MANAGER'S REPORT

Projects Update

Manager Halverson updated the Board on the following projects:

Irrigation: Irrigation is underway. The addition of the third traveler has been nice. So far, the process has been smooth, keeping up with inflow. The only issue starting to arise is the algae bloom which happens when there is no rain at all. The new aerators have arrived and once installed in A cell will help with the algae bloom.

MANAGER'S REPORT CONTINUED

Projects Update Continued

Disinfection Plan: Kennedy Jenks has completed the draft and after some corrections are made, they will be forwarding it to DEQ. It should not be a problem with DEQ other than the time it takes to get it back from DEQ. DEQ likes it when entities eliminate chlorine and sulfur dioxide gas.

Eastside of Hwy 101 NKN Mountain: Manager Halverson reported the latest update he heard was the owners are progressing towards a development. The property remains zoned for septic tanks only. NKN Water District is working with experts to determine the best way to handle the potential of septic tanks with their drain fields effecting their water supply area. There are some new state of the art septic tank methods available which may be possible to help ease the concerns for their water supply. Owen Nicholson reported that NKN Water may also have a problem with the supply of water. If the development is built out as zoned, the availability of water may be an issue. Also, Commissioner Yamamoto apparently is being asked to assist the county in changing the zoning lifting the requirement for septic tanks only.

Manzanita Village: The project has been quiet as far as NBWA is concerned. As soon as the project gets a clear approval of what it can and cannot do from the City of Manzanita, we will be contacted for the sewer requirement. Manager Halverson explains to anyone who asked about capacity and other sewer related questions, the project is not an overnight build out. It is a phase by phase project that is projected to take over 10 years to complete.

Administration Building Force Main Project: Manager Halverson reported Kennedy/Jenks has declared the project complete.
