STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Overview

The Molalla Water Treatment Facility operates 24hrs a day 7 days a week. In the event of a power outage certain steps need to be followed to ensure there is no disruption in treatment operations. The city does have backup generators at the Pump Station and at the Treatment Plant. These generators will power on automatically in the event of an outage.

Address of the Treatment Plant

32899 S. Molalla Forest Rd.

Our responsibility

1.  The Treatment Operator / On call Duty person will need to call PGE and Report the Outage. When contacting PGE, report that you are “calling to report an outage at the City of Molalla Drinking Water Plant at 32899 S. Molalla Forest Rd”.

2.  Generators will be full of fuel but if we operate on generator power for more than several hours the fuel level will need to be checked, see diesel supplier below.

3.  Treatment Operator - After an outage sometimes some of the electronics at the WTP will need to be reset. This is only needed if the equipment is nonresponsive or otherwise displays an abnormal condition.
