Description Evaluate the installation of a new water storage device (ground or elevated tank) and associated pumping, valves, and pipes for the Slothower, Taft, or alternative site on the east or west side of the City's limits to sustain service level flows and pressures to new development. After the study, move into design of the selected improvements. Will provide direction on unfunded projects #52, 68, & 71. Total Project Cost: $500,000

Justification The Carson Farms and HiPoint areas on the west and east side of the City will create water system demand distant from existing water system pressure sustaining devices. This distance during peak demand hours will increase the velocity headloss in the piping thereby reducing pressures to customers farther out. To mitigate the headloss larger looped pipes surrounding the new developments will be required during construction and a new storage device with pressure boosting equipment is recommended.
