Distribution Maintenance Rainfall in March resulted in the operation of an emergency wet weather overflow valves in the Central City, Northern Beaches, and Babinda catchments. Details are as follows: - 24 pump stations were in high-level alarm at various stages due to the rainfall.

Activation of the respective wet weather overflows were required to prevent sewage surcharge onto private property. Babinda was the worst affected with overflow systems surcharging intermittently from the 11/03/05 until the 19/03/05.

- The Marlin Coast, Northern, and Southern Treatment Plants were placed on wet

weather operational procedures from the 11/03/05 until the 15/03/05 to cope with the added hydraulic loading caused during the high rainfall period. Activation of the emergency overflow from the Southern Plant lagoons was also required due to increased hydraulic flows.

Other Maintenance Works

- The planned mechanical and electrical preventative maintenance program continued during March.

- Interruption to Ergon’s mains power supplies throughout the city was the major cause of after hour’s call-out activity in March.

- External painting of pump buildings at stations’ A, B, E, F, and Kate Street began during March.

- Rising main alterations in Trinity Park to cater for the Bluewater Development was undertaken during this period.

- 28/03/05 - A minor sewage surcharge occurred onto private property due to a pump station failure at Fuller Park Edmonton. A failed PLC was the cause of the problem. No environmental damage resulted from the surcharge.

- 8 house connections (jump-ups) were repaired by maintenance crews during the month. Tree roots within these jump-ups have been the cause of repeated blockages in recent months.

Cairns Water attended to eighteen (18) sewer blockages during March.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT Sewage Treatment is an Environmentally Relevant Activity (ERA) under the Environmental Protection Act (1994) and therefore requires an Environmental Authority (licence) which is issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The licence, which was issued on 25 June 1997 and last amended on November 2001, sets out specific performance criteria for each Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Performance graphs for each of the six (6) wastewater treatment plants are shown at Graph 3 – (a) to (f). Treatment Plant Flows and Rainfall Data (Flow is listed in mega-litres – Rainfall in mm)

25th March 2005

In order for Council to adequately determine the efficiency, effectiveness and stability of Cairns Water, financial statements have been developed. Financial statements help by providing the Council with a snapshot of the organisation, however, the statements by themselves do not provide information on itemssuch as:

Is the organisation controlling expenditure?Are debtors tightly controlled?Are we avoiding a liquidity crisis? - eg are funds available for unforseen eventsAre we meeting financial targets?

Measures of Efficiency and ProfitabilityMeasures of Financial Stability

Measures of Efficiency and Profitability

Measures of efficiency and profitability are relative measures. Efficiency is a relationship between somemeasure of output and a measure of input. For example Cairns Water may have a revenue of $18M andfull time equivalent staff (FTE) of 168, the measure of profitabilit in this case is 0.1M per FTE.

A measure of efficiency also is a relationship between an output and measure of input. Return on Equity isconsidered a classical measure of efficiency. As a general rule it is expected that returns would be higherthan those returns experienced in the market place from financial institutions or equivalent.

Measures of Financial Stability

Measures of financial stability are designed in two categories, generally short and long term. An exampleof short term financial stability is the working capital ratio. Such a ratio depicts the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. If current liabilities exceed current assets then it could be arguedthat the organisation is financially unstable in the short term. In many industries a general "rule" of two toone is used.

Long term measures are indicators of financial stability. A common ratio is the debt / equity ratio. This iscalculated as total debt funds represented by liabilities over total equity funds. This is a particularly usefulmeasure as it can indicate the level of risk the organisation may face if there is a high debt / equity component.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT REPORT - MARCH 2005 Ian Clayton:JEA:24/12/1-04: #979350

RECOMMENDATION:


INTRODUCTION: Under the adopted Integrated Environmental Management System, a monthly Environmental Management report is to be prepared for the consideration of Council.

BACKGROUND: During the month of March three (3) incidents were recorded and reported. It should also be noted that twenty-five (25) wet weather overflow events were reported, as a result of heavy seasonal rainfall. 1. Loss of Power to Northern Wastewater Treatment Plant during 6 March 2005

On Sunday 6 March 2005 at approximately 0800 hours, power was disrupted to the Northern Wastewater Treatment Plant. It was discovered that a vehicle accident had resulted in urgent Ergon repairs. The primary generator was then engaged and normal operational works continued at the treatment plant site. At 0915 hours, mains power was restored, and the generator was shut down. During this time, waste activated sludge was being drawn from the oxidation ditch, and a high level alarm indicated a pump failure. Inspection revealed that a circuit breaker had activated. Operational procedure called for an electrical inspection prior to power reinstatement. This was immediately carried out, and power to the pump was restored. No evidence of any waste activated sludge release to the environment could be found.


46

2. Overflow of Treated Effluent from Lagoons at The Southern Wastewater

Treatment Plant during 11 March 2005

As a result of high seasonal rainfall substantially increasing hydraulic flow during 11 March 2005, a release of treated effluent occurred from the storage lagoons. This has occurred previously, and is the consequence of the outfall pumps being incapable of matching the incoming hydraulic flows. Programmed upgrades of this treatment plant should rectify this issue.

3. Hydraulic Failure of Clarifier #2 at Northern Wastewater Treatment Plant

during 12 March 2005.

As a result of high seasonal rainfall substantially increasing hydraulic flow during 12 March 2005, hydraulic failure of #2 Clarifier occurred. Hydraulic failure caused the sludge blanket to rise, releasing solids into the contact chamber. Emergent operational procedures were put into place, which minimized the time of occurrence, and allowed containment of bacterial sludge within the contact chamber. Samples were then collected for laboratory analysis.

Test Result (mg/l) BOD 18 Suspended Solids 48

Due to effective operational procedures, only a small increase in effluent strength was

observed. 4. Wet Weather Overflows

COPPERLODE FALLS DAM - YEARLY INSPECTION Brian Smyth:JEA: 24/13/1-02: #979675

RECOMMENDATION:


BACKGROUND: The yearly inspection of Copperlode Falls Dam was recently undertaken by a senior dam hydrologist.

REPORT: The purpose of the inspection was to: a. Review the status of the access road drainage at the embankment toe and make

recommendations for any potential improvements. b. Inspect the crest wall and make recommendations after further analysis as to the

best means of raising the wall to allow the spillway to pass the Probable Maximum Flood determined in the GHD report entitled “Copperlode Falls Dam Probable Maximum Flood Revision, Hydrological and Hydraulic Modelling Results”.

c. Evaluate whether any potential safety issues have arisen due to the construction

of the access road and make recommendations for any improvements necessary to ensure the safety of the dam.

The inspection has made certain recommendations in respect of minor works in the outlet tunnel and some minor drainage works on the downstream face of the dam wall. In respect of the existing wave wall, the inspection has resulted in advice being given that the design of the wave wall should be re-assessed to provide a factor of safety of 1.5 under the highest flood level. Present studies of cyclonic conditions at the Ross River Dam in Townsville indicate that high wind speeds may occur coincidentally with high rainfall. This could have consequences given the relatively short critical storm duration at Copperlode falls Dam at the Probable Maximum Flood of six (6) hours.


54

The wave overtopping flows resulting from the combined wind and reservoir level can lead to significant depths and discharges over the embankment crest with the potential for back erosion through the crest and embankment breach. Cognisance of the wave overtopping flow and hydrograph for the critical storm duration should, therefore, be taken in finalising the required wave wall height necessary for safely passing the spillway design flood. It is proposed that: 1. The minor works as required by the inspection proceed. 2. The wave wall re-design be now undertaken with a view to including any

modifications in the 2005/2006 capital works budget. BJ SMYTH GENERAL MANAGER CAIRNS WATER

MULTI-OCCUPANCY KERBSIDE RECYCLING Michael Marshall:MM: 18/57/1-03: #980591

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that this report be noted

INTRODUCTION: With the imminent completion of the new Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) at the old Portsmith landfill site (completion scheduled for early July), Cairns Water Waste Services is preparing to target multi-occupancy dwellings that currently do not recycle at kerbside.

BACKGROUND: Kerbside recycling at multi-occupancy dwellings is currently limited due to a number of factors. One of the more prominent reasons being that many of these properties were constructed pre kerbside recycling and as such don’t have the storage capacity for additional bins, another major factor has been the reluctance of multi-occupancy owners to participate in kerbside recycling due to high level of contamination experienced when they have previously participated. These issues have never really been addressed fully as Council has not had the required capacity to process recyclables at the volumes which could be expected from fully involving multi-occupancy dwellings.

COMMENT: With Council soon to have the ability to more than double its processing capacity, it is now an opportune time to target multi-occupancy dwellings and provide a full suite of options for service delivery, including flexible collection days, bin sizes which suit each individual premises and a high level of eduction aimed at getting the best possible product with minimal contamination levels.


64

CONSIDERATIONS: Corporate and Operational Plans: There will be no effect on operational plans as this increase in service provision is already within the scope of Waste Services contract management. Waste Services waste strategy is currently being updated to reflect this increase in multi-occupancy recycling and the to include details of the new MRF and its functions. Statutory: The only statutory issues related to this issue is that Council is required to make the service available to all ratepayers which pay the full domestic waste management charge incorporated within their rates. This provision of service achieves that objective. Financial: There are no financial implications, as these services will be covered by the domestic waste management charge on a pure cost for service basis. Sustainability: The increase in recycling volumes generated through multi-occupancy participation offers strong sustainability in the area of the waste hierarchy, which has waste reuse and recycling as a fundamental element of achieving long-term sustainability in the waste generation sector.

CONSULTATION: The consultation process will encompass Council officers making direct contact with strata owners and property managers and developing individual recycling collection systems which best suit each property within the confines of Council’s recycling collection contract. Cairns Water Business Advisory Officer has drafted a Council media release in conjunction with the letter of invitation to take up the recycling service. This media release will be issued in conjunction with Council’s PR Manager.

OPTIONS: 1. Proceed with proposed increase to multi-occupancy recycling volumes as outlined

above. 2. Do not proceed to promote and target multi-occupancy dwellings and continue to

allow these properties to only dispose of waste. This is not preferred as it is not in line with the waste hierarchy, is not conducive to sound sustainable practices by householders and is contrary to Councils aim of waste minimisation.


65

CONCLUSION: Option 1 offers a sustainable and viable long-term process for recovering the maximum volume of recyclable material. There is the added incentive of potential revenue from the subsequent sale of the processed product.

{Enter "Date"} {Enter "Company"} {Enter "Address"} {Enter "Suburb"} Dear Sir/Madam

New Recycling Service for Multi-Occupancy Properties Construction has begun on a new recycling Material Recovery Facility (MRF) for the City of Cairns. The new plant will be able to process an increased volume of recyclable material collected from the kerbside. To gain an increase in recycling volumes, Council is targeting multi-occupancy properties, which currently do not recycle at the kerbside. To enable multi-occupancy properties to participate in the kerbside recycling service, Council has developed a special site specific recycling system, this will allow for the opportunity for a Council Officer to meet with a property/body corporate representative on-site to discuss the specific recycling requirements for each individual property. Council is able to offer the following options:

240 litre bin collection 360 litre bin collection Bulk bin collection Multiple weekly recycling collections if bin storage capacity is limited.

Councils recycling system allows for the collection of plastics 1, 2 and 3, glass, steel cans and tins and aluminum cans. For the opportunity to assist in increasing Cairns City Council’s recycling volumes and reduce waste at your premises, please contact Cairns Water Officer Mr Fenn Hughes on 4044 8226 as soon as possible to arrange an on-site meeting to assess your specific recycling requirements. Please note that there is no additional charge for this recycling service. If you are already using the kerbside recycle service at your multi-occupancy property, please disregard this letter. Yours faithfully
