Recent BMC Actions – some highlights A. A BMC meeting was held on 20Jan2020 since the last update of this report. Director Cote and Director Gardner both represented S&T at this meeting (Cote had to leave early). Dan Heimel, the BMC Executive Director was not able to attend and the planned agenda for this meeting was shortened. I will only report on that meeting here: a. The committee (with S&T approval) accepted the presented budget update and payment of 4 invoices. S&T costs for the 2020 calendar year remained within the S&T budgeted spending for BMC. b. The committee (with S&T approving) voted to approve a proposal from Water Systems Consulting for the Executive Director budget of $69,940 for the 2021 calendar year. C. BMC Staff meetings Since the last S&T report, 1 BMC staff meeting was held on 8Jan2021. • The BMC staff discussed the results of the fall 2020 draft water level and chloride metrics that are destined for publication in the first draft of the BMC 2020 Annual Report (refer to the attached plots of these metrics) Director Chris Gardner, the S&T Staff Representative to the BMC, can provide a summary of what occurred at that meeting. The next BMC meeting is scheduled for TBD at 1:30 pm. Instructions for how to attend this ZOOM web meeting are available on the BMC agenda which can be accessed on the BMC website (the location of the BMC website is provided above in paragraph 1 on the first page of this report). 8a-BasinManagementReport(18Feb2021-A).doc Page 2 of 3 MEMO 8a-BasinManagementReport(18Feb2021-A).doc Page 3 of 3 MEMO TO: S&T Mutual Water Co., Board of Directors Copies: Company Officers FROM: Charlie Cote – Director / Treasurer / Certified System Operator DATE: 18 Feb 2021 SUBJECT: 8b: Report from Operations (Rev A) Recommendations I recommend that the S&T Board read this report, comment on the contents and provide direction for the content of future reports or updates.

Current operating parameters The meters were last read on 31Dec2020 for the 2-month metering period that ended on that day. The data from that reading was presented in this report at the previous Board meeting and remains here in this report without edits: A. The median water use for this period was 10,385 gallons, down from the 11,251 gallon median use during the previous metering period. B. 21 customer contacts were made regarding water leaks or excessive use during this period. C. Water production was 1.8 Million gallons during this 2-month period. D. The two S&T water storage tanks hold 0.8 days of water while maintaining the minimum requirement of 180k gallons storage for firefighting at the current customer water use. o The California Fire Code indicates that S&T must maintain a minimum 22.7k gallons of water storage at 20 psig or higher for fighting fires in the service area (when the type V-B construction homes are less than 4,800 sq. ft.). o This means we must maintain at least 17 feet of water level as read on the south tank level gage to store the minimum amount of firefighting water. E. “Unaccounted for water” = produced water – water metered to users = 30,095 gallons for this period. This amounts to 1.7% of the water produced during this period. This relatively large water loss was due to hydrant flushing during December. 8b-OperationsReport(18Feb2021-A).doc
