JUNE 2009

• On June 16, 2009 the commissioners heard a presentation from Montgomery County Water Services entitled "Unaccounted for Water and Leak Detection 2009."   While a 10-20% allowance for unaccounted-for water use is normal, in 2007 lost water for the southern system was at 19.2% or approximately 3.8 million gallons and a cost of $4,850 per day.   Water can be unaccounted-for due to unauthorized unmetered usage (loss from fire hydrants on construction sites, or unauthorized bypassing of meters on services) or inaccurate metering.   It can also be the result of system leakage or fire hydrant leaks.  In 2008 the department adopted a program to right size meters, account for construction site theft, and most importantly detect leaks.   By dealing with leaks as they are discovered we can minimize lost water, minimize operating costs, minimize restoration costs, minimize the amount of time our customers are inconvenienced and lower the potential amount of claims to be filed as a result of a small leak becoming much more.
• On June 9, 2009, Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park Superintendent Dean Alexander provided an overview of the various units that make up the park.  The mission of the Dayton Aviation Heritage National Historical Park is to preserve, enhance and interpret the historic and cultural structures, districts and artifacts associated with the Wright Brothers, the invention and development of aviation, and the life and works of Paul Laurence Dunbar through the creation of partnerships.  They work closely alongside Federal, state, local and private partners to accomplish their mission, and maintain close, positive relationships with our communities, area businesses, local citizens and many friends of the park.  He identified and described the many facilities around the region that help us appreciate and learn about our exciting history.   He invited the commissioners to attend several upcoming events.   Residents can call 225-7705 for more information about the park and the events.
