Wednesday December 11, 2013

Time: 8:00 am Registration; 8:30 am - 11:30 am training
Place: Aqua Resort Club
Agenda
Current Events
speaker: Derek Chambers

Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)
Derek gave a brief overview of the damage caused by typhoon Yolanda last month in the Philippines.  
Picture
Cook Island Water System
speaker: Larry Manacop

Larry traveled to the Cook Islands in November for the Pacific Utility Conference.  While there he had a chance to visit one of the water systems on the island.  Larry showed some photos and videos of the water system.
Water Demand Issues
speaker: Larry Manacop

While at the Pacific Utility Conference in Cook Islands, Larry gave a presentation on water demand issues.  He shared that presentation with us.  Larry showed that CUC has 70% non-revenue water (there is 70% of CUC water unaccounted for).  American Samoa is similar.  Other Pacific Islands have lower non-revenue water, but are still higher than the Pacific Islands benchmark which is 25%.
Military Reverse Osmosis on Tinian
speaker: GYSGT Anderson, USMC

There is currently a military training exercise happening on Tinian.  As part of the exercise, the US Marian Corps has deployed a reverse osmosis water treatment unit to make fresh water from sea water for the troops stationed on Tinian.  The treatment unit is located near the harbor in San Jose, and the troops are further north at the airport and North Field.  GYSGT Anderson who is chief of utilities for the exercise, came to Saipan today to describe how his equipment operates.

Safe Drinking Water Program Updates
speaker: Joe Kaipat, SDW Program Manager at DEQ

Joe provided the attendees with a brief update about potential training sponsored by USEPA that is scheduled for next year sometime in March.  There is an opportunity for attendees to select topics to be covered, so Joe will be sending out a survey form.  The training will be conducted by the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service.
Calcium Hypochlorite
speaker: Lonza

Representatives from Lonza spoke about alternatives to gas and sodium hypochlorite - calcium hypochlorite.  They discussed the importance of chlorination and the advantages/disadvantages of calcium hypochlorite.
