I will be checking into why wells 4 and 5 are not running.
In the meantime it is my recommendation that we continue with the
level 1 curtailment. I am halting the watering of all city parks
and property with the exception of Perkins Park. The PW staff will
continue to monitor compliance of the odd/even watering. If you
have any questions please call me. I will be out for several hours
this morning but will be available by cell. Thanks, Jim

As of my conversation this morning with Steve in Dayton, the City
of Dayton did enact their water restriction ordinance. I’m not
exactly sure what that entails, but it is in effect.
City of Lafayette
Water Update
Dear Water Customer:
Our goal is to provide every citizen of this
community with an adequate water supply. Unfortunately, with the
hot weather, this has not proven to be adequate to keep up with
the demand that has occurred over the last few weeks, and the
reservoir has fallen to a level that requires action by the City.
At this time we have no other choice but to
declare that water usage must be curtailed. The restrictions that
are going into effect JULY 27, 2010 are listed below.
I am asking you to make every effort to comply
with these restrictions and conserve water in any other way you
can.
NOTICE
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT The City Administrator of
Lafayette has declared a
Level 1 Water Crisis Beginning July 27, 2010
THE FOLLOWING ACTIVITIES FOR WATERING ARE REQUIRED
UNDER A LEVEL 1 DECLARATION: ODD/EVEN WATERING
-EVEN NUMBERED ADDRESSES CAN ONLY WATER ON EVEN
NUMBERED DAYS OF THE MONTH.
-ODD NUMBERED ADDRESSES CAN ONLY WATER ON ODD
NUMBERED DAYS OF THE MONTH.
THIS DECLARATION WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT UNTIL
FURTHER NOTICE.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE RESTRICTIONS
LISTED ABOVE, PLEASE CALL THE PUBLIC
WORKS FOREMAN, JIM ANDERSON, AT 503-437-0401.
Thank you for your continued cooperation,
Trena McManus

Subject: Reservoir Levels
Just an update where we are at this morning. Lafayette’s reservoir
dropped from 24’ yesterday to 21.5’ this morning. We are
officially below the fire flow mark. I will be posting this at the
fire station. The reservoir in Dayton is at 14.5’ as of this
morning. Dayton’s other reservoir is empty. They have been below
fire flows since Sat. Jim
The following is a memo that was put out to the Council at the
Special Session Meeting On Monday July 26, 2010. It comes from the
Public Works Foreman, Jim Anderson. The original memo is located
here if you would like to print and pass around.
Memo
To: Mayor & City Council
From: Jim Anderson, Public Works Foreman
Date: July 26,2010
Re: Current water situation
Mayor and Council, This is a
break down of our current water situation as of 8:00 am this
morning.
Lafayette's reservoir is at 24' and holding. This is 2' above
alarm for being below fire flow.
Wells #8 and #10 have only had 10
hours of rest in the last 288 hours.
Well #1 has been placed into the
rotation. This well produces less than 10 gpm.
Construction at Well #4 is not
complete so it is still not available.
The 1.5 million gallon reservoir in
Dayton is at 13.7' . This is well below fire flow capacity for
both cities. This means we have a little less than 375,000 gallons
available to us. I have
reduced our effluent rate from the water treatment plant in Dayton
to
about 65 gpm in an effort to gain in the reservoir.
From July lst to today, Lafayette has
received 1,318,100 gallon more than its 1.5 wells have produced.
In my opinion the lack of monitored
odd/even watering has attributed to this
situation. As always I am
monitoring our status and keeping in close contact with Steve
Sagmiller in Dayton. If you
have questions please contact me at 503.437.0401.
Respectfully Submitted,
James G. Anderson
Public Works Foreman
