Interior cleaning is part of a healthy preventative maintenance <br />program, ensuring high water quality and reliable service to customers. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Each water tank contains large volumes of water and services a significant portion of the City. In order to <br />minimize water waste and system disruption, staff recommends hiring a certified diving company to clean <br />tank interiors. Diving companies are able to clean and make minor repairs to tank interiors without <br />draining the tank, saving millions of gallons of water and preventing service interruption. Additionally, <br />diving companies provide video footage of their dive, which assists staff in identifying any potential <br />structural problems that may need to be corrected before they become a serious issue. <br />6.E. - Page 1 of 23 <br />52
