OC San relevant standard – 2.1 sewer spills per 100 miles
Collections goal – 0 spills
Our Goal - Prevent Sewer Spills
Board approved relevant standard. Where did the 2.1 come from? An approach to comply with the 2006 Statewide Sanitary Sewer System General Order, up for renewal this year.
SSS WDRs require an SSMP
Although no spills are permitted, they can happen. A benchmark was developed to drive down spill rates and align with the General Order
SSMP drives our cleaning, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement approach
Also requires a source control program for FOG and source constituent monitoring
Employing these efforts will ensure we can achieve system resiliency to the greatest extent possible

Effective Maintenance

Preventative Maintenance
35
There are different types of maintenance and one of those is preventative.
Preventive maintenance (PM) is the regular and routine maintenance of equipment and assets in order to keep them running and prevent any costly unplanned downtime from unexpected equipment
failure.
A successful maintenance strategy requires planning and scheduling maintenance of equipment before a problem occurs.
In these photos you can see our maintenance team conducting preventative maintenance procedures to our Hydraulic Pressure Units on the left and generators on the right. This work is
regular schedule maintenance based off the manufacture's specification.
Corrective Maintenance
36
Another type of maintenance is corrective maintenance.
Corrective maintenance involves the replacement or repair of equipment after it fails.
In response to equipment failure, corrective maintenance tasks identify the failure and rectify the failure so that the equipment can be reinstated, and the facility production restored.
Here is and example of corrective maintenance being done by our mechanical team replacing a pump in the left and a gas compressor cylinder on the right.
Corrective maintenance is an unplanned event such as a burst pipe or planned event such as end of equipment life expectancy.
Precision Maintenance – Laser Alignment
Accurate Alignment
Increase Operating Life Span of Rotating Machinery
37
Our team is trained to perform precision maintenance and we embrace technologies that will prolong the life of our assets.
Laser alignment is one of these technologies.
The primary objective of accurate alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery.
Predictive Maintenance
38
OC San maintenance also takes a proactive approach to maintenance, meaning we strategize to correct the root causes of failure and avoid breakdowns caused by underlying equipment conditions.
In a predictive or condition-based maintenance environment, the goal is to find some way to
determine machine condition, and then make maintenance decisions based on condition rather
than some arbitrary time period. There are a variety of technologies and techniques available for
this process, to detect the early signs of failure.
You can look at this advanced process like changing the oil in your car. The auto makers used to recommend a milage to determine when you change your oil. Now some newer vehicles have
technologies that can analyze the oil and let you know when to change it based on its actual condition and not just a milage.

Communications Department Responsibilities

This department is responsible for:
GM Support such as organizational communications on behalf of the general manager, assisting with strategic planning, forecasting based on industry efforts, and establishing a communications
plan for changes, advocacy efforts and talking points or presentations for various events, and meetings.
Board Services – which as our board members, you’ll probably have the most interaction with. We have a team of seven which includes our Clerk of the Board and supervisor for the division,
Kelly Lore, which all of you know and our two assistant clerks Jackie Castro and Tina Knapp. During our next session of the orientation, you’ll hear more about this division as it relates
to the various information they are responsible for maintaining to support you in your roles such as calendars, legislative actions, permanent records, trainings, and all of the other
fun stuff that goes along with the role of “clerk of the board” – very similar to your agency or city clerk. For tonight, a few areas that I wanted to mention that this team is also
responsible for, is the agencies mail room – for all incoming and outgoing mail for OC San, the agencies public records and this team serves as the receptionist and conference room
coordinators for the Headquarters. As mentioned, you’ll hear more about the services from this team at our next session.
Now for Public Affairs – this team of eight, they are basically a full service in house PR firm.
