inch wood -stave pipe and�a partially complete 34 -inch steel line. The first <br />two of these lines extend from the storage tanks to the distribution system. <br />The latter steel line extends from the distribution system to a point approxi- <br />mataly one mile east of the tanks. <br />In this transmission system it is impossible to conduct an accurate flow <br />test without a tremendous waste of water and considerable line manipulation <br />which could seriously inconvenience the citizens of Loveland. We have con- <br />tented ourselves with the assignment of conservative friction factors and <br />calculating a theoretic capacity. The results of previous tests, conducted <br />by the Loveland Water Department during high demand periods, will lend <br />credence to our findings. <br />These capacities of Transmission System "B" are shown graphically on <br />Exhibit No. 7 for various storage tank levels. All capacities are based <br />upon maintaining a residual pressure of 50 psi at Eighth and Colorado. Also <br />sham on this exhibit is the potential capacity of the system if the 34 -inch <br />steel line is completed to the storage tanks. <br />IMPROVEMENTS ON TRANSMISSION SYSTEM "A" <br />Any improvements on the transmission system are wholly dependent upon <br />the location of future water treatment facilities. Should the City decide to <br />construct such facilities at the site of the present plant, an additional <br />27 -inch pipeline must be installed in Transmission System "A ". This pipeline <br />will be approximately 19,600 linear feet in length and is estimated to cost <br />$22.00 per foot in place. Total estimated cost of this improvement is <br />$431,200.00. if a lower level site is chosen for the new treatment facilities, <br />this line will not be required. <br />There has been some concern expressed by the city officials about <br />- 25 - <br />
