<br />Water Supply Reserve Account – Grant Appli cation Form <br />Form Revised July 2006 <br />_______________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Please provide a brief narrative of any related or relevant previous studies. <br />4. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Dam inspection by Dennis Miller this last fall confirmed the <br />issues with the outlet tube after a camera inspection of the <br /> <br />tube. <br /> <br />We have also investiga ted some method of automating the <br /> <br />headgate, but we found no “standard” solution. We would need <br />to add a motor and gearing to the headgate valve stem, add a <br /> <br />measuring device to the outlet tower and an <br />electronic/electrical control box to translate level <br /> <br />me asurements into headgate commands. <br /> <br />With the overly large size of the headgate, the slop in the <br /> <br />headgate linkage, the trash/crawdad problem, the need to <br />bring power to the location and concern about any possibility <br /> <br />of it running amuck (therefore needing a “ phone - home” alarm <br />system), it is a less - than - desirable alternate. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Our opinion is this automation would at best be a temporary <br />and potentially high maintenance option. The custom aspect <br />of design and installation does not leave us feeling <br />comfortable ab out this as a direction to pursue. Also, it <br />mitigates but does not solve the outlet pressure issue and <br />does nothing about measurement requirements. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
