PWSRESPONSE: COLONY ONE AOAO — REQUEST FOR INFORMATION <br /> 1. Has PWS developed a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan (ERP)? Such a plan should include <br /> scenarios for power outage, natural disasters, and man made disasters as well as include contact <br /> lists of County, State, and Federal agencies and specific contact persons at those agencies. It <br /> should also include other emergency contacts for materials, equipment, supplies, and contractors. <br /> • PWS is currently developing an ERP to include all above scenarios and contact list. <br /> 2. Has PWS secured a generator or generators to provide backup power for the potable water well, <br /> wastewater pumping station, and wastewater treatment facility? If so, has a working electrical <br /> connection and switch been installed and fueling needs considered? <br /> • PWS is in the process of having a power asessment done to determine current power <br /> generation needs for portable emergency generators for the potable water well, <br /> wastewater pump station, and wastewater treatment plant. Upon completion of the <br /> assessment, appropriate sizing of the generators and electrical connections/outlets can be <br /> determined. <br /> 3. Has PWS(or a contractor) surveyed the condition of the primary well (potable) and its <br /> appurtenances and created a list of spare parts to be inventoried? <br /> • Big Island Mechanical has performed an assessment of the Potable Water Well A (primary <br /> well)and is in the process of following up on quotes for replacing some of the critical <br /> equipment.A spare chlorination pump and head is on order. Consumable parts for the <br /> chlorination system are stocked. <br /> 4. Has PWS(or a contractor) surveyed the condition of the secondary well (inoperative and non- <br /> potable)to ascertain the possibility of it being certified for potable use and acting as a backup in <br /> the event the primary well fails? <br /> • The condition of the Potable Well a (secondary well)has been visually inspected and shaft <br /> rotation checked. The shaft is seized due to possible well casing issues. For a complete <br /> inspection the motor,pump and other associated assemblies will need to be removed for <br /> inspection by a third-party contractor. Will be soliciting an assessment by Big Island <br /> Mechanical. <br /> 5. Has PWS performed a lost water audit on the potable water system (pretreatment and in the <br /> distribution system)? <br /> • A visual check of the potable water system has been done. See Question#6 for further <br /> explanation. <br /> • A comprehensive lost water audit will be done for the pretreatment and distribution system <br /> when the system is upgraded for the proposed Phase I development. <br /> 1IPage <br />
