FILE NUMBER
Authorize payment to Process Solutions, Inc. to replace the chlorine - generating unit at Well # 28,

DISCUSSION
The Public Works Agency Water Resources Division is responsible for the daily operations of the
City's water system. The City's water production system is comprised of reservoirs, wells, pump
stations, pressure reducing stations and a network of underground pipes. There are 14 chlorine -
generating units throughout the water system to maintain an effective water treatment process.
On September 26, 2014 an electrolytic cell in the chlorine - generating unit at Well #28 shorted
and caused a fire destroying the unit.
In addition to the normal water demands of City residents, the Water Resources Division is
currently operating under a request to pump additional groundwater per a City agreement with
the Metropolitan Water District. The damaged chlorine - generating unit caused a 12 percent
reduction in water production resulting in the water system to be operating without a safety factor.
Any further water system failures could significantly affect the City's water production capabilities.
Replacing the chlorine - generating unit at Well #28 allows the City to meet residents' water
service demands and contract obligations.

Objective #1, establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets, Strategy
