DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division operates 21 water
wells and various water pumping stations that provide approximately 70
percent of the City's water supply. In an effort to better monitor the
disinfection process of the City's water system, the Agency is adding
Total Residual Chlorine Analyzers to monitor the chlorine levels at
major water pumping stations.
City staff currently test chlorine levels at pumping stations twice per
week as part of the water treatment process. Installation of chlorine
analyzers will provide continuous chlorine level readings, automatically
recorded for early detection of changes in water quality, allowing
operators to make immediate changes to the water disinfection process as
needed.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on April 2, 2008 and bids were
solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and bids received is as
