revisions to the statewide WDR. The majority of agencies have concerns that the proposed
revisions are overreaching.
• EDUCATION/OUTREACH PROGRAM
A new flyer on Proper Disposal of Food was presented as educational material. The flyer was
prepared by EEC and edited by District staff.
GAS COMPANY SEWER LATERAL CCTV PROJECT
Mr. Carroll reported the Gas Company approached the District regarding a program to identify
where gas lines have been bored through sewer laterals. The Gas Company has researched
past construction projects throughout Orange County and developed a program to CCTV an
agency's sewer mains while also sending a smaller piggyback camera up the sewer lateral until
reaching the street right of way. Gas lines bored through sewer laterals, termed "crossbores",
are a potential dangerous condition. The Gas Company will provide the District with copies of all
sewer main and sewer lateral videos. The hold harmless agreement with the Gas Company has
been executed and work will begin in approximately two weeks.

ARTICLES OF INTEREST
An article on New York City Sewer Telemetry was presented. Mr. Hamers noted New York City
has a mostly combined sewer systems, where sanitary wastewater and storm water share the
same pipes. Large rains cause overflows in the system and the telemetry will notify residents
and business when they should reduce water use.
SMART COVER
Mr. Hamers provided a brochure on Smartcover, a monitoring and alarm system, and Staff is
evaluating the system for use at some of the pumping stations. Mr. Hamers stated the District's
telemetry system is not failsafe and occasionally there is a high water condition without an alarm.
A reevaluation of the SCADA system is in progress to determine its reliability. This sensor does
not communicate with the SCADA system but directly to staff. Staff will come back to the Board
with a recommendation after further evaluation.
