Full scale monitoring of filters indicates all filters can produce water meeting all required treatment objectives (TOC and turbidity removal). • Dual column pilot filter testing indicates that Filters 1,3 and 5 have sorption capacity remaining, while the older filters do not have sorption capacity remaining. • Due to lack of sorption in filters 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8, the ability to remove MIB is compromised. • Staff recommends a MIB Response Plan to handle MIB events because: • MIB events are very infrequent. • MIB events are of short duration (6 to 8 weeks) • From the MWQI Water Quality Reports, staff can have advanced warning of MIB issues in the main canal. • MIB is a taste and odor issue as opposed to health and safety issue (MIB can be tasted a 5-10 ng/l for sensitive individuals) FY 2010/11 Preliminary Budget Gac replacement postponement
