PUBLIC SERVICES: WATER & SEWER (SSRUS) YEYAERAR20210818 5 KEY AREAS SMOKE-TESTED AND 10 REPAIRS The City has experienced significant improvement in identifying areas of inflow and infiltration in the sewersystem. The success is credited to additional training and resources. Inflow and infiltration are defined asstormwater that breaches the sanitary sewer system through damaged pipes and manholes or throughillegal connections to the system. By introducing a harmless smoke into the sewer system, these problemareas become apparent. Stormwater in the sanitary system increases treatment costs to the customer andthe threat of an environmental spill when the system is overwhelmed by stormwater.Areas that underwent smoke-tests include Bay Street, Gondolier Boulevard, Woodlawn Heights, Tall Pineand Soundview Trails and the Deer Point area.PENSACOLA BAYBRIDGE WATER MAINRELOCATION PROJECT With the construction of the newPensacola Bay Bridge, the City wasrequired to relocate water utilities onthe south landing side.

PUBLIC SERVICES: STREETS & STORMWATER YEAR 2018 Traffic Safety and Calming Work Group (TSCWG) The City Manager created an interdepartmental working group to evaluate citizen concerns for traffic safety with regards to speed and reckless driving. The goal of the group is to determine the extent of the problems reported by citizens and the feasible actions that may be taken to alleviate the issues without unduly impeding the free flow of traffic. The group consists of representatives from the Police, Public Services, and Community Services Departments and meets monthly. Citizens can report issues through a questionnaire on the City's website at http://cityofgulfbreeze.us/report-a-residential-traffic-issue. Replaced one traffic signal controller and installed a new monitoring system for all signals on Gulf Breeze Parkway The City installed a new traffic signal controller for the signal at Fairpoint and Gulf Breeze Parkway. The new controller allows more flexibility in the operation of the signal and the installation of the monitoring system. The new Miovision monitoring system was installed on a trial basis in conjunction with Escambia County. The system allows staff to monitor the signals remotely and includes alarm notifications for problems like a power failure. NPDES The City complies with a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) legislation. The focus of the permit is education on allowable discharges to the storm sewer system and monitoring and elimination of illicit discharges. The 2018 audit for the NPDES Stormwater Permit identified only one significant issue which was that the City's current ordinance did not address illicit discharges and adequate enforcement. Staff promptly developed an ordinance that the City Council enacted, with no further action required. The MS4 permit was renewed for a fourth five-year term.56
