DARA Over Capacity Discussion
Mr. Gill mentioned, due to the amount of wet weather we have been receiving our flows at the DARA treatment plant exceeded our current allocation by 33,564 gpd (week 37). As we discussed last meeting the department is looking at possibly installing portable flows meters in our sub-areas so we can isolate which area we have the highest rate of I&I, so we can target that area. In lieu of purchasing new portable flow meters, Mr. Dingman recommended we reach out to Towamencin Twp. to see if they have a few used ones they would like sell. Towamencin Twp. Said they can spare to sell 5 portable meters with 4 having 8” bands and 1 having a 10” band. I spoke with the company who calibrates our meters to see what they are worth used and he said that $1,500 each would be a fair price. Our metering company said that they will also monitor the meters for us and download them. After discussion Mr. Contento made a motion seconded by Mr. Chambers to authorize the staff to make the offer to Towamencin Twp.to purchase 5 portable flow meters at a total cost of $7,500 ($1,500 per meter) Vote passed 4-0. Furthermore Mr. Gill also mentioned that there is 1 more portable flow meter same price ($1,500) that they can purchase thru Meter Guy.  After discussion Mr. Chambers made a motion seconded by Mr. Disario to purchase additional portable flow meter of the same price ($1,500) Vote passed
