Dan,

The smoke and ash poses a health risk to essential workers so the crew is washing down essential areas. They will be taking care of City Hall and medical facility across parking lot, fire department, Main Street Urgent Care, Shops, water treatment plant, wastewater treatment plant, and school parking areas. We wont water all areas and will wait to see if rain on Monday and Tuesday do the rest of the work for us.

WWTP – Operating and continuing to irrigate Coleman fields at the request of the Fire District. We will do this as long as we have enough water at the plant to do so without affecting plant operations. Chlorine supply to arrive today.

WTP – We are producing 2400 GPM and peak fire use is 1600 GPM. Reservoirs are full and new plant is operating well. Operators are controlling plant remotely. Chlorine delivery arriving today to refill supply.

Shops – Some vehicles moved to other jurisdictions and will be returning as conditions allow. Crews that are available are coming in as needed. Lots of evacuations including myself. Andy is operating from Olympia WA and has come down as needed.

Will update you when I have more.

Regards,
