ITEM 6: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE 1999
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE REPORT AND AUTHORIZATION FOR THE
CHAIR TO EXECUTE THE DOCUMENT.
Mr Roberts said that beginning in 1999, owners of community water systems serving at least 25
residents year round are required to prepare and distribute an annual Consumer Confidence
Report to provide consumers information regarding the sources and quality of their drinking
water. This right -to -know requirement is a part of the 1996 amendment to the Federal Safe
Drinking Water Act. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published the final CCR rule
on August 19, 1998, establishing the requirements for the report's content, format, and
distribution elements. Water customers must receive a copy of this report by October 19, 1999,
and the report must be forwarded to the DEQ by the same date. A Certificate of Completion and
Distribution must be submitted to DEQ by January 19, 2000. The report has been distributed to
water customers and DEQ as required and staff requested that the Chair be authorized to execute
the Certificate. Ms Voss moved, seconded by Dr Bode, to authorize the Chair to execute the
Certificate of Completion and Distribution of the 1999 Consumer Confidence Report as required.

ITEM 7: CONSIDERATION AND APPROPRIATE ACTION RELATING TO A REQUEST
TO AWARD A CONTRACT FOR THE PURCHASE OF WATER METERS.
Mr Roberts presented the item. Each year the OPWA purchases water meters for installation in
the OPWA system. The meters are purchased through the bidding process. Specifications were
developed and bids were first advertised on September 16, 1999. Bid packets were also mailed
to five potential vendors. One bid was received and opened on October 7, 1999. That bid was
from Water Products of Oklahoma, who has also been the successful bidder on meter contract
awards in previous years. The unit price for meters has increased slightly over the 1998-99 fiscal
year. Mr Williams moved, seconded by Ms Voss, to award a contract to Water products of
Oklahoma Inc, Owasso, Ok, for the purchase of water meters consistent with bid specifications
at a cost of $91.50 per 518" x 3/4" meter, $152.00 per V meter, $278.00 per 1'/,_" meter, and
$375.00 per 2" meter.
