From inspection of nap, It w ill be seen that i t would be impracticable to connect the asters narked *** to a lin e from the Shop Well due to th eir location. The balance of the meters, which includes the old Stock Yards, Power Rouse, Tank Care and Water Softener meters, are so situated that they could be disconnected froa the 24" main which now serves then and connected to a new lin e which alght be constructed froa the Shop Well. The flow through these aeters in July 1951 was 5,891,500 g a ls., or an average of about 150,000 gals, per day, or an estimated peak flow of 200 0PM. However, i f a plan is considered to u tilis e the Shop Well for service to lin es s e r v e d by aeters as outlined in paragraph above, it would be necessary to provide additional fa c ilitie s as roughly outlined below in order that such a plan would function properly and provide unifora pressures, which could not be obtained by connecting existing lin es to a pumping well* Rough Set. - Poet $40,000 10,000 1.500 5.500 $57,000 In addition to above data, the following considerations should be taken into account: (a) The well is 52 years old, and probably in poor condition as to casing, e tc ., which would, no doubt, make inadvisable the reconditioning of well or reperforation of casing. (b) Pump and pumping equipment are estimated to be 20 years old. (a) Elevated steel storage tank on 80' high tower with not le ss than 200,000 gal. capacity, Rote: A u to m a tic pressure system with pumps and tanks oould be substituted for elevated tank, but is not recommended, due to operating d iffic u ltie s. (b) Rearrange existing lin es and construct new lin es to transfer source of water froa existin g aalns to independent new system connected to operation of Shop Well, Note: Existing connection with aeter froa Shop Well to 24* a&in should be le ft in place so that water would be available in event of well failu re, (o) Construot sand trap, Contingencies,
