1. Authority agrees to design and construct a new water main pipeline("New Water Main")
from at or near the terminus of the Existing Water Main generally to a point on
Authority's property, ("End Point"), which is in the vicinity of M&G's property and the
Authority's Oil Dock 14 site on the north side of the Viola Channel, a length of
approximately 14,256 linear feet. The beginning point, End Point, and proposed
alignment of the New Water Main are shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. Authority further agrees to provide design,
construction, and any required permitting and land acquisition for the New Water Main
at no cost to the City.

Main will be constructed of 12-inch and 16-inch nominal diameter PVC pipe conforming
to the American Water Works Association (AWWA) C900 and AWWA C905
specifications and will be buried at least 36-inches below ground, except where the
pipeline crosses existing drainage features, in which case the New Water Main may be
constructed above ground.
4. The City will be provided access to the New Water Main during construction to conduct
inspection, as deemed appropriate by the City to confirm that the construction is in
accordance with applicable City Codes and requirements.

Background
The "Unidirectional Flushing Program" began in 2008 in the City of Corpus Christi. The
process of flushing fire hydrants is an important preventive maintenance activity.
Although it may appear to waste water, this process is part of a routine maintenance
program necessary to maintain the integrity of the water system and to continue to deliver
the highest quality water possible to our customers.
Flushing is a process by which water is moved through a water pipe at a high velocity so
that a scouring action is created. Water is then discharged through a fire hydrant which in
turn removes any material build-up from the pipe. The material removed from the process
is harmless and requires no special treatment.
Flushing is generally done around areas known as DEMs (dead-end-mains) and CDSs
(cul-de-sacs). This is because the water that goes into these mains has no exit point and
can contribute to water quality issues. Periodic flushing of water pipes removes mineral
deposits that may build up in underground pipes. Buildup can contribute to corrosion and
water color problems if we do not facilitate the removal of excess water.
Flushing can help in many different ways other than the removal of sediments from
mainline pipes, flushing can also verify the proper operation of fire hydrants and valves,
help find weaknesses in the water system, check for closed valves and weak flows in the
water mains, and also verify ample flow for fire fighting purposes.
Should customers notice a reddish, yellow or brown tint in the water, please
recommended that they not use the water or do laundry for about two hours. After that
point they can run their faucets for a few minutes to make sure the water is clear at which
time they can resume normal water use. Explain to them that if the water does not clear
within 1 hour,they can notify the City Call Center at(361) 826-2489.

8. Flush hydrant to clear stagnant/dirty water collected inside the barrel. If this takes
more than 30 minutes, call the flushing coordinator for further instructions.
9. Collect water sample for"Start" Total chlorine test, as per Total Chlorine Testing
SOP.
10. Measure total chlorine residual using the pocket colorimeter and record the
sample collection time and total chlorine residual results in DEM pre-filled sheet.
11. If the starting total chlorine residual is greater than 1.5 mg/L, slowly close the
hydrant valve and record the `Finished" time on the pre-filled sheet. Do not
collect and measure second total chlorine residual.

- If the starting chlorine residual is less than 1.5 mg/L, continue flushing and
measuring the total chlorine residual until a value of 1.5 mg/L or greater is
achieved. Be sure to record all additional sample collection times and total
chlorine residual results in the pre-filled sheet. If after flushing for 30 minutes,
the chlorine residual is still less than 1.5 mg/L, call the flushing coordinator for
further instructions.
12.After the chlorine test is completed, close valve slowly to avoid a water hammer.
Remove the diffuser hose from the truck and hydrant and stow the hose in the city
truck. Replace the hydrant cap.

Operation & Use of Oakton Instruments pH Tester 30 pH
Meter
SOP# WQ-004.01
Date: 7/22/2008
Author: Bruce Short
The Oakton Instruments pH Tester 30 pH meter is used for field measurements of both
pH and temperature of water. The instrument measures pH in ±0.01 pH units, and
temperature in ±0.1 °C or °F. Using the built in temperature sensor, any change in
temperature is compensated to give the actual pH reading of the sample tested.
Before use, the pH tester's electrode must be conditioned by immersing the probe in tap
water or electrode storage solution for at least 30 minutes. This is normally
accomplished by keeping the sponge insert inside the instrument's protective storage cap
moistened with tap water. Do Not Use De-ionized Water!
pH Calibration: The Oakton Instruments pH Tester 30 pH meters should be calibrated
daily before use. Additionally, re-calibrate the instrument whenever batteries are
changed, or the electrode replaced.
Daily Calibration will be conducted using pH buffers at pH 4.0, 7.0, and 10.0. After this
three point calibration, a performance check will be conducted by measuring and
recording the reading of a pH 8.0 buffer.
Stepwise Calibration Procedure
1. Press ON/OFF button to switch the unit on.
2. Dip the electrode about 2 to 3 cm into the pH 4 buffer solution and press
the 'CAL' button. The upper display will show the measured reading
based on the last calibration, while the lower display should indicate
which pH buffer solution is being used.
3. Allow the upper display reading to stabilize then press the HOLD/ENT
button to confirm the first calibration point. The upper display will be
calibrated to the pH standard buffer solution. Record this value in the
appropriate section of the Daily pH Meter Calibration Log.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for pH 7.0 buffer, then pH 10.0 buffer. Rinse the
electrode in tap water between buffers.
5. After completing the calibration with the three buffers as described above,
the meter will automatically return to the measure mode. Using the
22
procedure below for pH measurement, measure and record the value for a
pH 8.0 buffer on the Daily pH Meter Calibration Log.
Stepwise Procedure for pH Measurements
1. Press ON/OFF button to switch the unit on.
2. Dip the electrode about 2 to 3 cm into the test solution. Stir and let the
reading stabilize.
3. Note the pH value or press HOLD/ENT button to freeze the reading. To
release the reading,press HOLD/ENT again.
4. Press ON/OFF to turn off tester. If you do not press a button for 8.5
minutes, the tester will automatically shut off to conserve batteries.

EXHIBIT C
ATTACHMENT
Monthly Performance Evaluation
At the end of every month an analysis will take place to evaluate DEM performance.
Performance is defined as the "ability of a DEM to maintain certain chlorine residual
from flushing cycle to flushing cycle".
The following methodology will be used to evaluate DEM performance on a monthly
basis. This methodology is based on"start" TRC readings.
How a DEM moves `down'a flushing group
One "bad" reading will cause a DEM to automatically fall down to the flushing group
that corresponds to that reading (see diagram below). A DEM may drop more than one
flushing group. When the TRC reading is below 1.0 mg/L the DEM will automatically
fall to the Twice a month flushing group.
1 reading<3mg/L 1 reading<2mg/L 1 reading<lmg/L
Every 3 months Every 2 months Once a month Twice a month
• I I
3.0 mg/1 2.0 mg/1 1.0 mg/1
How a DEM moves `up,a flushing group
One "good" reading will not cause a DEM to automatically move up to a higher flushing
group. Instead, a DEM will need a series of sequential "good" readings logged before it
can be moved up a level
Requirements for DEM promotion for each flushing frequency group:
To move up to the Every 3 months flushing group:
Requirement: DEM has 2 consecutive readings above 3.0 mg/1 while in the Every 2
months group.
To move up to the Every 2 months flushing group:
Requirement: DEM has 4 consecutive readings above 2.0 mg/1 while in the Once a
month group.
To move up to the Once a month flushing group:
Requirement: DEM has 8 consecutive readings above 1.0 mg/1 while in the Twice a
month group.
All these requirements add up to 4 months of"good" readings before a DEM can
advance to a more lenient flushing group.

Examples of how a DEM can move between flushing groups.
This example illustrates how a DEM can "drop" to a lower flushing group and then
"move up" to a higher flushing group; including corresponding good reading counts

above 1.0 mg/L to move up to the Once a month flushing group.
3. Assume DEM #1212 obtains readings above 1.0 mg/L for the next 4 consecutive
months. Now, DEM #1212 goes back to the Once a month flushing group and
the next flushing operation will be scheduled for Mar 12 Batch 1.
