ty will contain two end suction centrifugal pumps each
capable of pumping 300 gpm. These pumps will drain water
from the existing 85,000 gallon reservoir. The water will
likewise be chlorinated at this facility.

The new 200,000 gallon reservoir was completed in July of
1980. It is a steel constructed, cylindrical shaped tank
which provides water to the Town by gravity. The maximum
static pressure developed by the head In the tank is
approximately 80 psi at the south end of Town and approxi-
mately 60 psi at the north end of Town. This volume of
storage is considered adequate for fire fighting purposes
for the present and near future requirements.

4,300 linear feet of 8 inch asbestos cement transmission
line was constructed during the summer of 1980. This line
extends from the 200,000 gallon reservoir south in Boone
Avenue to Railroad Street and connects to the distribution

system.

c. Distribution System
Along with the construction of the 8 inch transmission
line, two sections of 6 inch distribution lines were
constructed from Railroad Street and extend south beneath
the railroad tracks to Highway 96. The westerly section
consisted of 9l6t linear feet and the easterly section
consisted of 7l2t linear feet plus 575t linear feet in
Railroad Street.

The balance of the existing distribution system is con-
sidered to be very deficient in terms of construction and
capacity both for domestic supply and fire fighting pur-
poses. As noted on Exhibits A and B, a variety of sub-
standard line sizes and pipeline materials exist in the
system. The Town has experienced frequent breaks which
are costly and result in possible temporary contamination
of the water. Much of the existing main system was in-
stalled in the mid 1930's.
