Our office received a Notice of Violation NOV-2019-DV-0069. On November 12, 2018 and November
15, 2018 the City experienced two SSO's at our Beason Creek PS. We had significant rainfall on both
days resulting in flooding in the area. The pump station was not able to keep up with the incoming flow
which resulted in SSO's on both days. The root cause was determined to be a mechanical issue with the
pumps which decreased the discharge amount of each. We have installed new impellers and wear plates
on both pumps which improved the pumping capacity. We are on phase three of our I&I study and
significant sources of infiltration have been located and repaired. Our flow study is ongoing and we will
continue to identify/repair I&I.
We would appreciate your consideration of these factors when reviewing these SSO's. Should you have
any questions please let me know.
