! <br />! <br /> <br /> 5. Operation and Maintenance <br /> <br /> We reconunend that the City begin planning for installation of on-site power generators <br />for the east and west well field. If the water treatment facility is planned for construction within <br />the next 3-4 years, on-site generators could be delayed until that time. On-site generators would <br />not be needed for the east well field at that time. <br /> <br /> We also recommend that the City begin increasing the staffing allocation to the water <br />system. As noted, only approximately 0.65 FTE is allocated to the water system. Tiffs should be <br />brought up to a minimum of 3.0, with an optimum range of 4 to 5 FTE allocated to water system <br />work. <br /> <br /> In addition, we recommend that the City begin a program for encouraging water <br />conservation practices throughout the system. <br /> <br />C.
