation and recycling. Staff

worked with the National Art Society to have Prosper

students design artwork for the planters that encourages

water conservation and recycling. The planter boxes are in

Quarterly Grease Trap Inspections

The FOG Outreach Plan has been implemented to comply with the EPA’s Administrative

Order. The FOG Outreach Plan is a large section of our required CMOM Plan. Grease

interceptors will be inspected on a quarterly basis for the first year to determine a

mandated cleaning schedule businesses must follow. Grease interceptors that are not

emptied regularly can contribute to Sanitary Sewer Overflows. Staff inspected 23

grease interceptors in October and have processed 26 Notice of Violations this quarter

period.
