Distribution System Site Visits - April 7, 2005General Notes• Distribution system staff’s opinion is that highest priorities in system are thedegasification system at University, Elevated Tank #2, and changing Pump Stations 3and 5 into booster stations.• Elevated Tank #2 was repaired in summer 2004 and is now structurally sound. TheCounty has 3 contracts with companies that have antennae on the tower. A new toweris limited to a height of 80’ by a new ordinance, but since this tank is grandfathered ineveryone wants to use it.• Pump Station 6 is used in booster mode. The tank at PS6 is empty. The pumps aregetting new drives soon, as the current drives are getting old and spare parts are hardto find. They are also getting new stainless steel valves for the vault at PS6 in order tohave better control and less maintenance.• All pump stations are equipped with alarm systems.• Have 3 major dead ends in vicinity of Auto Flusher #1. Have 2 dead-end 12” lines veryclose to one another here. Distribution system staff suggest that they be connected.The County manually flushes hydrants in these areas once per month.• University has a lot of trouble with the degasification unit.H:\Client\SAR Co_SAR\6873C00 WATER SUPPLY MASTER PLAN UPDATE\Deliverables\TM 2 - Water System Assets\Final\Appendix F -Final.doc
