NEW BUSINESS
1. Proposed Board Meeting Schedule for 2020 Executive Assistant and HR Generalist Kendall Joy addressed the Board with a
proposed Board meeting schedule for 2020. She explained that according to District By-Laws and the SC Code regarding meetings of public bodies, the schedule must be published in a public newspaper in general circulation of the county and the District’s website. She noted that meetings can be rescheduled as the need arises. Without further discussion, William J.
Schwartzkopf accepted a motion from Assistant Secretary Sean Flynn, duly seconded by Secretary Alice Barron, to adopt the proposed meeting schedule for 2020. The motion carried unanimously.
2. Customer Adjustment Request - Lott Finance and Administration Services Director John Buck informed the Board of an
adjustment request submitted by Hamilton and Barbara Lott for a property on Atlantic Avenue in Pawleys Island. Mr. Buck explained there was a service line leak which caused water excess and sewer volume charges for the 394,400 gallons that passed through the meter during a one month period. He noted the repairs were made and a receipt for materials and an adjustment form requesting the adjustment from the owner is attached. The adjustment request met the District’s requirements. Mr. Buck recommended the Board grant the adjustment request for Mr. and Mrs. Lott’s account (29001520.00) in the amount of $3,143.40 for the water access and sewer volume charges. Chairman William J. Schwartzkopf accepted a motion from Assistant Secretary Sean Flynn, duly seconded by Secretary Alice Barron, to grant the adjustment request for Mr. and Mrs. Lott’s account (29001520.00) in the amount of $3,143.40 for water excess and sewer volume charges. The motion was unanimously approved.
3. Contract Meter Replacement Proposal Billing and Collections Supervisor Zach Webb approached the Board with a proposal to
allocate $50,000 for meter replacements as pointed out in the FY2020 Capital Improvement Plan. Mr. Webb explained that $20,000.00 would replace approximately four to five large meters located in areas that present safety hazards for District staff. He further explained the remaining $30,000.00 would be allocated to replace approximately 220 standard meters along the Waccamaw Neck and approximately 130 standard meters at the north end of Pawleys Island due to age and condition. Mr. Webb noted as approved at the October 2019 meeting, the District will purchase meters from our approved supplier, Ferguson Waterworks for a total of $14,700.00. For meter installation, the solicitation for bids was advertised in accordance with the District’s procurement policy and posted on the District’s website. He noted that two bids had been received and G2 Utilities was the lowest responsive bidder at $42.00 per meter installed for a total of $14,000.00. Staff recommended adding a $1,300.00 contingency for a total installation cost not to exceed $15,300.00. Chairman William J. Schwartzkopf asked if the District always outsourced meter installations in the past, and Mr. Webb explained the Meter Department is in the process of replacing meters along the Waccamaw Neck, though more have been discovered during this process. He further explained that G2 Utilities will have more time and resources to replace meters along the north end of Pawleys Island because District personnel have already started to replace meters on the Waccamaw Neck. Vice Secretary Sean Flynn asked if meter replacements are documented in the District’s GIS. Mr. Webb explained that Staff is in the process of mirroring GIS with Logics, the system where meter replacements are documented, though most meters in need of replacement are older than when the District started to use these systems. Chairman William J. Schwartzkopf accepted a motion from Vice Chairman Richard Heath, duly seconded by Secretary Alice Barron, to approve the contract proposal for G2 Utilities Inc. for installation of approximately
350 standard ¾” meters provided by the District at a cost not to exceed $30,000.00 for labor with the District supplying materials. The motion passed unanimously.
4. Landscape Maintenance Extension
Executive Director Raymond Gagnon approached the Board with a proposed existing contract extension with B & V Services, LLC for lawn and landscape maintenance at approximately 274 District facilities. Mr. Gagnon noted the agreement could be extended for two additional years if both parties agree but the current agreement is scheduled to expire December 31, 2019. He explained the contract rate is adjusted for a 1.3% increase in the average consumer price index (CPI) from the preceding year ending October, 2019 for a total of $80,914.23. He noted the total is based off work performed beginning January 1 2020 to December 31, 2020. Staff recommended awarding the contract extension to B & V Services, LLC for an additional year. Without further discussion, Chairman William J. Schwartzkopf accepted a motion from Assistant Secretary Sean Flynn, duly seconded by Vice Chairman Richard Heath, to extend the landscape maintenance services contract with B & V Services, LLC for an additional year for a total of $80,914.23. The motion was approved unanimously.
5. Vertical Pump Rehabilitation
Executive Director Raymond Gagnon addressed the Board with the request for vertical
pump station rehabilitation. He reminded the Board that that the FY2020 Depreciation and Capital Replacement budget allocates funds toward the rotation of rehabilitating vertical turbine pumps. Mr. Gagnon explained that two pumps at the Pawleys Island WWTP and two pumps for water operations are scheduled for rehabilitation. The solicitation for bids was advertised in compliance with the District’s procurement policy and posted on the District’s website. Staff requested bidders include both rehabilitation and replacement costs for the project and an estimate for possible adders or unforeseen damage that is not visible until pumps are disassembled and inspected. He noted that one of the three bids received was rendered unresponsive and Charles R. Underwood, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder for an estimated total of $125,043.50 to rehabilitate the vertical turbine pumps. The bid results are attached below and are made a part of these minutes. Staff recommends Charles R. Underwood rehabilitate the pumps for a total of $125,043.50. After brief discussion, Chairman William J. Schwartzkopf accepted a motion from Vice Chairman Richard Heath, duly seconded by Assistant Secretary Sean Flynn, to award the pump rehabilitation to Charles R. Underwood, Inc. with the caveat that if any of the four pumps exceed 75% of possible adders after inspection, Staff’s recommendation will be to replace the vertical turbine pump(s). The motion carried unanimously.

ACCOUNTING SUPERVISOR – BILLING AND COLLECTIONS DATE: DECMEBER 31, 2019 SUBJECT: CUSTOMER ADJUSTMENT REQUEST ______________________________________________________________________ A residential customer, Steven Peer, is requesting an adjustment due to a service line leak under his residence located at 10 Crooked Island Circle in Murrells Inlet, SC. Upon noticing higher than normal usage on the account, the Billing Department sent an initial letter to notify the customer on August 2, 2019. A repair was made between December 17, 2019 and December 18, 2019. An adjustment form requesting the adjustment is attached. This account is a water and sewer account. The requested adjustment is for the water excess and sewer volume charges for 529,800 gallons billed over a two month period; November and December of 2019. All water that went through the meter would be billed at the lowest rate tier. The billing adjustment policy allows for an adjustment “In the event a leak occurs on the user’s side of the meter box, the user must assume full responsibility for repair and replacement as needed. The District’s user regulations state that upon applying for service, the user must maintain and/or reinstall, as needed all appurtenant lines, connections, fittings, etc., beyond the check valve and gate valve. When such leaks do occur, and at the discretion of the District, billing adjustments may be made.” In the event that the water was not returned to the sewer collection system, the policy states, “Upon determination that water used did not return to the sewer system, the sewer portion of the user’s bill including sewer volume charges may be adjusted. In addition, all water excess use charges may be adjusted.” FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact would be a reduction of $968.60 in water excess use charges, and $3,183.39 in sewer volume charges for the months of November and December 2019. The remaining balance after the adjustment would be $2,419.85. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board of Directors grant the adjustment request for Mr. Peer account (94000840.97) totaling $4,151.99 for the water excess charges and sewer volume charges.
MEMO
ZWW
TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: MICHAEL YIP, OPERATIONS DIRECTOR DATE: December 30, 2019 SUBJECT: RFP: Pawleys Island WWTP SCADA System Key factors for our wastewater Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is to provide a remote data log of our treatment process, which will serve as continuous monitoring and required plant checks for our wastewater facilities. SCDHEC has considered and will reevaluate our wastewater treatment process to use SCADA system as a remote monitoring tool to reduce physical plant checks at our wastewater treatment plants. By incorporating SCADA system for our wastewater treatment plants, we can satisfy our NPDES permit requirements, reduce unproductive drive time by more than 50 percent and optimize operations efficiencies. Our current telecommunication for Pawleys Island Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is a single alarm that dials out in an event of any faulty equipment. The District divided the development, installation and optimization of wastewater SCADA system into two phases. First phase is to integrate SCADA for Pawleys Island WWTP and provide a central SCADA communication hub for all of our treatment locations. Second phase is to integrate SCADA for the remaining wastewater treatment plants and connect all treatment plants into one central location. The request for proposals was advertised in compliance with the District’s procurement policy and posted on the District’s web site. The District received five (5) proposals and accepted four (4) proposals on December 19, 2019 at 5:00PM with the requirements of the RFP. We could not give the 5th proposal, Lord & Company, a score on cost due to an incomplete proposal. They only provided a central SCADA communication hub and did not provide additional equipment, installation, and integration cost required on the Bid Proposal for Pawley Island WWTP SCADA system. There are five weighted categories on which the proposals were to be evaluated. The respondents’ scores based on evaluation criteria are as follows:

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends awarding the Pawleys Island WWTP SCADA System Integration to Century Control Systems for $126,819.00 with a 10% contingency for a total of $139,501.00.
TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS FROM: MICHAEL FU MAN YIP, OPERATIONS DIRECTOR DATE: December 30, 2019 SUBJECT: Fluoridation of District’s Drinking Water Waccamaw Neck Water Treatment Plant has been in service since November 1996 and has always had as its mission to produce high quality drinking water for the community. The District has altered, enhanced, and changed the treatment processes and equipment to meet the dynamics of customer demands and regulatory changes. Our current treatment process includes direct surface water intake, rapid mix, pH adjustment, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection, and fluoridation to meet the present day needs and requirements of the community. To continue producing high quality drinking water, the District is reviewing the fluoridation process at the water treatment plant. We are having continuous failures of the original batching equipment that is in need of replacement. Our fluoride batching system was producing inconsistence fluoride concentration. We immediately locked out the equipment and notified SCDHEC to prevent violation under National Primary Drinking Water Regulations for contaminant level exceedance of fluoride concentration. Fluoridation is not required under EPA and SCDHEC, but monitoring of fluoride concentration is mandatory under State and Federal regulations. In accordance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, the EPA has established drinking water standards for a number of substances, including fluoride, to protect the public’s health. The maximum allowed level of fluoride in drinking water is 4 ppm. There are small amounts of fluoride already present in our raw water. Concentrations are less than 0.2 mg/L. The District adds fluoride in a controlled fashion such that the concentration in the finished water would be near recommended industry standards set by American Dental Association (ADA) and the US Public Health Service. Between 1959 and late 2010, recommended concentration was between 1.0 mg/L and 1.3 mg/L. In late 2010, following much public debate in regard to fluoridation, a new target of 0.7 mg/L was established. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
MEMO
has updated their recommended safe dosage for water fluoridation. Rather than an exact dosage, the CDC now recommends a range from 0.6 mg/L to 1.0 mg/L. Our community are exposed to fluoride in their daily food intake and fluoride-containing dental products. They have a choice on what food and fluoride-containing products they want to purchase. We should give our customers a choice for not adding additional contaminants such as fluoride into our drinking water. A list of common food products with detectable fluoride concentration is attached. FISCAL IMPACT: New fluoride batching system and two chemical feed pumps at $40,571.51.

FROM: TOMMIE KENNEDY ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DATE: DECEMBER 24, 2019
SUBJECT: VARIANCE REQUEST
The new owner of a property in Murrells Inlet on the east side of Business 17 across from the intersection of Wachesaw Road and Business 17 is planning on building a house near the creek. Unfortunately the District owns operates and maintains utilities that conflict with his plans. The sewer and water mains were installed in the late 70’s while the original Creek drive passed through his and his neighbor’s properties. Sometime in the past the home owners on the south end of Creek Drive began closing off the road to prevent through traffic. To the best of my knowledge the road was never properly abandoned and the District has no formal easements and no valid encroachment permit as the County nor the State claim ownership of this portion of Creek Drive. However because of the length of time the lines have been installed and used, the District does have prescriptive rights to maintain the existing lines. Acknowledging this unique issue the new owner is willing to pay to have the sewer line on his property relocated while maintaining everyone’s service. Staff has reviewed and approved the plan for relocating the sewer main and manholes that cross his property. The new owner is also willing to provide easements for the new lines where they cross his property. The new owner is also willing to pay to move the existing water main that crosses his property however in order to relocate the water main around where he wants to build his house, a portion of the water main will be closer than 25 feet from his house’s foundation which is a violation of our extension policy. The owner is requesting a variance to allow the water main to be less than 25 feet from his house’s foundation.
FISCAL IMPACT: $0
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recognizes this is a unique situation however staff can not recommend the variance because it goes against District Policy.

December 16, 2019 Tommie Kennedy Engineering Director 456 Clearwater Drive Pawleys Island, SC 29585 Re: Dixon Water Main Relocation
Tms #41-0120-089-00-00 4587 Hwy 17 Business Murrells Inlet, SC 29576 Dear Mr. Kenedy: We humbly requesting variance for relocation of an existing waterline. Our client, Mr. Harold Dixon would like to build his home on a residential lot that he owns. Unfortunately, there are existing old water & sewer mains crosses the lot at the location of the proposed home. Mr. Dixon is willing to pay for the relocation of the existing water & sewer mains. The sewer relocation design was accepted by the District but not the design of the water main relocation. Due to the constraint of the property lines and the location of the building, it is not possible to accommodate a 25’ clearance over the water main. We respectfully request a variance for the relocation of the water main. Sincerely, Dat Mai [email protected] The EARTHWORKS Group Enclosures: Cc: Harold Dixon
