Department: I Attachments: Auburn Manor Budget Impact:
Finance correspondence
Administrative Recommendation:
City Council approve sewer utility adjustment to account number 34205, Auburn Manor, in the amount of
$121,077.07.
Background Summary:
Auburn Manor has had several line leaks including leaks within each mobile home unit. In addition, they
had a malfunctioning meter which led to estimated usage. They have repaired all line leaks and those
within each home, and have conducted a water system leak evaluation with an outside company which
has determined all leaks have been repaired. In addition, a new meter has been installed. They are
appealing through the process for additional sewer utility adjustment for past sewer and Metro charges
paid of $27,910.92 for City sewer service and $93,166.15 of Metro charges.

Re: Auburn Manor Mobile Home Park - Repair of Water Leaks
Dear Ms. Coleman:
Regarding Auburn Manor's request for a sewer leakage refund from King County Metro,
you indicated in March 31, 2006 correspondence to me:
You have stated that the park owners will correct the leakages noted on the
December 20,2005, Leak Detective's report. With documented proof that all the
required repairs have been made, we may then present your case back to the
Public Works Committee for consideration'ofa City sewer refund....
I am pleased to inform you that all the leaks in the Park have been repaired. Attached is
the December 20, 2005, The Leak Detectives report identifying main line, supplying side, and
occupant side leaks.
In response to this report, attached is a description of the water leaks corrective action,
dated June 1, 2006, from Keith Paasch, Park Manager, describing that all the leaks have been
repaired. This fact is confmned by a second professional water leak detection survey of the Park
conducted by the Hughes Water and Sewer Utility Service Group reported on May 17,2006,
(attached).

You will note in the Hughes Report that on February 27, 2006, they conducted a survey
to verify the findings of The Leak Detectives report. They identified three additional leaks.
Hughes May 12, 2006, follow-up document determined that the previously identified leaks were
repaired. The report states: .
The rmding of the fe-survey is that no leak noise was detected on any of the sites
surveyed. We believe that all major le~(s) have been located ~d repaired.
Not only have all the December 20, 2005, identified leaks been repaired, but Auburn
Manor management has gone beyond this standard in identifying and repairing newly identified
leaks.
With Auburn Manor providing the requested documented proof, we are requesting that
the City of Auburn proceed with the process for obtaining a sewer refund.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Re: Auburn Manor Mobile Home Park Water/Sewer Billings
Dear Mr. Woodring:,
, At the. February 27 Public, Works Committee meeting~ staff presented an update, on your
utility account., The committee, reviewed the last correspondence to you on February 14~
2006; they were, briefed on King County Metro's receptiveness to, an adjustment; and
reviewed engineering's, analysis on the leakage.
I am enclosing a copy of the leak analysis prepared by the City Utility Engineer. The bottom
line, is, that approximately 33.3% of the leakage went into the sewer and the remainder went
into the, ground. , Based on those percentages, the City calculates, a potential refund of
approximately $27,910 for the, city sewer and $93,165 for King County Metro., Please. refer
to. the 'summary ofbillings~ sheet provided to yo.u as an attachment to. our letter to you dated
December 28, 2005., A1i noted in o.ur previous letter dated February 14,2006, Metro'a1ld the
City require documentation that all the leaks have been repaired prior to. any adjustments.,. ,
We have also., submitted the first billing with the new water meter. The bill was dated
2/28/2006 with a reading of1588 ccf. The usage co.vers a period of23 days. The February
2001 reading which we have, been using for an estimate, was 2355 ccf. Please keep in mind
that covers, a 30 day read period verses, the 23. days. We will continue to monitor the, usage.
Please feel free, to contact me if you have any questions regarding this matter.,

Re: Auburn Manor Mobile Home Park Leakage Analysis
To help determine the outside leakage of the Auburn Manor Mobile Home Park the following
documents were reviewed:
+:+ Columbia Basin WaterWorks, Inc. Test Reports from May 2005 to August 1971.
+:. Mobile Home Park monthly consumption information for 2004 and the first quarter of
2005 developed by the Finance Department.
.:. Final Report of Park'waterline survey prepared by The Leak Detectives dated December
20, 2005. ."""-
The review of these documents showed:
.:. The meter was not functioning when tested on May 25, 2005 and was completely
rebuilt. I _
.:. The meter tested accurately in the years 2001-2004.
+:+ The ,Sfverage of three Mobile Home Parks showed consumptioh 72.6 hundred cubic
feet (CCF) per year per u_nit based 011 water sales~__
.:. The average unit in the A~~urn Manor Park used 468:45 CCt=' based on 'water sales.
+:. Assuming the three park ave~age is a valid consumption.rate for a typical unit, the
water lost at Auburn Manor in 2004 was 395:85 CCF Rer un'it, or 49,877 CCF
annually or 37,308,203 gallons annu<;llly. The resulting -leakage rate is 71 gallons per
minute for the Park. _
+:. The survey showed approximately 75 leaks resulting in an average leakage rate of
0.94 gallons per minute per leak.
.:. At the pressures at the Park, leakage of this magnitude would result from holes less
than 1/8 inch in diameter.
+:+ Soils in the area of the Park could absorb this magnitude of flows based on the
design flows for the 37th Street SE infiltration facility at M Street SE.
.:. The survey also showed that about two-thirds of the leaks were outside and not
going into the sewer system and the other third were jnside.
.:. The estimated annual outside leakage is therefore 33,252 CCF or 24,872,135
gallons. This should be the basis for any adjustment considered.
Attached you will find a spread sheet outlining the above Information. If you have any questions
please give me a sail at 5062.

Dear Keith:
This letter is to Jofonn )'OU that The lak Detectives bas completed dlo agreed upon task
which was Option tfJ of OW' origiaaI bid, ^, pet' our agreement of (ktober 20. 2ooS, we
, surveyed tbr leales at aU d1e vacant kmJ and the 6" AC water main. We physieally checked aU
mobiJ. hOOles by sni08 nndemeatla and shutting otTthe servico line valve$ to check for leaks
inside the mobile bomea as well as listening for possible outside seIV~ line leaks I:oming fi'om
the main line to the mobile hocnes. We woukllike to point om that thete ate, in actuality, 126
PIObilf homelt and 22 CIlIpIy lots m. the Park. Not t 14 and 13 IS we were told. We Also included
the oiDceIconunmlity bIIilding and spent coasiderable time searching for the 2110JHldstent Jots.
Included with this report you will find a Master Results report, an Occupant side teak
report, a Supply side leak report, a rr' AC Main Line leak. report, 811'''' _I, simplified iU8P with
aJt ICab marked and color coded. You will note that they list 46 leaks on the O4lt:upaot side of the
valve, DlOGtly tcalcy toilets and dripping faucets. Also are listed 17 leaks on the supply side of the
\'8I\re. N1UQ.ben 64 aod 66 are listed as UnBUnl because the valves are broken and, althoup leak

1'hcy are numbem 96, I 03,106. and 150. There are also Usted 121tab on the main line, 10 of
widell al'O all within a 16o-foot area. Please see the rr' AC Main Line leak report for furthet
infOl1lluloa. It should be noted that many of die valves on the east side are stuck ill the open
position or b!okea and need to be replaced.
We believo the AC pipe is in Je.latively good coodition. M8Il)' or tbe leaks nwked as OIl
tb~ main line DID: actually be on tbe suWly line to nearby mobile homes. Please see the attached
report fur complete det.alls.
As a long range solution to continued prob~s oftbis magnitude, we would recommend
redoing tb.e service lines to each mobile home site 8ftd il)stalli~ meters. EVM if you do not bill
tho occupants, it would jiw you a mIlCh more ~ reeord of water usage and would be much
4SlIier to nck do~ aod cor:reot fbM-e pIOblems when they occur.

6tt AC MAIN LINE LBAK REPORT
AUBURNMANORMHP
12120105
Leaks located on the main line mayor may not be actually on the main line. Out
instruments could have been picking up leak noise ftom the nearby trailer supply
, lines or the connection between tho two. In several instances our investigations at the
mobile homes in the immediate area show tbat to be a pOssibility. Below we have
tried to show the locations of leaks located on the main line and the nearby mobile
homes that bad an indication of a supply side leak. We feel it would be most efficient
to do further locate work on the suspicious supply Jines before digging up the main.
Leak #1 Starting at the valve for the hydrant on the SE comer of the communi1y
building (near #21) and heading south 15 f~ it is in front ofJl.28 and
marked with a blue "X" on the pavement. Medium leak.
Leak. #2 Starting at the valve for the hydrant on the SW eomer(near #60) and
heading north, there is Ii l6()..foot section that has multiple leak
soundings.
They are as follows: 84 feet, small
108 feet, medium
115 feet, small
122 f~ medium
143 feet, small
160 feet, 'smaU
164 feet, medium
195 feet, medium
206 feet, small
240 feet, medh.un
The small leaks are marked with a blue dot; the medium leaks are
marked with a blue &4X". Note: there are several mobile homes in this
area that show supply side leaks. It is possiblet as noted above, that
some or all of our main Une soundings in this area may be picking up tho
nearby supply line leaks.
Leak #3 Starting at the valve for the hydrant at the NE comer (near # 13) and
heading north toward the entrance 118 feet. Neat #9. Could be service
line to '# 1 O. Medium leak.
