Filter 2 maintenance and assssment

June 1, 2026

Filter 2 is out of service for maintenance. The maintenance and assessment
procedure of Filter 2 will take the remainder of the week. Filter 2 “Return to Service” date is expected Friday, June 4 /Monday, June 7.
The maintenance and assessment of filter 2 to include:
 1-2” of media removal (1200ft2)
 Excavation pits (minimum 3): identify location and extent of:
o Mottling
o Hardpan
o Deposition (if any)
o Location and thickness of support media.
o Filter fabric integrity and permeability. (percolation testing)
o Filter profile depth (30 locations)
 Filter to waste: at least one full filter volume and/or NTU < 1.0.
 Media analysis: NO, filter 1 was collected and sampled.

Filter 1 maintenance and assessment:
May 18 through May 23, 2026.

Filter 1 was maintained and assessed during the week of May 18, 2026. Media samples were collected and sent to Hawk Mountain Laboratories for analysis. SWCMA & SMA are still awaiting results. A full filter 1 assessment report will be provided upon media analysis results.

Filter 1: Post Maintenance

Production:
SWCMA staff removed the top 1-2” of sand from the filter bed. The top of the filter captures most solids and turbidity from the source water. Over time the filter begins to plug and bind if the solids captured on top of the media are not removed.  Filter 1 production capability was restored once the upper portion of the filter was removed.  Filter 1 production capabilities currently are 64 GPM (permitted rate).

Water Quality (Turbidity):
Following the May 18 maintenance event, Filter 1 was refilled and placed into
service. Production capabilities were immediately restored. Filtered flows from
filter 1 now achieve the design rates of 64+ gpm. Turbidity (clarity of water) readings have slowly improved since Filter 1 was placed into service. Operators expect continued turbidity improvement once adjacent filters are maintained.
Boil Water Advisory: SWCMA remains under a boil water advisory despite the overall conditions of the water system improving. Operators expect to petition the state to remove the boil water advisory following filter 2 maintenance.
Customer Demand: The SWCMA system continues to have unknown leaks. SWCMA should continue to look for and locate water main leaks. System water losses remain elevated.

"TIDIOUTE"

In the Pennsylvania mountains where the owlets flit and hoot;

lies a pretty little village by the name of Tidioute.

When I first heard it mentioned I wrinkled up my snoot,

and laughed both long and loudly at the name of Tidioute.

But I feel that I was foolish and rather rude to boot,

to vent my raucous laughter on the name of Tidioute.

For the Pennsylvania mountains murmur like a lute,

and it means "The Place of Beauty" --

does the name of "Tidioute".
