263 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT AND PROTECTION (continued) <br /> Water System Improvements <br /> Mr. Fales advised that there still remains a number of under- <br /> sized water lines, some being 4", whereas the standard now is <br /> 6" to 8". <br /> WASTE WATER COLLECTION <br /> Iowa <br /> Mr. Fales and Mr. Ference commented generally regarding the <br /> waste water treatment system, the ongoing maintenance of the <br /> system to where it meets the SBSA outfall ; that the cash con- <br /> tribution for the new plant is small this year because of what <br /> has already been contributed, approximately $4 million to date; <br /> that the amount shown in this budget is a one time amount, and <br /> that Redwood City owns 45% of the plant; that this will be the <br /> last year of making major payments for the plant which is ex- <br /> pected to be in operation by August of 1981, after which costs <br /> will be maintenance and operation; that a few years ago, adjust- <br /> ments <br /> were made in the sewer service charge so that it would <br /> be unnecessary to increase or decrease the charge from year to <br /> year. <br /> Waste Water' System Maintenance and Operations <br /> Mr. Fales reviewed the objectives and stressed the importance <br /> of smoke testing of the lines which helps in cutting down on <br /> treatment plant flow, since storm water is essentially clean. <br /> Sewer Lateral Maintenance <br /> [:: Mr. Fales noted that many of the older buildings in the City <br /> do not have sewer cleanouts, and the plan is to locate these <br /> so as to prevent a problem, rather than wait until it happens. <br /> Waste Water System Improvements <br /> WASTE WATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL <br /> Mr. Fales advised that when the new plant opens the existing <br /> City treatment plant will , in a relatively short time, wind <br /> down and cease operation, and that industrial plants are re- <br /> quired to pre-treat effluent on site, so the old plant will not <br /> be needed for pre-treatment. <br /> STORM WATER DISPOSAL <br /> Mr. Fales referred to the severe flooding experienced by <br /> Redwood City until in the 1960's when the people of Redwood <br /> City approved the bond issues to correct the problem. <br /> Waterway Maintenance and Operation <br /> PUBLIC SAFETY (pp. 51-60) <br /> lir LAW ENFORCEMENT <br /> Administering Law Enforcement <br /> Reference was made by Council to Objective No. 1 and whether <br /> anything can be done to hurry the placement process.
