SAMPLES AND PP
ORDINANCE FROM INCREASED RECEIPTS FOR
WATER TESTING SUPPLIES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached ordinance increasing the fee for bacteriological
analysis of water samples from $5 to $8. The fee increase will produce
an estimated $78,000 annually, which will offset the increased cost of
supplies. Revenues will be deposited in Fund, Account, Center-GGO1,
464684, 0501300; and
2. Adopt the attached supplemental appropriation ordinance increasing
estimated receipts and appropriations by $64,010 in General Fund GG01,
Center No. 0501300, Laboratory Services for the purpose of providing
funds to purchase the supplies necessary to perform the Presence/Absence
Test for total coliforms in public water system compliance samples.
DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of Health (TDH), Bureau of Environmental Health, Water
Hygiene Division, published the final rule regarding the Presence/Absence
Test for monitoring microbiological quality of community and non-community
public water systems (Texas Register, 15:3969-3976, July 13, 1990). The new
technique is recommended as the primary procedure in public health
laboratories in Texas for the determination of bacteriological quality in
drinking water to satisfy the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act.
This test is scheduled to go into effect as of January 1, 1991.
TDH, Bureau of Laboratories, is increasing their fee for bacteriological
testing to $8, effective November 15, 1990. Most of the other TDH affiliated
laboratories are increasing their fee to $8. At least two affiliated
laboratories are charging more than $8.
The cost of supplies and reagents to perform each Presence/Absence Test is
$2.94. These reagents and supplies will not be provided by the State. To
retain our current level of revenue, we must raise our fee to $8. Revenue
may increase overall as the number of samples run increases. The new
regulations require additional repeat samples when a test is positive.
