4) Old Village Remote D - 34th Street Water meter readings and pump running time meters indicate the pump station is operating at about 65- 70% of design capacity and the drainflelds are operating at 50% capacity. Presently one of the pumps at Remote D was drawing more amperage than it should and caused an alarm. Upon investigation it was determined that the pump should be replaced. It was replace under warranty. 5) Old Village Remote H - VFW Water meter readings indicate the pump station is operating at 92% of its design capacity and the seepage beds are operating at 50% of design capacity. 6) Tri-Lakes Remote A - Mike Severin Visual inspections of the mound system indicate no soft ground or surface seepage. 7) Trl-Lakes Remote B - Triple Mound Visual inspections of the mound system indicate no soft ground or surface seepage. 8) Tri-Lakes Remote C - Pat Scovil Visual inspections of this bed system indicate the bed is not used to capacity. 9) Tri-Lakes Remote D - Jane Road Visual inspections of the dralnfield indicate it is operating at 16% of its design capacity. During the year both the existing drainflelds were mobilized and then alternated to the new drainflelds. Visual observations of the drainflelds indicate they are operating below design capacity. A mechanical problem was discovered in the pump station shortly after the flow was switched to the new drainflelds. Because one of the new drainfields was at an elevation lower than the pump station, it was found that sewage was siphoning past the check valve and f I ow 1 ng to the drai of lel d without the pump running. This was discovered because of the low running time on the pump clocks. A small drain hole was drilled in the forcemain inside the station to act as a vacuum break and the system now functions as designed. -4- 8566
