Mayor: Boil water advisory result of an accident
OBSERVER Photo by Nicole Gugino Dunkirk Mayor Willie Rosas explained Tuesday that last week’s water issues were due to an accident, not a faulty pipe.
Rosas said Tuesday at the Common Council meeting that he wanted to dispel rumors about the reason for the order.
It was an accident due to the contractor, they drilled a 9-inch hole into our pipe, one of the main pipes at the plant and that caused a very big leak at the plant, that was the root cause of the issue.
… I think this could have been a disaster, but we took care of it pretty nicely and professionally.” Department of Public Works Director Randy Woodbury also recognized the water treatment workers who dealt with the issue as quickly as possible.
Rosas said a temporary fix of the line was made by the contractor and also thanked Hill Engineer Gus Maas for helping the city to monitor the situation and Paul Snyder at the County Health Department providing insight on the process.
The contractor knows a more permanent fix must eventually be made, but Rosas said it will not hold up the North Chautauqua County Water District project.
Rosas noted this was a county order and therefore their responsibility to inform the public.
Resolution 41, a proposed local law on the sale of city-owned property, was amended and tabled for a public hearing on April 17 at 5:20 p.m. before the council meeting.
Communications from the public were also approved with contingencies placed on the request from WNY Renegades 12U Girls Travel Softball for more specific dates in July to avoid other field conflicts and the request for a water service from Debbie Carapella for requirements of the department of public works, the town of residence and the city treasurer’s review.

Real-time monitoring could decrease boil-water advisories on First Nations: study
‘This method can empower communities to regain control of their water systems,’ Guelph prof says A study by Ontario researchers suggests real-time monitoring technology at water treatment plants on reserves could significantly reduce the number of drinking-water advisories issued for First Nations across the country.
After analyzing such advisories and interviewing those who work on water treatment plants in several communities, the researchers suggest the number of advisories could be reduced by more than 36 per cent if real-time monitoring was implemented.
"I believe real-time monitoring is part of the solution to the water advisories on First Nations," McBean told The Canadian Press in an interview.
"Exactly how he’s going to try do that, I don’t know," McBean said.
"Across all Canadian communities, 78 per cent of boil-water advisories were issued on a precautionary basis due to problems with drinking water equipment or processes," the study says.
"Reliance upon real-time monitoring is an option for early identification of problems that can help to reduce both the frequency and duration of drinking-water advisories, and alert operators to problems about which they might not have been aware," said the research paper.
The study notes that some reserves have implemented real-time monitoring pilot projects.
One community member, according to the paper, noted: "I would be concerned about who has access to this information, how it might be used, and whether it would be used against (the community)."
And if the quality of the water going into the system is inadequate or the infrastructure is poor, real-time monitoring is irrelevant until those problems are first solved, McBean said.
McBean acknowledged that his suggestion of real-time monitoring was one part of the solution but noted that eliminating boil-water advisories is essential, whether it’s by 2021 as Trudeau has promised, or at a later date.
