Consent Decree Construction Update The General Manager’s Report will now include a brief summary of the status of the Consent Decree program. The main portion of Consent Decree activity that remains to be accomplished by the December 7, 2015 deadline is the work necessary to complete Article Six which includes sewer basin repair, replacement, rehabilitation Plans (SR3) and schedules. To succeed, six IDIQ contracts for public right-of-way (roads) and four additional contracts for the associated lateral work have been awarded. Six contracts for work in Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) have also been awarded with eleven more to be advertised in the first half of 2013. With the exception of the Parkway basin, all priority-one rehabilitation is in the design or construction phase. Design work is completed for the majority of assets in public rights-of-way while designs for ESAs, as well as for service laterals, is on-going. As briefed last month, we expect the public right-of-way and lateral work to conclude well before the December 2015 deadline, leaving the ESA work as the primary focus of our attention. With the exception of the Parkway Basin, all SR3 plans have been submitted to the EPA/MDE and Parkway should be submitted in March. We expect to complete all designs for priority-one assets (including Parkway Basin) by December 2013. As briefed last month, we continue to deal with several challenges, namely, the availability of external resources and the acquisition of temporary rights-of-entry. Permitting continues to pose challenges that we must work through on a daily basis; however, based on verbal commitments we expect to see a significant improvement in the approval of Federal Joint Permits for the remaining basins. Another major Consent Decree project and one that was not briefed last month is the Broad Creek Augmentation Project. This project provides for construction of modifications to the Broad Creek Waste Water Pumping Station (WWPS), a new force main/gravity sewer/pressure sewer from the Broad Creek WWPS to the Piscataway Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), and new storage and headwork improvements at the Piscataway WWTP. The design for this project has been substantially completed. The acquisition of permits and easements are ongoing. Ultimately, there will be four construction contracts associated with this project. The Piscataway WWTP Storage and Headworks Improvements contract should be advertised this month. Two other contracts (the Southern and Northern portions of a conveyance system) will require various state agency approvals, and the Broad Creek WWPS Architectural/ Electrical/ Mechanical Rehabilitation contract will require an access agreement with the National Park Service. University of Maryland Center for Health & Homeland Security Functional Exercise On December 17-19, 2012, the University of Maryland Center for Health & Homeland Security conducted a functional exercise that was intended to evaluate the emergency response capabilities of organizations throughout the National Capital Region for handling a severe winter storm. WSSC, Maryland Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), BGE, Pepco, Montgomery County, Prince George’s County, the National Guard, the National Weather Service, and the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services Systems (MIEMSS) were among the organizations that participated in this exercise. An after action report by the exercise coordinators and a subsequent after action meeting for all participating organizations is planned.

Retirement Eligibility The values in this chart are different from prior charts as a result of using more detailed employee information to calculate retirement eligibility under the three retirement options available. This detailed calculation will be used going forward. The 3 retirement options, both under full and early are: Pre-March 1994 Open Version, Regular Open Version, and the Closed Version. All 19 participants in the Closed Version are eligible for Early Retirement. All 608 participants in the Pre-March 1994 Open Version are eligible for Early Retirement. The remaining employees eligible for Early Retirement are in the Regular Open Version.

Accomplishments and Community Outreach

Patuxent Water Filtration Plant (WFP) Receives Director’s Award The Patuxent WFP received the Director’s Award from the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) Partnership for Safe Water program after successfully completing the Partnership’s Phase III Self Assessment. The Patuxent WFP is one of approximately 200 plants nationwide and one of only two plants in Maryland (WSSC’s Potomac WFP is the other plant) which holds this distinction. The Partnership for Safe Water is a unique cooperative among the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), AWWA, the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies (AMWA), the National Association of Water Companies (NAWC), and the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators (ASDWA). The partnership encourages and assists water suppliers in the United States to voluntarily enhance their water systems’ performance for greater control of Cryptosporidium, Giardia and other microbial contaminants. To receive the Phase III Directors Award, a utility must work through the arduous and difficult self-assessment process of identifying factors which may have been limiting performance of the treatment plant and taking steps to address those factors. WSSC Toys-for-Tots Drive The Patuxent WFP staff, led by Tom Rock and Debbie Armstead, spearheaded the Toys-for-Tots Drive for WSSC. The volume of toys collected this year doubled last year’s collection. Toys were dropped off in Prince George’s and Montgomery counties. WSSC’s Engineering Academy Fifteen middle and high school students spent some of their winter break taking part in WSSC’s Engineering Academy at the Anacostia Depot.

Budget Report

WSSC Annual Water Audit Summary for FY 2012

WSSC’s Annual Water Audit Summary for FY 2012 was submitted to MDE on December 12, 2012. This submittal was provided to MDE to satisfy Condition 16 of the Potomac Water Treatment Plant Appropriation Permit but the audit covers all water delivered to the Commission’s water distribution system. Lost or unmeasured water for the year of 17.42% was calculated utilizing methodologies suggested in AWWA’s Manual for Water Audits and Loss Control Programs and MDE’s Water Audit Guidelines. Since the percentage exceeds a permit-specified 10% threshold, the preparation of a Water Loss Reduction Plan is required under Condition 17 of the Water Treatment Appropriation Permit. This Plan to identify and reduce water loss, where feasible, will be submitted to MDE by July 1, 2013. Monthly Status Report – November 2012 See attached report.
