Other News

- Major emergency occurred on February 1,

2019 when Raw Intake was plugged due to

frazzle ice and likely accumulation of zebra

mussels. This is the 1st such occurrence of

blocked on the "new" intake that was installed

in 2001 to eliminate this issue that affected the

previous intake. Moving back to an annual

inspection and cleaning program will provide the

needed preventative maintenance to avoid

repeating this event. The entire team did a

phenomenal job to respond and control this

event. At no time was the water quality

jeopardized and service to the residents of the

Town of Ontario was never interrupted. It is a

testament to the professionalism, knowledge,

and determination of the Water Utilities Team.

- In-house services installed the remaining piping

for the Fluoride Room Improvements, which

includes a new emergency eyewash and shower

unit to provide a safer environment in case of

chemical spill emergencies.

- Cross-training has commenced for employees

to perform 3 month training shifts at the WWTP.

Randy Balliet is the first to begin this rotation

and his new ideas and knowledge have already

paid off with a new level sensor installation on

the Waste Solids Holding Tank, which provides

better control and operation of the waste

process.

- The Water Utilities Team has converted the WWTP Control

Building, WTP Lab, and Pole Barn Break Room to LED lighting

fixtures to help minimize our energy usage. The capabilities of

these employees has saved the Town thousands of dollars.

Past proposals using outside contractors estimated this to

cost $43,750. Using in-house services, it will cost us

approximately $15,000 excluding rebates and incentives.

More savings will seen when these incentives are obtained.

The Town is fortunate to have such capable employees.

January 2019 Watershed Monthly Report

Status Updates

• The Watershed issues in this Town have reached unprecedented levels due to extreme weather

events, abnormal groundwater recharge levels with Lake Ontario, and the large number of

backlogged projects for the past few years.

Planning

• Paperwork preparation for regulatory permits for projects and blanket coverage is commencing.

• Increased budget will

assist with completing

more projects.

Continued need for

dedicated staff to

complete the identified

projects in 2019.

Planning will continue

in the coming months to

identify plan of action.

Drainage continues to be a difficult challenge with limited resources and focus. I kindly ask for

patience and cooperation as we attempt to overcome these obstacles and correct the course of the

Watershed activities in the Town.

I. INTRODUCTION

The following report is provided to the Town of Ontario Water Utilities Department and

evaluates the staffing requirements for the three divisions: Wastewater Treatment Plant

including Composting, Water Treatment Plant, and Outside Crew (Water Distribution and

Sewer Collections and Pump Stations). This evaluation was completed with the guidance

procedures described in Estimating Staffing for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities,

Contract No. 68-01-0328, prepared by the United States Environmental Protection Agency-

Office of Water Program Operations, March 1973, the Northeast Guide for Estimating

Staffing at Publicly and Privately Owned Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants,

prepared by the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission in 2008, and

the professional judgment and experience of the Water Utilities Department Staff, which

has more than 140 years of combined water and wastewater treatment experience.

Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Town of Ontario Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 1.0 million gallons per day (MGD)

rated plant which was constructed in 1975 to serve the Town of Ontario and potential

future outlying areas. The plant, located at 2200 Lake Road in the Town of Ontario, Wayne

County, New York receives predominantly residential wastewater. The treatment process

used by this plant is modified activated sludge using the extended aeration process. Prior

to primary biological treatment in the aeration basins, preliminary screening and grit

removal takes place in the Entrance Structure. Secondary treatment is provided by final

Draft


Page 2

clarifiers located after the aeration basins and followed by tertiary filtration, ultraviolet

disinfection and chemical treatment. The facility rating, as reported by the New York

Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC), of this plant is Level 4A, which is the

highest ranking a wastewater treatment facility can receive. Treated effluent from this

facility is discharged into Bear Creek, a tributary of Lake Ontario. The sludge generated

through the treatment process is dewatered by a belt filter press. Following dewatering,

the sludge is transported to an onsite compost facility. The compost facility converts the

unstable sludge into usable compost, which is then made available to Town residents.

Water Treatment Plant

The Town of Ontario Water Treatment Plant, located at 1961 Lake Road, is a 3.5 MGD rated

facility serving the Town of Ontario and portions of the Wayne County Water and Sewer

Authority (WCWSA) and the Monroe County Water Authority (MCWA) service areas.

Raw water is pumped from Lake Ontario via a pump station, which receives water from a

new 24-inch intake pipe. As raw water from the intake pumps enters the treatment facility,

flow is split between a flash mixer (serving the north side of the plant) and the micro-floc

units (on the south side of the plant). The north side of the plant was constructed in 1979

with a rated capacity of 2.0 MGD, while the micro-floc system (south side) was installed in

1996 with a rated capacity of 1.5 MGD. On the north side of the plant, water from the flash

mixer enters the up-flow clarifier for sedimentation removal. After solids are settled out,

flow exiting this clarifier is then split into four (4) gravity filters. The gravity filters are dual

media consisting of sand on the bottom and granular activated carbon on the top, providing

Draft


Page 3

filtration and taste and odor control. After going through the gravity feed filters, the water

empties into the clear well where it combines with the water from the south side of the

plant. On the south side of the plant, after coagulants are added, the water travels into the

micro-floc unit up flow clarifier. Water then proceeds to the filter compartment, which is

comprised of three different media’s: high-density garnet sand on the bottom, followed by

a layer of silica filter sand in the middle and then a layer of granular activated carbon on the

top. The water is drawn through the filter media and then into the clear well where it

combines with the water from the north side of the plant. At the discharge side of the low-

lift clear well pumps, the water travels through an ultraviolet disinfection system and is then

injected with chlorine all as part of a multi-barrier disinfection system. This water is then

conveyed onward to the on-site one million gallon (MG) water storage tank for the required

chlorine contact time. Following this contact time water then travels back into the plant

where fluoride is injected and then pumped through the high lift pumps into the

distribution system.

Outside Crew – Water Distribution and Sewer Collection Systems

The water distribution system in the Town consists of approximately 80 miles of pipe

ranging in size between 2 and 24 inches in diameter. Pipe material is comprised of asbestos

cement, cast iron, polyvinyl chloride, high-density polyethylene and ductile iron. There is

also a 250,000-gallon storage tank and booster pump station located along Ridge Road,

which supplies water to “High Pressure Zone” and to the Town of Walworth via large-

diameter transmission main.

The sewer collection system consists of approximately 40 miles of pipe ranging in size

Draft


Page 4

between 8 and 16 inches in diameter. Pipe material is comprised of asbestos cement,

polyvinyl chloride, and high-density polyethylene. There are also 13 pump stations located

throughout the Town, which require constant inspection, maintenance, and rehabilitation.

Draft

II. STAFFING ANALYSIS

The Town of Ontario Water Utilities Department currently maintains an atypical staffing

arrangement when compared with other municipalities. The staff of the Water Utilities

Department is cross-trained to perform duties on both the water and wastewater

activities of the department. The purpose of this report is the evaluation of the Water

Utilities Department.

The treatment plant operation positions currently conduct all Operations, Maintenance,

and Laboratory responsibilities at the treatment plants. All Clerical and Administration

responsibilities are executed by staff at the Administration Building. Traditionally, the

Outside Crew performs water and sewer service installation connections to the respective

mains; utility stakeouts; repairing leaks in the distribution and collection systems; hydrant

flushing and valve exercising; and sewer televising; and operation and maintenance of the

pump stations. Property and facility maintenance responsibilities (i.e. mowing, painting,

refuse collection, landscaping, etc.) are all completed by another staff member from

within the Water Utilities Department, not part of the Water Utilities Collective

Bargaining Unit. The cross-training between disciplines has allowed the Water Utilities

Department to maintain a lean staff of highly trained personnel for many years.

As stated above, this evaluation was completed with the USEPA Estimating Staffing for

Municipal Wastewater Treatment Facilities and the staffing application program created

by the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission, as well as

experienced and professional judgment of staff and the Water Utilities Superintendent.

The analysis of the responsibilities for the various segments are shown in the Staffing

Estimate Worksheets found in Appendix A. These segments are adjusted for local

conditions that are unique to the Town Ontario. For example, there is a 10% increase in

Maintenance efforts due to the existence of severe winters at the plant.

Water Treatment Plant

The Water Treatment Plant is appropriately staffed at this time, with 3 employees. It is

operated 24 hours per day, 5 days per week using three 8-hour shifts. The weekends are

covered on a voluntary, rotational basis by staff within the Water Utilities Department.

Since this facility also operates as a certified microbiological laboratory and performs

analyses for outside entities, there are instances where an extra employee may be

necessary for a short duration at the Water Treatment Plant and/or microbiological

laboratory. This is accomplished by temporarily shifting another employee from another

division. The analysis results are as follows:

Wastewater Treatment Plant

The Wastewater Treatment Plant is also appropriately staffed at this time, with 3-4

employees, depending on the status of the composting operations. It is operated 10 hours

per day, 5 days per week using staggered 8-hour shifts. The weekends are covered on a

voluntary, rotational basis by staff within the Water Utilities Department during

emergencies (i.e. high flows, power outages, etc.), as necessary. This facility also operates

as a certified wet chemistry laboratory, but only provides testing for in-house operations,

so no additional staffing resources are necessary. During composting operations, staffing

needs do increase during composting. The analysis results are as follows:

Outside Crew

As stated earlier, the Outside Crew has been tasked with water and sewer service

installation connections to the respective mains; utility stakeouts; repairing leaks in the

distribution and collection systems; hydrant flushing and valve exercising; and sewer

televising; and operation and maintenance of the pump stations. However, they have not

adequately performed constant Operation and Maintenance activities of the water

distribution and collection systems in many, many years. This is evident by investigating

the Job Order History Worksheets and the current condition of these systems. Therefore,

a shift in the mission of this division is beginning in January 2019. There will be more

emphasis on Operation and Maintenance of the sewer collection and water distribution

systems and less time spent by the crew on water and sewer installations. The analysis

confirms the need for another employee in the Outside Crew.

Draft

III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This evaluation was conducted to determine the staffing needs for the Town of Ontario

Water Utilities Department. One additional worker is needed to properly staff the three

divisions at this time. The current staff has done an exceptional job of executing their

duties, but these additional workers are recommended to replace personnel that have

retired in the past 10 years. Rodney Peets left the labor force in 2008 to assume the role

of Water Utilities Superintendent and Stephen Johnville retired in 2018. Neither of these

FTE staff positions were ever replaced. Additionally, there are two employees planning to

retire in 2019 with three more employees eligible for retirement within the next five

years. Succession planning is of the utmost importance for this Department. We have an

immediate need for hiring a new employee. There is also a need to hire at least one more

employee, possibly two, by summer of 2018 due to two upcoming retirements planned

for September 2018.

I. BACKGROUND

The Town of Ontario Water Treatment Plant, located at 1961 Lake Road, is a 3.5 MGD

rated facility serving the Town of Ontario and portions of the Wayne County Water and

Sewer Authority (WCWSA) and the Monroe County Water Authority (MCWA) service

areas.

Raw water is pumped from Lake Ontario via a pump station, which receives water from a

new 24-inch intake pipe. As raw water from the intake pumps enters the treatment facility,

flow is split between a flash mixer (serving the North Side of the plant) and the micro-floc

units (on the South Side of the plant). The North Side of the plant was constructed in 1979

with a rated capacity of 2.0 MGD, while the micro-floc system (South Side) was installed

in 1996 with a rated capacity of 1.5 MGD. On the North Side of the plant, water from the

flash mixer enters the up-flow clarifier for sedimentation removal. After solids are settled

out, flow exiting this clarifier is then split into four (4) gravity filters. The gravity filters

are dual media consisting of sand on the bottom and granular activated carbon on the top,

providing filtration and taste and odor control. After going through the gravity feed filters,

the water empties into the clear well where it combines with the water from the South Side

of the plant. On the South Side of the plant, after coagulants are added, the water travels

Draft




into the micro-floc unit up flow clarifier. Water then proceeds to the filter compartment,

which is comprised of three different media’s: high-density garnet sand on the bottom,

followed by a layer of silica filter sand in the middle and then a layer of granular activated

carbon on the top. The water is drawn through the filter media and then into the clear well

where it combines with the water from the North Side of the plant. At the discharge side of

the low-lift clear well pumps, the water travels through an ultraviolet disinfection system

and is then injected with chlorine all as part of a multi-barrier disinfection system. This

water is then conveyed onward to the on-site one million gallon (MG) water storage tank

for the required chlorine contact time. Following this contact time water then travels back

into the plant where fluoride is injected and then pumped through the high lift pumps into

the distribution system.

Information provided in this report is based on site investigations and meetings with plant

personnel and is intended to target areas of the WTP that may require repair and or

upgrades during the next five years. In addition to the site investigations and meetings with

plant personal the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) conducted a

Comprehensive Performance Evaluation (CPE) of the water treatment plant in June 2002.

The CPE identified process and physical components of the treatment plant that could be

improved to optimize treatment. Many of the suggestions in the CPE were completed in the

2003 Five Year Plan Study and have helped to enhance the performance of the plant.

Several of the remaining suggestions were then listed in a subsequent Five Year Plan

Draft




authored in 2008 to help to continue the operational functionality of the plant, but none of

those recommended improvements have been completed since that time. Each of the

treatment units within the plant will be discussed and recommendations will be provided to

rehabilitate or upgrade the units if warranted. Following the recommendations, the

proposed improvements will be summarized and prioritized over a five year time frame.

As stated earlier, this report follows a similar five-year plan, which was completed in 2008

for the water plant. However, most of the items identified in the 2008 report were deferred

and never completed and must be completed in the near future. Due to the deferral of these

improvements, the condition of the unit operations have deteriorated even more and the

residual lives of the assets decreased.

II. TREATMENT UNIT ANALYSIS

A. RAW WATER INTAKE

A new raw water intake was installed in 2001 in order to address frazil ice/freeze up

problems as well as high turbidity swings and taste/odor issues. An additional benefit

derived from this project was an increase in capacity of the intake system from 3 million

gallons per day to 5 million gallons per day. The existing 16 inch intake pipe installed in

1953 extended 1200 feet from the intake wet well to a depth of 13 to 17 feet below the

lake surface. The relatively shallow depth of the intake increased its tendency to

Draft




accumulate algae and frazil ice, which reduced flow capacity and produced inconsistent

raw water quality. The 2001 improvement project included a new 24 inch intake pipe

and new intake screens extending 4,200 feet from the lake shore to a depth of

approximately 50’. Raw water that enters the intake screens can be pretreated with

potassium permanganate and/or chlorine gas for zebra mussel control. Since the pipe is

in good to fair condition and no signs of degradation, no repairs are necessary at this

time, however a bi-annual inspection of this pipe, the pipe anchors and intake screens is

recommended. Past inspection records have not been found, so it is unknown when the

last inspection was completed. For convenience, it is planned to complete the next

inspection in 2020 to return to a regular schedule and complete inspections on even-

numbered years.

B. RAW WATER PUMP STATION

In addition to the new intake pipe installed in 2001, the Town simultaneously replaced

the raw water intake pumps, flow meters, valving, and controls as well a new building to

house the pumps. Each of the new pumps have a capacity of 2,700 gallons per minute

(3.89 mgd). The water treatment plant has a rated capacity of 2,431 gallons per minute

(3.5 mgd) leaving an excess of 269 gallons per minute (0.39 mgd) for future plant

upgrades. There are also provisions for a future, third pump to be installed if additional

capacity is needed. The South Pump was rebuilt in 2016 and the North VFD was

Draft




replaced, the North Pump should be rebuilt either this year or next. This pump

rebuild is included in the 2019 Budget and is not included in this Capital Improvement

Plan. The South VFD was replaced after it failed due to a power surge during a power

loss event in 2018 following a motor vehicle accident.

A standby generator sits adjacent to this building to provide auxiliary power for the raw

water pumps. This generator is reportedly in good condition and is serviced regularly;

however due to its age it should be replaced in the next 5-7 years. An underground fuel

tank serving this facility was cleaned out, filled and abandoned in 2001 and replaced with

a new above-ground self-contained 300 gallon diesel fuel tank.

C. FLASH MIXING UNIT (NORTH PLANT)

The flash mixing unit was installed in conjunction with the North Side up flow clarifier

and gravity filtration units in 1979. This unit receives raw water from the intake where it

is mixed with coagulants and then conveyed to the North Side up flow clarifier. The CPE

recommended relocating the coagulant feed to the opening of the inlet pipe at the bottom

of the tank to promote more efficient mixing. Since the CPE was submitted to Town, the

plant operator has completed this recommendation. The flash mixer itself and the VFD

should be replaced within the next 5-7 years.

Draft




D. NORTH CLARIFIER (NORTH PLANT)

The North Clarifier and all associated equipment are original to the 1979 installation.

Due to the age of this unit, we would recommend that the entire unit be rehabilitated.

Graver, the original manufacturer offers equipment retrofits. These retrofits include a

direct shaft drive unit, high efficiency sludge recirculator and floc barrier retrofits. At

this time, it is recommended that the clarifier should be rehabilitated rather than

replacement. This rehabilitation is listed to be completed in 2020, or earlier if possible.

E. GRAVER FILTERS (NORTH PLANT)

The Graver filters are also original to the 1979 installation. As also noted in the CPE, the

age of this unit warrants rehabilitation, which would include, new internal equipment,

new media, new underdrains and new controls. New underdrains and media where put in

the winter of 2017. New sample lines for the turbidimeters where also installed. A

Business Case Analysis to determine if the filters should be rehabilitated with upgraded

controls integrated with the SCADA system or full replacement is scheduled for 2020

with a capital project of the selected option to be performed in 2021. It is also

recommended that the turbidimeters all be replaced to current models. Currently, two of

the five turbidimeters on the North Plant have been replaced. The remaining three

meters will be replaced this year out of the operating funds budget and are not

Draft




included in this Capital Improvement Plan.

F. TRIDENT FILTERS (SOUTH PLANT)

The Trident filters were installed during the 1996 improvement project. Recent upgrades

to these filters included media replacement and tank recoating in 2006. At the time of

media replacement and tank recoating, the tank underdrains were also replaced since they

were easily accessible at this point. New turbidimeters were also installed as part of the

replacement project in 2006. The media was replaced in 2015. The next time the media

needs to be replaced, anticipated in 2024, the filter tanks should be recoated and

underdrains replaced. Lastly, all the turbidimeters should be replaced. There is a total of

four turbidimeters in the South Plant. Three are older units that require

replacement. This will be done in the next year using operating fund budgets and is

not included in this Capital Replacement Plan.

G. LOW LIFT PUMPS

The low lift pumps were installed in the 1979 improvement project and have been

regularly maintained as recommended by the manufacturer. The pump #1 (west) motor

was replaced in 2001 and pump # 2 (east) motor was replaced in 2004. In addition, the

existing motor inverters were replaced with new variable frequency drives in the winter

Draft




of 2002. Both pumps are due to be rebuilt and the VFD for Pump #1 are due to be

replaced in the next 5 years, pump rebuild anticipated for 2023 and VFD replacement in

2019, based on current performance and condition. The VFD for Pump #2 was replaced

after it failed due to a power surge during a power loss event in 2018 following a motor

vehicle accident. Additionally, a flow meter is recommended for the discharge of these

pumps.

H. UV SYSTEM

The UV system was installed in 1999. The system is obsolete, inefficient compared to

the current systems available, and parts are difficult to obtain. It should be upgraded

within the next 3-5 years.

I. CLEARWELL

The clear well was constructed in 1979 and has received no repair since. We recommend

the clear well be inspected and checked for cracks or spalls on the concrete surface.

After the inspection and any necessary repairs are made, the clear well should be

recoated. Temporary piping, pumping and storage may be required to bypass the clear

well during the inspection, repairs and recoating procedures.

Draft




J. ONSITE 1.0 MG STORAGE TANK

The onsite storage reservoir is a one million gallon capacity welded steel tank,

constructed during the 1979 improvement project. The main purpose of this tank is to

provide chlorine contact time and storage for the distribution system as well as to supply

head pressure necessary during filter backwashes. In 1997 the tank interior and exterior

was inspected and it was determined that the tank required rehabilitation. The interior and

exterior of the tank was recoated in 2004. Additional work included the replacement of

the vent screens. According to discussions with plant operations staff, the storage

volume of this tank is sufficient at this point in time. Therefore, we do not recommend

any improvements or upgrades to this structure at this time.

K. HIGH LIFT PUMPS

The high lift pumps were installed during the 1979 improvement project. These pumps

convey water from the on-site 1.0 MG storage tank to the distribution system as well as

the Ridge Road 0.25 MG elevated storage tank. Recent upgrades to the pumps included

the installation of new high efficiency motors and new variable frequency drives. The

VFD’s where replaced in 2008 along with surge buster valves, the VFD’s should be

looked into within the next five years. Both pumps are due to be rebuilt and possibly

looked into replaced of the pumps. Looking into the upgrading those to larger pumps.

Draft




L. CHEMICAL FEED EQUIPMENT

The chemical feed equipment installed in 1979 within the treatment plant consists of pre

and post chlorination, coagulant addition and fluoridation. In 2002, the Town conducted

an onsite chlorine gas generation pilot study in an effort to evaluate the replacement of

the current method of chlorination, which consists of bulk chlorine gas stored on-site in

150 pound cylinders. The pilot study was primarily initiated by the health and safety

concerns that are associated with using bulk chlorine gas. The pilot study took place for

approximately one year and was terminated due to the inability to maintain consistent

chlorine residuals. The Town has since then reverted back to the bulk chlorine gas

method of chlorination. The chlorine piping, chlorine injector system and chlorine

analyzers throughout the plant were replaced in 2005. However, another effort to

determine the feasibility to switch from chlorine gas to liquid hypochlorite is

recommended in the next 3-4 years. The fluoride system was upgraded in 2018 using

Town forces and a NYSDOH Grant.

M. CONTROL ROOM/LABORATORY

The control room/laboratory houses the plant SCADA system, high lift pump invertors,

low lift pump variable frequency drives, security camera monitor, and electrical panels.

The lab should be separated from the kitchenette/office area in the control room.

Draft




Enclosing the high lift VFD’s was performed by in-house staff in 2019 and reduced the

ambient noise levels by approximately 35 decibels, to a safer level for this area.

N. EMERGENCY GENERATOR

The emergency generator was installed in the 1979 project and has been regularly

maintained as required. The manufacturer’s representative has completed an annual

inspection of the unit

And concluded that the generator is in good condition, however a replacement generator

should be looked into in the next 6-8 years since parts are getting rare.

O. SECURITY ISSUES

Security issues as related to the water treatment plant and water system were evaluated as

part of the vulnerability assessment program that was initiated in 2002 as required by the

NYSDOH. The Vulnerability Assessment is conducted periodically and updated

accordingly. Some of the security improvements that were recommended in the

assessment included additional fencing or protective barriers, security cameras and an

operation and maintenance manual for security measure procedures. The Town has

installed security cameras with a centrally-located monitor that is mounted in the control

room/laboratory. The cameras monitor the front door to the plant as well the other

Draft




ingress/egress points around the plant that are out of sight to plant personnel. There are

future plans to install more cameras at the booster pump station. The camera upgrades

must also accommodate cloud-based or network-connected interfacing so they can be

viewed at the Administration Building in addition to the Treatment Plant. With respect to

additional fencing, it was found that additional fencing was not practical, although the

Town is considering installing barriers at the raw water pump station, water treatment

plant, 1.0 million gallon onsite storage tank, booster pump station and 0.25 million gallon

storage tank.

P. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The distribution system in the Town consists of approximately 80 miles of pipe ranging

in size between 2 and 24 inches in diameter. Pipe material is comprised of asbestos

cement, cast iron, polyvinyl chloride, high-density polyethylene and ductile iron. The

Town Water Utility Department is to be commended for the amount of water that is

unaccounted for versus the amount of water produced. The Town’s distribution system

also includes a booster pump station, which supplies water to the Town’s high pressure

service area as well as the Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority (WCWSA) system.

This booster pump station currently has three different pumps with capacities of 500,

1000, 1350 gallons per minute (gpm). The 500 gpm and 1000 gpm pumps were recently

replaced; however, the 1350 gpm pump is original. Improvements to be considered for

Draft




this pump station include the capacity increase of the 1350 gallon per minute rate

pump to 1700 gallons per minute. In addition, the booster pump station should be

equipped with onsite power generation to address incidents of power outages.

Q. RIDGE ROAD STORAGE TANK

The Ridge Road Storage tank is a multi-legged tank with a capacity of 0.25 million

gallons. The storage tank provides additional pressure for the Town (primarily south of

Ridge Road) as well as additional storage for water sold to the WCWSA. This tank was

inspected in 1997 and it was determined that the tank required rehabilitation. A condition

assessment was performed again in 2009, which showed the tank in even more disrepair.

This tank must be rehabilitated immediately to avoid any adverse impacts to public

health and water quality.

R. LAGOONS

The north and south lagoons were built in 1979 to store wastewater generated from

clarifier flushing and filter backwashing. Following settling, the supernatant from these

lagoons is periodically decanted off the top and discharged to Lake Ontario through a

NYSDEC SPDES Permit #0161977. One of the lagoons is full to capacity with

approximately 1,000,000 gallons of dried sludge, and therefore is no longer serviceable

Draft




for detaining filter backwash water. Ideally, both lagoons should operate in tandem in

order to provide the maximum time for sludge to settle out in one lagoon, while

backwash is received in the other lagoon (and vise-versa). The North Lagoon was

cleaned and fixed in 2007 it needs to be cleaned out again. The South Lagoon needs to be

cleaned out and repaired. The 2 valves for the lagoons should be replaced; also the waste

water station should have the other pump replaced along with the soft start. At this time it

is recommended that a flow meter on each pipe be installed that ties back to the SCADA.

S. SCADA SYSTEM

A new SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system was installed at the

water treatment plant in 2008. The system alleviated many of the current manual

adjustments required at the plant and centralized and automated the monitoring of the

plant at a dedicated computer station through the use of PLC (programmable logic

control). In addition, the system has the capability to provide control, monitoring,

alarming and the ability to change set points within the system through a customized

computer program unique to the needs of the facility and its operators.

T. ENERGY MANAGEMENT/ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

As the price of fuel and energy continues to rise, municipal water treatment facilities

Draft




will be taxed with even more responsibilities to minimize their energy usage and

increase the efficiency of their operations. New York is fortunate to have the New

York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSDERA) to aid with the

development of future technologies for efficient and responsible energy production

and consumption. NYSERDA currently has multiple avenues to aid municipal entities

with energy management matters. These items include: benchmarking programs to

determine the energy consumption baseline of the plants, sub metering to determine

the energy usage of the different operations at the WTP by installing a meter at each of

them; and an energy management assessment.1 We recommend conversations with

NYSERDA to identify potential funding opportunities. In the event that funding

opportunities are available, we recommend the preparation of the necessary studies

and assessments to implement more energy efficient methods at the WTP. These

measures were also recommended for the WWTP in the 5 Year Plan for that facility,

which would result in a system-wide energy audit for two of the largest energy users in

the Town.

In an effort to minimize energy costs, additional research and studies are

recommended to identify plausible alternative energy sources. The list of such

technologies currently available to the Ontario WTP includes: wind turbines for

1 http://www.nyserda.org/programs/Environment/muniwaterwwt.asp Accessed April 26, 2008.

http://www.nyserda.org/programs/Environment/muniwaterwwt.asp

Draft




electricity production as the facility sits on a prime location along Lake Ontario, the

use of Lake Ontario for geothermal heating and cooling purposes, and the use of

microturbines in select areas of the distribution system (i.e. Ridge Road Tank

discharge line). It is recommended that a pilot study be conducted to determine the

feasibility of the respective proposed technology at the Ontario WTP.

U. HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS

In an effort to more accurately determine the different flow regimes and capacities

found within the 85 miles of water main that is placed within the town, we recommend

an update to the water distribution model that was created several years ago. To

accomplish this task, the current model will be revised and calibrated using current

hydrant test flow data. This model can then be used to determine capacities for future

residential developments; to identify problematic areas of low flow or pressure; and to

document the interconnections and possible capacities that could be provided to

neighboring systems (i.e. Wayne County Water and Sewer Authority). Another goal

of this model would be future integration into the GIS system. Flow and maintenance

data could be connected directly to the GPS data point for each respective hydrant,

valve, or curb stop. Costs associated with the actions listed above are not included in

this study as it is unclear of the current status of the water distribution model as several

new residential subdivisions have appeared within the town and the flow and

Draft




maintenance data was not available for importation into the GIS database.

V. REPLACEMENT OF EXISTING MAINS

The overall condition of the water distribution system is in good condition. However,

there are several areas of aging water mains that need replacement to increase the

hydraulic efficiency of the water distribution system. The oldest watermain

sections, which have showed significant signs of tuberculation and lower

hydraulic efficiency in the Town are located on Stevens Street and Union Hill,

with Union Hill being the highest priority. When looking at Union hill public

sewers for that area will also be investigated and the Union Hill Exclusion Zone

will need to be dissolved in the Sewer Master Plan from 1966. A recommended

improvement along Route 104 consists of a check valve installed near the Mill

Creek Pump Station to increase and maintain adequate flows to the businesses

located in the Beh Industrial Park.

W. NEW WATER MAINS

The newest installation of water main was located along the newest portion of

Timothy Lane near Dean Parkway. This new water main was 12” diameter PVC and

created a loop between the water main located on Dean Parkway and the main on

Route 104. This main goal of this new pipeline is to provide more suitable fire flows

Draft




to the businesses in the Beh Industrial Park and to entice economic development in the

Timothy Lane industrial corridor. Recommended that Timothy Lane be looped to

the 12-inch watermain on Lakeside Road to provide more a redundant, more

reliable water supply and increased pressures and flows to the Beh Industrial

Park. These improvements are warranted in the near future (i.e. next 1-2 years)

to ensure we can accommodate economic growth in the Industrial Zone.

IV. CONCLUSION

In general, the water treatment plant and distribution system are in fair condition. Through

plant upgrades and regular maintenance of equipment the plant has been nearly trouble

free. While the plant is in working condition it is necessary to make improvements to the

overall treatment process as technology improves and equipment reaches its service life.

More stringent regulatory measures will also impact future upgrades and changes to the

plant and water system network.

WWTP-5ypl update 2018

I. BACKGROUND

The Town of Ontario Wastewater Facility is 1.0 million gallons per day (MGD) rated plant

which was constructed in 1975 to serve the Town of Ontario and potential future outlying

areas. The plant, located at 2200 Lake Road in the Town of Ontario, Wayne County, New

York receives predominantly residential wastewater. The treatment process used by this

plant is modified activated sludge using the extended aeration process along with tertiary

filtration, ultraviolet disinfection and chemical treatment. Treated effluent from this

facility is discharged into Bear Creek, a tributary of Lake Ontario. The sludge generated

through the treatment process is dewatered by a belt filter press. Following dewatering, the

sludge is transported to an onsite compost facility. The compost facility converts the

unstable sludge into usable compost, which is then made available to Town residents.

Information provided in this report is based on site investigations and meetings with plant

personnel and is intended to target areas of the WWTP that may require repair and/or

upgrades during the next five years. Each of the treatment units within the plant will be

discussed and recommendations will be provided to rehabilitate or upgrade the units if

warranted. Following the recommendations, the proposed improvements will be

summarized and prioritized over a five year time frame.

This report follows up similar five-year plan reports which were completed in 2003 and

2008 for the wastewater plant. However, none of these improvements have been

Draft




completed since that time, which is quite evident by the current condition of the WWTP

and the amount of emergency, corrective maintenance that must be performed by the

operations staff.

II. TREATMENT UNIT ANALYSIS

A. MAIN PUMP STATION

The main pump station consists of two (2) 3500 gallon per minute (GPM) pumps with

100 horsepower motors. Each pump is controlled by a flow matcher “load cell”,

which is used to match the pumps speed to the inflow of sewage. In 1999, the Ontario

Pump Station Improvement Project was started with a scope that included upgrades to

the Main Pump Station (Bear Creek Pump Station). These upgrades included the

installation of a new 500 gpm – 15 horsepower (hp) pump controlled by a variable

frequency drive to handle periods of lower flow rates as well as address solids

accumulation in the corners of the wet well. According to plant personnel, this “low

flow” pump does not operate as originally intended due to the operation scheme of the

Flowmatcher controllers that operates the larger pumps. Using the current control

structure, the larger pumps are ramped down to accommodate lower flows. Therefore,

the “low flow” pump is never used. Solids accumulation in the corners of the wet well

does occasionally occurs and is mitigated by proactive maintenance and monitoring of

the wet well.

Draft




Both main pumps where replaced in 2016 and 2017, also the stand-by generator was

replaced in 2016. It is recommended that VFD’s are installed in place of the flow

matcher units. New controls for the pump station are also recommended with the

capability to be hooked up to a SCADA system. Lastly, to provide more energy

efficient operation of this station, it is recommended to remove the unused low

flow pump and replace the larger pumps with smaller pumps to provide more

flexibility for the variable flow swings that are experienced throughout the year.

The pumping scheme will consist of two smaller pumps able to achieve the maximum

pumping capacity of the single, larger existing pump and would still meet the

requirements of Ten States Standards related to equipment capacity and redundancy.

These improvements were identified in the Preliminary Engineering Report,

authored in September 2018, and received a $1.25 million Water Infrastructure

Improvement Act (WIIA) Grant.

Draft




B. ENTRANCE UNIT

This entrance unit is original to the 1975 plant construction. This structure will be

replaced by a new entrance unit that is currently under construction at the time of this

report and will be completed by October 2008. The newer entrance unit is located

adjacent to the original entrance unit near the compost facility.

Raw sewage is pumped to the original entrance unit from the main pump station

through a 14-inch cast iron force main.

To address problems areas associated within the existing entrance unit that were

identified in the 2003 Five Year Plan Study, the newer entrance unit was constructed

for improved grit removal, automatic screening removal, and solids

compaction/dewatering. To protect this new equipment from the weather elements, a

new building was constructed to house the new equipment and ancillary controls. The

equipment includes a Duperon FlexRakeTM mechanical bar screen (1/4” bar spacing)

for screenings removal followed by a vortex grit removal system (Smith and Loveless

Pista®). To minimize hauling costs associated with solids removal from the WWTP,

the new entrance unit also includes a grit classifier used to dewater the removed grit

particles and a washer/compactor to dewater screenings. These two units operations

also help to separate organic particles from the grit particles and screenings so they

can remain in the waste stream and be consumed in the biological processes

downstream. The new automated equipment also helps protect downstream equipment

and structures (aeration basin and digester), as well as pumps and other moving parts,

Draft




from unwanted grit and inorganic material. These improvements prevent wear and

tear to existing equipment but also reduce some of the labor hours currently required

from operation and maintenance resulting from the original entrance unit.

Recommend this facility and the unit operations to be hooked to a SCADA

system that is to be located in the waste water office/lab.

Draft




C. AERATION TANKS

There are currently two aeration basins that can be utilized for primary biological

treatment. Both aeration basins utilize fine bubble ceramic disk diffused aerators.

These disks are in fair condition and formerly received scheduled maintenance and gas

cleaning annually to optimize their operation and useful life span, but these

preventative maintenance efforts ceased in approximately 2010.

To provide efficient operation and control of the aeration blowers, dissolved oxygen

(DO) meters are installed in the aeration basins to ensure that proper DO levels are

maintained for the biological processes. According to plant personnel, these DO

meters have been effective in avoiding over-aeration and subsequent energy wasting

related with the excessive use of the aeration blowers. The Chief Operator mentioned

in an interview that he would like to add another DO sensor in each of the aeration

basins to obtain a more representative average reading of the DO levels. One sensor

gives you a single, instantaneous representation of the DO level in the basin, while

multiple sensors would provide the DO level trend for the entire biological basin.

Continued performance review of these meters is recommended. The existing

mechanical aerators remain in-place, but are inoperable. Demolition and disposal of

these mechanical aerators is recommended.

Improvements on the aeration basin have consisted of the installation of valves and a

bypass on the return activated sludge (RAS) line. Prior to the improvement, the return

activated sludge was mixed with the raw influent in a junction box on the north side of

Draft




the aeration basin. In order to isolate the discharge of RAS so it can be directed into

either the east or west aeration basin, piping modifications have been made to the RAS

line, which allow this line to bypass the junction box and be valved to discharge into

either basin.

More stringent effluent limits, most notably Nitrogen and Phosphorus, are being

imposed by regulatory agencies throughout the nation at both the state and national

levels. In addition, there is an increased awareness and concern over manmade

microconstituents (pharmaceuticals, hair care products, nanoparticles, etc.) that are

introduced into our waste stream and appear to bypass conventional treatment methods

due to their microscopic size. While the Town of Ontario WWTP is not currently

required to reach these low contaminant levels, it is recommended to investigate the

feasibility of upgrading the plant to effectively treat the compounds mentioned above

to show good environmental stewardship to the receiving water body, Lake Ontario.

There are several possible upgrades to the plant that will provide a more effective

method for nutrient removal (i.e. sequential batch reactor, membrane bioreactor,

advanced chemical treatment, advanced tertiary microfiltration). Prior to the

implementation of any possible upgrades, the completion of a successful pilot study

and/or process modeling evaluation to determine the feasibility of the process upgrade

is recommended.

It is also recommended that the basins be taken down and inspected for concrete

damage. The repair work of the concrete should be scheduled along with the

Draft




painting of each basin. The aeration basins along with all DO sensors should also

be tied into the SCADA system. These improvements are identified for 2020.

D. CLARIFIERS

The plant uses two clarifiers that provide final settlement of solids within the treatment

process. The clarifiers receive flow from the aeration basins via a 20-inch cast iron

pipe, which discharges into a flow splitter box located between the two clarifiers.

From the flow splitter box the flow is distributed between the two clarifiers through

the use of shear gate valves.

These clarifiers provide numerous problems to the operations staff and will soon be

the flow-limiting unit operation at the WWTP following the Tertiary Filtration

Upgrades. Instead of rehabilitating or upgrading these clarifiers, conversion of the

treatment process to a batch system (i.e. SBR or MBR), instead of the extended

aeration activated sludge process is recommended. This would eliminate any costs

associated with upgrades to these clarifier units.

E. TERTIARY FILTER BUILDING

The tertiary building houses the sand filters along with the clear well pumps, mud well

pumps, plant water pumps and a blower (for the filter air/water backwash system).

The filter cell structures and associated components were totally rehabilitated and/or

Draft




replaced in 1999. This rehabilitation scope included a new underdrain and backwash

system, media, piping, control valves, and fully automated controls.

However, this plant still experiences bypass events during high flows (greater than 1.3

MGD) that are a combined result of inflow and infiltration in the collection system and

tertiary filter unit capacity. Increased capacity for the tertiary filtration process is

envisioned with a new capital project combined with a new ultraviolet disinfection

capital project, as identified in the Preliminary Engineering Report, authored in

September 2018. The WWTP received a new SPDES Permit Requirement for

Disinfection in February 2018, which contains several required items related to tertiary

filtration and disinfection. A full replacement of these filters and appurtenances is

required upstream of any new ultraviolet disinfection system to ensure adequate

turbidity levels are achieved to provide suitable pretreatment for ultraviolet

disinfection, as disinfection is now a permit requirement and ultraviolet was deemed to

be the most recommended technology.

F. CHLORINE CONTACT/UV AND EFFLUENT AERATION TANK

The ultraviolet disinfection system was operated properly for almost 10 years from

1998 through 2006. It was deactivated in 2006 due to energy savings since it was not

required by permit and the effectiveness of the disinfection technology was questioned

since the tertiary filters were often bypassed and highly turbid water was conveyed

through the UV system rendering it ineffective.

Draft




The effluent aeration tank consists of two basins. The northern tank houses fine bubble

ceramic aeration diffusers and is enclosed within a structure to limit algae growth prior

to final discharge.

A current UV system needs to be installed as the prior unit was decommissioned in

2006 and is obsolete. At present we are working to obtain financial assistance for this

project. The town has already secured a grant for the engineering costs of this project.

These improvements were identified in the Preliminary Engineering Report,

authored in September 2018, and received a $1.25 million Water Infrastructure

Improvement Act (WIIA) Grant. The town will be submitting for a Water

Quality Improvement Program (WQIP) Grant from the NYSDEC for additional

financial assistance.

G. AEROBIC DIGESTER

The aerobic digester includes a course bubble air diffusion system and a mechanical

aerator. The aerobic digester is enclosed with a fiberglass cover, which was re-coated

in June of 2003. In the summer of 2003, the digester was taken down for cleaning and

a new membrane fine bubble diffuser aeration system replaced the existing coarse

bubble air system.

The components of the aerobic digester appear to be working properly. No upgrades

are recommended at this time, except for the cover and the concrete walkway

within the digester. The cover and concrete walkway are original to the initial

Draft




plant construction and needs rehabilitation in the next 1-3 years. There are

several thinning areas. However, as with all mechanical equipment, it is

recommended that continual observation and maintenance measures should be taken to

keep the equipment running efficiently and prolong the useful life of the equipment.

H. SLUDGE PUMP BUILDING

The sludge pump building houses four pumps: two centrifugal pumps (return sludge

from final clarifiers to aeration basins), one rotary lobe pump (pumps supernatant from

aeration basins or return sludge from final clarifiers) and one piston pump (pumps

sludge to belt filter press). All pumps are in fair working condition.

The blower and piping that provide the air to the digester (one positive displacement

40 horsepower) is approaching 25 years in age. This blower is operating satisfactory

and providing the required air to the aerobic digester, but the efficiency is

questionable. To provide more space in the existing Sludge Pump Building, a new,

separate Blower Building was constructed in 2005 and is located to the west of the

aeration basins. This effort has resulted in less heat build-up within the Sludge

Pump/Blower Building and has provided a healthier, quieter environment for plant

staff to work on the pumps and associated equipment located in the Sludge Pump

Building.

Associatively, to address the issue of excessive heat build-up in the Sludge Pump

Building during the warmer summer days, an exhaust fan and louver were installed at

Draft




the time the new aeration blowers were relocated to the Blower Building. However,

further improvements were necessary to address this issue. A VFD was installed in

the air conditioner cabinet similar to the Blower Building. According to the plant

operator, these mitigation measures mentioned above, combined with the relocation of

the 60 HP blowers appears to be handling the heat build-up issue adequately at this

time.

The blower in this building is approaching of service life and will need to be

replaced or rehabilitated in the next 2-5 years. The same can be said of the

sludge pumps residing in this building.

Draft




I. BLOWER BUILDING

As stated above, a new Blower Building was constructed in 2005 to house the two (2)

60 horsepower aeration blowers and provide sound attenuation. The blowers and

piping that provide the air to the diffusers in the aeration basin (two positive

displacement 60 horsepower) are also approaching 15 years in age. These blowers are

operating satisfactory and provide the required air to the extended aeration basins and

effluent aeration basins of the plant. No upgrades are recommended at this time.

However, as with all mechanical equipment, it is recommended that continual

observation and maintenance measures should be taken to keep the equipment running

efficiently and prolong the useful life of the equipment.

J. BELT PRESS BUILDING

The Belt Press Building is located adjacent to the Control Building. The belt press

was installed in 1985. The belt press needs to be replaced immediately. We are

investigating newer technologies that require less manpower and improved solids

capture.

K. COMPOST FACILITY

The Compost Facility was constructed in 2002, to replace the use of land spreading as

a means of final sludge disposal at the WWTP. The Compost Facility consists of a

Draft




240’ x 60’ building that houses the dewatered sludge, wood chip amendment, recycled

wood chip amendment, compost piles, curing piles, compost blowers and controls,

mixing unit, screening unit and a skid steer loader. All the equipment within the

facility is in fair working condition. In an effort to move compost and curing piles

more efficiently, an articulating type loader is utilized. The loader was replaced in

2017 and an application was sent into the DEC to get a grant to be reimbursed for 50%

of the cost. All of the other equipment comprising the compost operations is in need

of replacement within the next 2-5 years. We are currently investigating alternative

methods to produce Class A Biosolids in a more automated fashion as composting

has proven to be an extremely labor-intensive process requiring 1-2 full-time staff

members to operate and maintain.

L. CONTROL BUILDING

The Control Building is comprised of office space for the wastewater treatment plant

personnel, testing laboratory, maintenance garage, electrical room, chemical room, and

belt filter press room. The building itself is in good condition and all space is utilized

and therefore no physical improvements are necessary at this time.

With respect to controls within the plant, plans should be initiated in the near future

for a SCADA system to serve this facility and the associated pump stations within the

Town sanitary sewer system. This SCADA system should include the capability of

Draft




being able to monitor WWTP flows at the Town Water Treatment Plant, for times

when no operator is on duty at the WWTP.

M. DRYING BED

Although the sludge is currently being composted, the south drying bed is used for

additional sludge storage. In the summer months the eastern part of the bed will be

used for finished compost storage. No improvements are recommended.

N. WWTP - MISCELLANEOUS

Several of the plant water post hydrants are leaking or broken. Some of the problems

that may result from these hydrants include improper draining and possible freezing in

the winter months. We recommend that repairs be made to this piping as required and

the replacement of the existing hydrants with frost-free post hydrants where warranted.

O. COLLECTION SYSTEM

The Collection System is currently in fair to good condition. However, we

recommend a phased approach to perform inflow infiltration and inflow (I/I)

investigations for other questionable areas of the Town sewer system. Crews

completed a system-wide inventory and visual inspection of the sewer collection

system in 2018. The previous inspection records indicate that 1993 was the last time

Draft




this was performed. The crews documented inaccessible manholes (manhole covers

paved over), conditions of the manholes and sewer through visual inspections, sealing

leaking manholes, and smoke testing for potential infiltration and inflow problem

areas. These efforts will be continued throughout 2019 and beyond to minimize I/I

into the system.

The Town currently has 13 sanitary sewer pump stations, which are all in fair working

condition. Based on these occurrences as well as the potential health concerns, we

would recommend that this station be equipped with onsite backup power capabilities

(similar to recent improvements performed at the Roder Parkway Pump Station).

Two other pump stations that should be considered for the installation of backup

power are the RG&E Station and the Slocum Road Station due to the large volumes of

flow that they handle based on their critical locations within the system.

P. ENERGY MANAGEMENT/ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

As the price of fuel and energy continues to rise, municipal wastewater treatment

facilities will be taxed with even more responsibilities to minimize their energy usage

and increase the efficiency of their operations. New York is fortunate to have the New

York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSDERA) to aid with the

development of future technologies for efficient and responsible energy production

and consumption. NYSERDA currently has multiple avenues to aid municipal entities

with energy management matters. These items include: benchmarking programs to

Draft




determine the energy consumption baseline of the plants, sub metering to determine

the energy usage of the different operations at the WWTP by installing a meter at each

of them; and an energy management assessment.1 We recommend conversations with

NYSERDA to identify potential funding opportunities. In the event that funding

opportunities are available, we recommend the preparation of the necessary studies

and assessments to implement more energy efficient methods at the WWTP.

In an effort to minimize energy costs, additional research and studies are

recommended to identify plausible alternative energy sources. The list of such

alternative energy technologies currently available to the Ontario WWTP includes:

wind turbines for electricity production as the facility sits on a prime location along

Lake Ontario; conversion of the aerobic digester to anaerobic operation to create

methane that can be used for combined heat and power measures at the plant and

administration building; and the use of Lake Ontario for geothermal heating and

cooling purposes.

Q. EXPANSION AREAS FOR COLLECTION SEWERS

Expansion of sewers into the Union Hill and western end of Route 104 are

recommended, based on requests by nearby business owners and residents. A

preliminary layout of sewers was prepared by MRB Group in 2012 but will need to be

progressed to design development documents and more accurate cost estimates. It is

also important to note that this service area is not contained within any of the

Draft




previously established Town Sewer Benefit Improvement Areas but is identified as the

Union Hill Exclusion Zone. This exclusion area and its boundaries will need to be

eliminated. And the capital improvements for sewer should be combined with capital

projects associated with water system improvements and County roadway and

drainage improvements in this area.

There has also been a concern over the lack of sanitary sewer collection and conveying

facilities along Lake Road, east of Bear Harbor extending to Fisher Road at the

Williamson town line, for residences that are located along Lake Ontario. To

eliminate the potential for septic discharges into Lake Ontario from the on-site septic

systems located on these properties, it is recommended consideration be given to the

expansion of sewers in this area. It should be noted that the earlier referenced Lake

Road area is in the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) Intended Use Plan

(IUP) for potential future grant or low-interest funding.

IV. CONCLUSION

In general, the wastewater plant and collection system are in good condition. Through

plant upgrades and regular maintenance of equipment the plant has been nearly trouble

free. While the plant is in good condition it is necessary to make improvements to the

overall treatment process as technology improves, equipment reaches its service life, and

regulations and effluent requirements become more stringent.

I. BACKGROUND

The Town of Ontario is a certified laboratory by Department of Health (DOH), Department of

Environmental Conservation (DEC), Environmental Approval Program (ELAP) and

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consisting of two locations: water treatment plant and

wastewater treatment plant.

The Water Utilities Department is certified for:

• biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),

• total suspended solids,

• settleable solids,

• total coliform,

• standard plate count,

• e-coli enumeration potable water and

• e-coli enumeration non-potable.

Being a certified laboratory saves the town on expenses that the town would accrue if we were

not certified. The laboratory also brings in bacteriologic samples from other towns and private

individuals bringing revenue for the Water Utilities Department and offsetting the cost of

maintaining laboratory certification.

III. MULTI-YEAR PLAN PRIORITIZATION AND REPLACEMENT PLAN

The Water Utilities Department is unveiling a more robust inventory and decision-making

process to identify assets that need renewal, rehabilitation, or replacement. For the laboratory

assets, we decided to utilize the current condition and remaining useful lifespan to help

identify assets in need of replacement. If the asset can be rehabilitated, we investigate that

route first, but due to the sensitivity and advanced technologies comprising this equipment

that it not usually an option.

The following replacement schedules display the anticipated, respective replacement priorities

for the water and wastewater laboratories. The assets identified in this 5-year Capital Plan

Period are highlighted in bold-faced font.

MEMORANDUM

H76 Capital Project Closeout Memo Page 1 of 1

To: Ontario Town Board/Board of Water Commissioners

From: Adam Cummings, P.E.

Date: 1/29/19

Subject: Close Out of Capital Project H76 Capital Reserve Fund and Debt Service

Planning

I respectfully request the Town Board/Board of Water Commissioners approve

the closure of capital project H76 (Wastewater Treatment Entrance Building) and the

associated H76 Capital Reserve Fund Bank Account, as the project has paid all expenses

relative to the facility and its construction. Please note that this facility completed

construction more than 10 years ago and no additional expenses have been required since

that time.

Additionally, I request the Business Manager be authorized to distribute/credit the

remaining balance of approximately $43,278 (including earned interest) to pay towards

remaining debt service associated with the Entrance Building.

The 2019 Budget was adopted with a planned payment of $30,000 for Debt

Service Payment for the Entrance Building. According to the bond maturity schedule,

there is $133,000 remaining Debt Service for the Entrance Building. Applying the capital

reserve funds from H76 reduces the remaining Debt Service to $89,722.

Investigating the historical accounting records, it was discovered that Sanitary

Sewer Benefit Improvement Area No. 1 (“Sewer District No.1”) has paid all the

expenditures for the wastewater treatment plant for the entire existence of the wastewater

treatment plant. Sewer Benefit Improvement Area No. 2 (“Sewer District No. 2”) has

never been used to pay for expenditures to operate and maintain the wastewater treatment

plant even though the sanitary waste from Sewer District No. 2 is treated at the

wastewater treatment plant. Sewer District No. 2 has accrued a significant amount of

fund balance due to this. Therefore, I would like to request the use of Sewer District No.

2 fund balance to pay the remaining Debt Service amount ($86,722) for the Entrance

Building.

Combined with the scheduled final payment of the debt service for Sanitary

Sewer District No. 2 that is scheduled for 2019, both sewer districts will be debt free,

which provides a much more preferred avenue to introduce sewer rate increases since

both districts would be on equal footing and only subject to operations, maintenance, and

capital reserve amounts.

Subject: Energy Management - Power Demand Response Program

Our Water Utilities Department utilizes at vast amount of energy resources to operate the

treatment plants, pump stations, and ancillary buildings. I have solicited proposals from several

Demand Response Program firms to determine if our power consumption amounts exceed the

amounts that allow for our participation in this program. It has been determined that we are a

high demand user of the power grid and we have identified means to curtail our energy demand

during peak demand periods.

Therefore, I am asking for approval of the Town Board/Board of Water Commissioners

to authorize the Supervisor and myself to execute the necessary paperwork to participate in this

program.

Subject: Water Treatment Plant Operator 1A Certification School Authorization

I respectfully request authorization to send Andrew Kujawski and Randy Balliet to attend

the Grade I Advanced Operations Course offered by the Western New York Water

Operator School. This course is from June 10-14, 2019 in Tonawanda, NY. This license

requires 10 years of qualified experience to sit for the course. Both of these individuals

have achieved this milestone and have interest in pursuing this advanced licensure and I

recommend approval to send them to attend the certification course.

Expenses include the following:

Description Cost

Course Registration Fee (2 people at $700 each) $1,400

Lodging (4 nights x $100 per night) $400

Dining Budget $280

Total $2,080

Therefore, I am asking for authorization to approve these expenses not to exceed $2,080.

Payment will come from Fund Account FFF.8310.4, which there is adequate funds.

I am also asking for authorization for them to take a Town of Ontario Water Utilities

vehicle to travel to the course and return. If they elect not to take a town vehicle and

decide to take their own personal vehicle(s) that travel is not subject to mileage

reimbursement since they have decided not to take a town-issued vehicle. They have

been informed of this requirement.

Dear Prospective Enrollee,

Thank you for choosing the Western New York Water Operator School to help further your career in the

water industry. All of our courses have been approved by the NY State Department of Health and satisfy

all mandated requirements. Below is some information that you may find beneficial during your time

attending the course you have chosen.

Courses are held at the Town of Tonawanda Water Treatment Plant, 218 Aqua Lane, Town of

Tonawanda, NY 14150. The facility is located just north of the city of Buffalo near the intersection of

Sheridan Dr. (Rt. 325) and River Rd. (Rt. 266). The attached map may be of some help in orienting

yourself to our location. Treatment Plant phone number is (716) 877-4453.

Parking is often limited within the fenced and gated facility grounds. Therefore, we ask that attendees

park their vehicles in the Shoreline Trail parking lot located just to the right of the Treatment Plant

driveway upon entering. From there, you can simply approach the front gate to the facility where you

can use the call box to request Plant personnel to allow you entrance. They will then direct you to the

conference room in the building. We apologize for this minor inconvenience, but security has become a

major issue at most water plants in the U.S. today.

Classes begin at 8:00 am and end at 5:00 pm (exception: Grade D courses end at 5:30 pm). A one hour

lunch break and two 15-minute breaks are included during the day. Attendance is mandatory at each

course session.

Instructional methods include textbook and Student Manual readings, homework assignments,

supplemental handouts and videos, hands-on laboratory exercises and plant tour. Quizzes and math

problem solvers are included during the instructional period. A comprehensive exam concludes the

course (minimum 70% passing grade required for successful course completion).

Note: Textbooks and Student Manual are provided during the class.

Prospective attendees are strongly encouraged to review their basic math skills with

particular emphasis in calculating conversions (metric to U.S. system), volumes of

tanks and cylinders, calculation of chemical dosages (for Grades I, A, B, and C

courses), proportions, and basic hydraulics: flow and head calculations. Please note

additional information for Grade I, Advanced Operations enrollees on the next page.

All enrollees should bring the following to class:

-Pencils/pens, highlighter and a notebook

-Grades A,B,C and D students should bring a standard hand-held calculator for math problem

solvers and familiarize themselves with its use. Phone calculator apps will not be permitted in

the exam.

Note: Grade I students should bring an inexpensive (ex: TI30) calculator capable of performing

logarithmic functions. Phone calculator apps will not be permitted in the exam.

Draft


Kenmore, NY 14223


Please note: Many classes fill quickly. Enrollment in all sessions is limited to 18

students. Prospective attendees are encouraged to enroll early. Purchase orders will

be accepted to temporarily hold a seat, but tuition payment is due no later than two

(2) weeks before the course session begins and guarantees classroom seating (see

course dates and tuition schedule on next page).

Please remember to fill out and return the enclosed “Application For Water

Operator Certification Course” (DOH 353 form) to the WNYWOS (address and

email at top).

For Grade I – Advanced Operations enrollees:

The Grade I course is a challenging and intensive 1–week examination of advanced

treatment technologies and calculations, administration and management practices,

treatment and management optimization, and drinking water regulations. It is

assumed the student is thoroughly familiar with basic conventional treatment

methods and objectives of the coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection

processes. It further assumes the student is familiar with math skills involving

calculation of volumes, areas, filtration rates, chemical dosages, detention times, and

hydraulics (e.g. head calculations, and flow rates). As such, those basic skills, along

with pump and motor sizing, membrane filtration, water softening calculations, log

removals, CT calculations, and other advanced treatment plant math problem

solvers are a staple of the course.

We look forward to seeing you at our next course session and we will do our utmost to make the

experience a worthwhile and educational experience for you. Thank you for choosing us as a training

provider.
