Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust - Regular Meeting

Thank you. Good afternoon. It is 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I would like to start the 4-hour session of the Oklahoma City Water Utilities Trust. The next issue of the agenda is the implementation of the session on July 21. Is there any question or comment on the implementation in your packet? Is there any regret of giving the implementation permission? . . . . . . . . . . . Today, we have an Apatkal on item 5. This is item 1. This is Chisholm Creek wastewater treatment plant. An Apatkaline pipeline is about to break. Mr. Browning, can you tell us more about this? There are many pipelines that go from the last clarifier to the pesticide treatment plant. One of them was leaking and was coming up from the ground. That's why we kept someone at work to remove water and plug the line. Okay. Is there any question about the temporary suspension? Is there any proposal for approval? And this is passed. There is no item for personal thought today. Any item from the trustees? Anything? Mr. Browning, report. We are using 140 to 150 million gallons of water every day. As a result, the water level of the lakes is falling a little. Hefner is 4.3 feet below its full level. Trapper is 4 feet below. Canton has fallen about 8 inches below its full level. Atoka is 2.3 feet below and Maggie Creek is almost full. That's all I have, Mr. Adhiksh.

To be honest, looking at our weather, this situation is not bad at all. Not bad at all. Not bad at all. Okay.

Any questions for Mr. Brown? Okay, thank you. We have some citizens who have signed up to speak today. Ben Griffith is present here. Can you please keep your tip for three minutes, Mr. Griffith?

Namaste. Thank you for your time. Approximately four days ago, Minnesota was attacked by a water disaster. It was limited only to that state. After 24 hours, it spread to seven states. And then after 48 hours, this number has now increased by more than a dozen. Whatever its meaning, this is not a correct number. And I don't know if it's necessary that it's one of the Azinda drinks, but I wanted to pick it up. If you can't answer my questions at this time, then just put these questions in front of those people in the community who are responsible for answering them. The questions are quite simple. Is there any other memorable investigation of the quality of these attacks? Now they are probably using those algorithms to verify the quality of water, which have come under attack, are sensitive and are not providing reliable data, so you will have to verify it with different algorithms. Are they being tested anywhere? This is the first thing. And secondly, we don't need to say the name of any company. But is there any cyber security service provider for the entire water department? And when did you last contact me about this incident? Because if they are not working fast right now, and maybe they are not doing their work twice, then we are on the 13th number. And I think that's it. If you want, I will stay later if you want to talk to me.

Yes, we may not discuss our cyber security in a scientific setting.

Absolutely. Please don't come here.

I'm just... That's why we'll be happy to talk to you offline and maybe we'll be able to tell you what we can do that can answer all your questions and even not. But there is security in it. I think we can say that after a day, Mr. Browning immediately gave us the preliminary and important information and material which is related to your questions. OK.

I believe that these documents are available in all forms. That's what I was thinking. That's all I have. OK. Thank you. Tony Rupert. You're welcome.

My name is Tony Ruppert. I live in Edgewater Lake Point Produce. I have some simple questions regarding the sewage line. I want to say that I know Mr. Stronstieffer. We are both lawyers and we have already discussed. I have not come here to complain or demand. I just want to say that whatever the city is doing, I really like it. You are a part of the city, you have done a great job for our city. I am also a passionate rover boat driver and what you have done for the Watt House District is great. If I am a Sheikhi Baghar, then I am a national champion in my Ayurvedic rowing. I have won last week. Anyway, my question is about Drainage Racial Nikasi. What we have been told is that it will be 30 feet away from the houses. Okay, that's fine. One of those houses is mine. And he told us that it will be about 60 to 70 feet deep. I am not asking for any special favor on it. The thing we don't know because I don't understand how a backhoe digging machine will go down 60 or 70 feet. So I think there will be a staging area there and maybe something like this will happen to go down 70 feet. And we have no idea how much land is there. It will be used and we know that everything will be fixed again. And now the sewer line is needed. But we plant trees there and you know that this is a very beautiful area and we just want to know what we have to face so that I can tell the people of my neighborhood that it is going to be so difficult. This is only a matter of one year. It would be better for them not to know or not to understand. So this is a question. And if you want to answer me, I would be happy. But this is a very serious question in my neighborhood. We just don't know how big it will be. Because the distance from our house to Bluff Creek is probably 200 yards. That hill which is just south of Lake Road. And we just don't know how many trees will be removed. And we understand that trees will be removed. Secondly, there are two natural streams that flow to our neighbor Bluff Creek, where it flows towards the south of Hefner, towards the east of Hefner, and goes into the Simaron River. We really want them to remain natural and not turn into concrete drains or concrete pipes. And that's why we wanted to keep it in front of you because the river is going this way and two streams are going this way.

Can anyone respond to this?

So, I will respond. There is very little possibility that our sewer line is 60 feet deep. I just wanted to know if this is a storm sewer system. Storm sewer with storm sewer? Yes, sir.

Okay.

We only see the work of water and sanitary sewer. This is a sanitary sewer. Sewer means sanitary sewer. There is very little possibility that our sanitary sewer line is 60 feet deep. And we will not do any mischief with the Nalai Creek. That will be the public works water waste project. This project started from Portland and is in the south of Hefner. And in the south of Hefner, it passes through Greenbelt. And obviously, it is part of a large sewage waste project with NIF Tishnu.

Why don't we contact them, talk to the public works and then answer their questions.

I know what you are talking about. We are removing some lift stations and adding a gravity sewer line. It is about 30 feet deep. It is not 60 feet deep. This is very relaxing to hear.

Yes.

We had thought about the reconstruction of the lift station, but due to being close to the lake, it was not a good idea. We want to install something that is not mechanical and not bad. That lift station was installed years ago. Before the sievers were installed in that area, that's why the lift station was installed. But now, due to the new sievers, we have planned to remove that lift station and install a gravity siever line in that area. There is a series of three other lift stations there, which goes to Hefner Parkway and then to Northwest Expressway. So this is the plan. So this is the deepest point, approximately 30 feet deep. Its main part is approximately 20 feet deep. This is very useful information. Do you have any idea how wide the valley will be? Based on the facilities, we try to stay within the easement area until we get the construction easement, which we will repair later. They will have to dig 30 feet deep, but it won't be hundreds of feet wide. Tony, to make it clear, is your neighbor behind the Bluff Creek Trail? No.

I am in the south of Lake Hefner. Okay. So, it says here to be a street on Lake Hefner. There is some land in the south part.

So, you are in the south part of Lake Hefner? Yes. Okay. I would like to talk about the staging area.

How wide will it be so that I can calm people down.

Our engineering director is sitting right behind you. He will be happy to meet you and tell you everything about the project. I would like to thank you all for listening to me. Barbara, what is Rupert?

I am Kheran.

Yes. And maybe this will be the answer to all my questions.

Okay, very good. Thank you.

There are no other tasks in front of the trust. One more thing, Mr. President.

I would like to thank the team.

One more great job. I appreciate your hard work. Thank you.

Now sit down and finish.
