<br /> <br />. <br />. <br /> <br />4. Procedures for operating during or after system failures <br /> <br />· Portable Generators - The jurisdiction has two portable generators that <br />can operate the lift station. and all three lift stations have a generator <br />receptacle so that they can be run by a portable generator. Based on the <br />amount of storage in the lines and the wetwell in the vicinity of the lift <br />stations. the Public Works Director will assign employees to transport and <br />hook up the portable generators to the lift stations. If all three lift stations <br />are not working. the Director will establish a schedule to rotate the two <br />generators among the three lift stations. If necessary, the Public Works <br />Director will try to obtain an additional generator through mutual aid <br />agreement or rental. <br /> <br /> <br />· Vacuum Truck - If the generators are not able to handle the flow. the <br />jurisdiction can pump sewage out of the lift stations with the vacuum truck <br />The Public Works Director will assign employees to use this truck to pump <br />sewage. <br /> <br />· Tanker Truck - The jurisdiction also may be able to pump the sewage into <br />its tanker truck The Public Works Director will assign employees to pump <br />sewage using this truck <br /> <br />· lift Station Bypass - Because of the topography in the vicinity of lift station <br /># I , we would be able to establish a line to bypass that lift station. If needed, <br />the Public Works Director will contact a contractor to construct this line. <br />This is not an option for lift stations #2 and #3 because the distance to a <br />manhole, which discharges into a gravity line, is too great <br /> <br />· Temporary Overflows - To avoid sewer backups in citizens' houses if the <br />above options do not handle overflow, the jurisdiction may have to establish <br />temporary overflows from the lift stations.The jurisdiction will work with <br />the State Environmental Protection Agency to try to minimize the use and <br />impact of this option. <br /> <br /> <br />· Water restrictions - If a jurisdiction-wide or regional power outage lasts <br />more than 24 hours. the jurisdiction will consider restricting community <br />water usage to reduce flow of wastewater through the system. <br /> <br />Contingency and Consequence Management Planning for Year 2000 Conversion <br /> <br />43 <br /> <br />." ,,,..,..!:.::.!If::::\m:~T~:~:~n:;C":~:':~~::::''':':::''''''''" .' .......:.... <br /> <br />-, <br />
