The significant events for the water system in December 2010. During extreme rain events, a significant portion of the Gage Pipe ine was found to be unsafe to operate (exposed high pressure natural gas lines), and removed from service until repairs can be made. At this time, this bears little impact to our ability to serve the city. Also due to unanticipated and unpreventable run-off loading of the canal from the rains, numerous portions of our concrete canals were rendered inoperable. A limited stretch is still unscathed and currently in service, and will remain so until repairs are made. This will place restrictions on our ability to provide irrigation, water, but provisions will be made in the interim. 2010 Year Total Current Period Last Month December 2009 Peak Consumption: 90.6 mgd 50.3 mgd 66.3 mgd 61.7 mgd Average Consumption. 58.0 mgd 35.7 mgd 50.0 mgd 41.8 mgd Minimum Consumption: 26.3 mgd 26.3 mgd 35.1 mgd 32.2 mgd Total Consumption: 66,640 AF 3,649 AF 4,787 AF 4,066 AF Peak Temperature: 113 86 99 80 Average Temperature: 78 66 73 64 Minimum Temperature: 46 53 57 50
