<br />~ -.., <br /> <br />1994 Master Plan Update <br />Town of Elizabeth <br /> <br />The two wells are capable of producing 20 to 30 gpm additional flow. <br />However, this is only possible for short periods of time due to excessive <br />drawdown of the groundwateT table and excessive intTusion of sand into the <br />wells. <br /> <br />Using this criteria, the number of SFEs that the existing water system can <br />SUPPOTt is shown in Table 4, below. <br /> <br />TABLE 4 <br />EXISTING WATER SYSTEM SERVICE LIMITS <br /> <br />CRITERIA LIMIT <br />Supply 360 SFE <br />Storage 610 SFE <br /> <br />Currently, the Town's water system serves 484 SFEs (Table 1). As shown in <br />Table 4, the water system cannot provide service to the existing customers to <br />the level established by the supply criteria during peak demand periods. This <br />became apparent during the summer of 1994 when the reservoirs went nearly <br />dTY during a high demand period of approximately one week and water <br />Testrictions were imposed. If eitheT of the wells had gone out of service, or if <br />there had been a fire, the wateT system would not have been able to meet the <br />demands. <br /> <br />Meurer & Associates <br />October 5, 1994 <br />Page 7 <br />
