West Monroe, LA United States T: Monthly Report of Operation and Maintenance For the Greater Ouachita Water Company For the Month of January 2016 February 18, 2016 Mr. Wood T. Sparks. CEO Greater Ouachita Water Company PO Box 1257 West Monroe LA, Dear Mr. Sparks: Severn Trent Environmental Services is pleased to present the attached Monthly report. Included is a detailed report of operation and maintenance of GOWC Wastewater, Water Treatment Plants and Pump Stations and, Billing and collections.

3 Executive Summary Most quality issues during the month of January have been on the purchased water systems where water is bought from the City Of Monroe and sold to GWOC customers. This is due to the City of Monroe s annual Chlorine Burn in wrapping up. Their anticipated stop date is January 30, 2016 and will return to Chloramine disinfection. During this time GOWC has been working with Corona Environmental to install automated controls to boost disinfection level to stay at the required levels throughout the systems. These have been installed on the North Monroe system and are now in service. The controls system are being installed on the Lakeshore system and expected to be operation by the end of March Water main replacements are in full swing in the Walters st. areas West Monroe, and in the Tangle wood Subdivision in Monroe. These are both areas that are plagued with main breaks due to very old and brittle lines. Both projects are nearing completion and will provide better services to the customers in those areas. During the month of January 2016 we had 1108 Various Work orders that required staff to go out and follow up. These include reconnects, new services, water leaks, meter rereads, service disconnects, and of those work orders we had reported 17 water quality calls. Along with the normal work orders we conducted 580 line locates throughout the parish. Field services called in 64 locates for our own work to repair 46 leaks, repaired 2 Fire Plugs, terminated 3 service taps and 18 new service taps completed.

There were 68 hours of in-house safety training. Safety topics were on electrical safety and chlorine safety. What is a KPI? Severn Trent finds that awareness of our surroundings is a key to promoting safety. Each month, each employee is to find a condition - whether at work Monthly Report Page 3

Taking immediate corrective action is an important step in this process, and this is one of the ways we prevent potential accidents.
