Storaqe <br />As mentioned above, the existing 85,000 gallon concrete <br />reservoir will require repair of leaks. Based on a pre- <br />vious inspection performed on the tank, repairs of the <br />leaks was estimated to be approximatelY $3,500. <br /> <br />No other modifications or improvements are required to <br />the other storage facility or related lines, structures <br />or equipment. <br /> <br />C. Distribution System <br />It is recommended that all distribution lines smaller <br />than 6 inch be replaced with 6 inch ?VC, Class 160 pipe <br />and that all existing fire hydrants be connected to the <br />larger diameter lines. <br /> <br />In addition, approximatelY 5 new fire hydrants will be <br />installed along the proposed 6 inch main construction <br />under Phase I. Due to the condition of the old small <br />diameter lines, it is the intent to abandon these lines <br />after the new paralleling lines are installed. All <br />existing house service taps will then have to be tapped <br />and re-connected to the new mains. <br /> <br />Due to the limitation of available funding, the Town in- <br />tends to replace the water distribution system in various <br />phases. Phase I, which is addressed in this report, will <br />include the installation of a 6 inch main in Baker, a 6 <br />inch maln ln Railroad Street between Boone and Baker, a 6 <br />inch main in North Street and a 6 inch line in Gerrard <br />Avenue. These proposed mains would be connected to the <br />existing 8 and 6 inch mains as well as the existing small <br />diameter mains until these smaller mains can be replaced. <br />The larger diameter mains will alleviate the present pres- <br />sure problems and provide for reliability of fire protection. <br />Phase II (future construction) will consist of the remaining <br />mains shown on Exhibit B. <br /> <br />-7- <br />
