P* .%•**»!£;» ?fP» **»•.*««? jo* W«ld«a steel pipe throughout Its entire length. The line is divided into two sectionsi from the inlet pumps to the Booster Pump Station Reservoir} from the Booster Pumps to the fermi- nal Res ervoirs. The total length of the pipe lines from the Inlet pump station to the terminal reservoirs is 79,990 lineal feet. The pipe wall thicknesses range from 9A6s to 1/4". Joints of the heavier sections are sanded and butt welded. Joints of the lighter sections are lap welded. *2t'®3>§or ©oatings are of spun coal-tar enamel, and exterior coatings are of ir26 cool-tar saturated rag felt wrapping. This pipe was fabricated la accordance with Standard Specifications for SLeetric Fusion Welded Steel Pipe for Sizes 30 Inches and Over, No. 7A.3-19*0, of the American water Works Association. The minimum cover is not less than 2& feet throughout the length of the line, with the exception of two short lengths which are exposed and supported on concrete and steel bents. Exposed sec- mens are anchored at each end with an expansion Joint between the anchors. There are 23 18* manholes in the line. For vacuum relief there are 12 6* Simplex Vacuum Relief Valves, and 9 6* Felton bash Pot Valves, which also serve as surge suppressors oh the line. For air relief at the crests there are 12 3/4* Fisher Air Relief Valves* HLowwoff valves are located at each lew point and range in else from 4 inches to 12 inches. BOOSTER PUMP STATION > The Booster Pump Station consists of the following units: Reservoirs, Pumps* Building. Electrical Controls. Electrical Sub-Station. The Booster Station Reservoir has a capacity of one million gallons. It is constructed within an earth work cut in fill, with & 2* (hrnnite lining, laid on a shallow layer of stabilised earth. It is circular In shape with a 90 foot diameter, flat bottom and sloped sides rising 12 inches on 16 inches. The diameter at the top of the slope Is 162 feet. The normal depth of the water is ten feet with a 2 foot free—board. The reservoir is completely covered with a timber roof suppored on wood columns and with composition roofing. A float well for the Intake pump float switches is connected to the reservoir. There Is a separate float switch for e&oh of the Intake pumps, set at varying levels so that the pumps will start and stop in measured sequence! thus eliminating excessive starting and stopping surge. Main booster pumps consist of mix Byron-Jaokson, 2-stage, horizontal, oentrlfu* gal P«aps. They are powered by 1250-BP, 4150 volt, Westinghouse synchronous motors. The booster pumps take suction from a *8 inch suction manifold, which is connected with the booster station reservoir. They discharge into a 40* discharge manifold, which is connected to the 40 inch pressure pipe line to the terminal reservoirs. 3
