The wet well at the pump-house receives the water from the wood <br />stave transmission line where it is picked up by two 6-stage turbine pumps. <br />Each of these pumps has a rated capacity of 250 GPM at a TDH of approximately <br />160 feet. Chlorination and fluoridation is applied to the pumping lines up- <br />stream of the filters. These pumps deliver water to two pressure-sand filters. <br />Each pump services one of the filters with no inter-connection between. Filter <br />Number 1 was installed in 1922 and Filter Number 2 was installed in 1950. The <br />water is then delivered by two 6-inch cast iron mains to storage reservoirs on <br />the hill South of Town. <br /> <br />g. Storage Reservoirs -- Pump Number 1 delivers water to a circular <br />concrete reservoir, constructed in 1922, whose top is at ground surface. A second <br />rectangular concrete reservoir with the same top elevation was constructed in <br />1950. This reservoir, with a capacity of 80,000 gallons, receives the water from <br />Pump Number 2. These tanks are inter-connected. A third storage reservoir was <br />added to the system in 1976 and, at the date of writin9 of this report, is in the <br />process of being put into full operation. This reservoir is a reconditioned <br />bolted steel tank with a capacity of 125,000 gallons. It is connected to the dis- <br />tribution system by a direct connection to the 8-inch line which runs Easterly <br />from the reservoir. It will be filled by a 6-inch direct connection from Pumping <br />Line Number 2. Pumping Line Number 2 will be disconnected from the rectangular <br />concrete reservoir and the water level in the two concrete reservoirs will be con- <br />trolled by an altitude valve installed on the original 6-inch cast iron pumping <br />main from Pump Number 1. Flows from the new tank will keep the older concrete <br />reservoirs full until such time as the water level in all three reservoirs equal- <br />ize. <br /> <br />h. Distribution System -- The Town delivers to its distribution system <br />through the original 6-inch cast iron pumping main from the pump-house to the <br />circular tank. In 1973, two 8-inch lines were installed. One runs East from the <br /> <br />-7- <br />
