<br />~, <br /> <br />This strainer prevents pipe scale, grit, or other foreign matter from <br /> <br />damaging the seats of the regulator and will increase the life and use- <br /> <br />fulness of the valves. <br /> <br />Individual regulator valves will not correct the high pressure in <br /> <br />the water main, but it will allow the household plumbing and appliances <br /> <br />to function at their designed pressures. <br /> <br />An overall solution to the problem of high water pressure in the <br /> <br />town's water system is to install main line pressure regulating valves. <br /> <br />A pressure zone map and the location of the pressure regulating stations <br /> <br />are shown on Exhibit C at the end of this report. These pressure regu- <br /> <br />lating stations, just as in all mechanical equipment, requires maintenance <br /> <br />and attention in order to function properly. <br /> <br />All the taps in the Eagle water system are metered. These meters <br /> <br />are relatively new, most of them having been installed in the last 3 <br /> <br />years, and are an asset to the distribution system. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Raw Water Transmission Line: The raw water transmission line from the <br /> <br />intake structure to the treatment plant is in a deteriorating condition <br /> <br />and should be replaced. The raw water line is made up of a combination <br /> <br />of 8", 10" and 12" diameter pipe. The 12" diameter pipe is new and is <br /> <br />of adequate size to accommodate the town's requirements of water. Of <br /> <br />the approximate 29,000 feet of raw water line, 4,500 feet is the new <br /> <br />12" diameter pipe. The raw water .line presently traverses through fields <br /> <br />generally following the alignment of Brush Creek and the Brush Creek <br /> <br />County Road. This alignment is shown on Exhibit D at the end of this <br /> <br />report. When breaks occur in the present raw water line, the town has <br /> <br />to gain access to such breaks through private property. These fields <br /> <br />raise agricultural products and the resulting damage to the fields or <br /> <br />to livestock due to the repairing of these breaks are assessed to the town <br /> <br />- 40 - <br /> <br />. <br />
