Transcript Partial transcript

Machine transcription of this recording. The words are the recognizer's, except where a passage is marked as corrected or machine re-recognized; most have not been checked against the audio, so words, numbers and names can be misheard. It describes what was said. It cannot establish who voted how, an amount or an outcome. A time links to its passage, and “Copy link” copies that link. “▶ Play” opens the recording at that moment, on YouTube; on this page it moves the player above the transcript.

How this transcript was made. New machine transcription of the whole recording, with 3 voices separated from the audio. No word has been replaced by anything else. Checks run on this transcript: the recognizer's own warning signs, whether a voice was detected where the words are and a language review for likely mishearings. A second, independent machine reading was compared with it word by word: the same words for 97.5% of 531 content words. Dotted words (1 places) are ordinary wording differences: hover or tap to see the other reading. 12 passages (18% of the words) are marked suspect: their words are not shown ("unclear audio") and support no statement: numbers, amounts, negation or names differ; the language review questioned them; or no voice was detected there. Agreement between two machine readings is not verification.

Speakers were separated by voice. A plain name rests on evidence tied to that voice; “provisional” is a name from an earlier text-only pass and is not verified; “Speaker N” is an unidentified voice.

Hi, I'm Jack Walsh and I'm the Utilities Director for the City of Cocoa and I'm standing here at the Dial Water Treatment Plant and I'm here to try to convey some information about how we treat the water in the City of Cocoa and why our water is safe to drink.

Our water is safe to drink for many reasons but primarily because in Flint, Michigan as we understand it that they changed their water source and they did not adjust their water chemistry.

groundwater sources for the last 20 years to 80 years and we haven't changed that since. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection has very strict requirements for drinking water standards, primary standards and secondary standards.

higher pH in its water for a very specific reason and that reason is to create a calcium carbonate film on the inside of any pipe along its travels. And when it does that, it creates a barrier between the water delivered and the pipe that it's delivered from.

copper in contact with the water, the calcium builds up on the inside of the pipe and it protects the citizen from leaching of those metals. It's a shared responsibility ‸ to ensure that the water is safe. We'll ensure that the water is safe up to the meter and it's a citizen's responsibility to ensure that his side of the meter back to the house and in through the house is safe. And so we both have a shared responsibility. And so the way citizens can do that, if they have concern, is to have a plumber come and do some testing and do some investigation in their house. If they think they have lead

fixtures or lead pipes or anything of that nature, a plumber can do that. The City of Cocoa is dealing with it. If we encounter that stuff in the field, we change it out. But we run the higher pH and higher alkalinity so that the pipes, if they happen to be there, don't leach.
