  • 10. FOCUS FORWARD  REDUCE NON REVENUE WATER  ASSET MANAGEMENT  RESILIANCE

Editor's Notes

  1. Drinking water system capacity of 862 mgd
  2. Hurricane Ike occurred in September 2008. Preparations included having tiered staffing assignments. Response included legislation requiring generators at all water production facilities. Drought of record stressed our water distribution and productions system. Beginning of focused asset management program. May 27, 2015 event produced nearly 11 inches of rain and caused flash flooding. Began building flood wall and raising electronics as facilities near bayous. April 18, 2016 almost 17 inches of rain caused additional flash flooding. Repairs from 2015 were not completed. May 28, 2016 looking for an ark!
  3. First you must know what is in your system and where it is at. Upload to the cloud and download to a flash drive. When receiving offers of assistance be as specific a possible about your needs. Take care of your people first and foremost. They will take care of your customers.. Recovery takes time and you can’t go back to business as usual. Your system may not be configured the same when it is all said and done.
