XiiTAKS PIMPS Intake pumps consist of six Peerless deep veil turbine pumps, powered bp 400 HP, 4150 volt General Electric motors. Pump columns are 18 Inches 0.D. with flanged Joints, and measure if6 feet l§ inches from motor base to bottom of strainers* Pump# are set in two rows of three, and each three discharge through 16 inch pipes to a 28 inch manifold. The two discharge manifolds conneot to the 40 inch W.S.p, pressure main* An 8 inch Pelt on Surge Suppressor is mounted at the discharge of each pump. Motors are controlled by float switches located at the Booster Station Reservoir. the discharge capacity of the intake pump# will vary in accordance with the lake levs!, and can operate between the following maximum and minimum ranges. Humber of Pumps lake level at lake level at Operating Elev. 1050.00 Elev. 1229.00 .1 4,120 gpm 8,180 * 5,500 gpm 2 10,950 Ews 1 12,040 • 16,320 * 4 15,580 ? 21,480 ? 5 19,040 * 26,380 * 6 22,100 * 31,010 * These two elevations represent the highest possible and lowest probable elevations of the lake surface* Within my knowledge the lake surface has net been lower than Elevation H50.O0. INTAKE PBHPigQUSIM The Intake Pump Bousing is constructed of A.p.M. siding and roof mounted on steel frame* The pump house is equipped with a 15 ton motor operated hoist, mounted on a hand operated bridge crane for pulling the pump column# and handling the motors* mag CONTROL HOUSE The intake control house is a one-story, concrete building, 19 feet 11 inches wide by 80 feet long. It is divided into a circuit breaker room, a battery- room and storage space. Control panel for the Intake pumps is located in this building* PRESSURE PIPE LIME The pressure Pipe line consists of the following principal parts: Pipe* Air Relief Yaives. How-Off Yaives. Expansion Joints. Anchorage. 2
