<br />~ <br /> <br />v-4 <br /> <br />The storage capacity is 260,000 gallons which is equal to a maximum <br /> <br />day of storage for the existing 244 taps. There is no storage reserve <br /> <br />available for fire protection during maximum day conditions nor is <br />there adequate storage for any future taps. <br /> <br />The location of existing storage i~ not in the most advantageous <br /> <br /> <br />position with regard to the distribution system in that it is between <br /> <br /> <br />the source and distribution. It i~ much more beneficial if storage <br /> <br /> <br />is on the opposite side of the distribution so that any position of the <br /> <br />system can be fed from either direction in the event of line break or <br />fire. <br /> <br />! <br /> <br />EXISTING DISTRIBUTION LINES <br /> <br />The distribution system is shown on the attached Drawings No. I and <br /> <br />IX-B. A large portion of the system is 70 years old and consists of <br /> <br /> <br />2, 4, and 6-inch galvanized steel pipe. Recent improvements include <br /> <br /> <br />the installation of approximately 150 I.f. of 12-inch CIP, 2,850 l.f. <br /> <br /> <br />of 10-inch CIP, 3,700 l.f. of 8-inch CIP, 650 I.f. of 6-inch CIP and <br /> <br /> <br />13 fire hydrants. The remaining lines consist of inadequately sized <br /> <br /> <br />old steel pipe, too small to meet normal standards for fire protection <br /> <br />flows, probably in average to poor condition. Thus, replacement of <br /> <br />portions of the distribution system is needed to complete renovation of <br /> <br />the entire distribution system. <br /> <br />. <br />
