Project Title:
Madison Co. Utilities District - College Hill Water Project

Project Description:
This project includes replacement of 1,860 LF of 8 inch and 5,000 LF of 6 inch PVC water line due to the aggressive acidic soil which has caused numerous leaks and water loss. The existing underground pump station will be replaced with an above ground pump station to eliminate possible confined space issues and increase the ability to provide maintenance to the proposed pump station. The proposed pump station will have premium efficient motors and variable frequency drives and will pump water to the existing College Hill Tank. This project will also rehabilitate and repaint the existing College Hill Tank.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
Due to numerous leaks in the ductile iron pipe in highly aggressive soils which cause higher water loss and added expense in maintaining and fixing leaks. The existing pump station has had numerous maintenance problems which required repairs. The proposed pump station will have premium efficient motors and variable frequency drives to improve electrical efficiency. The water lines will be up-sized to 8 inch water line to reduce the friction loss in the pipe while pumping and decrease electrical usage.The rehabilitation and painting the existing College Hill Tank will be performing items needed to the tank in the next three years as shown in the last tank inspection report

Project Alternatives:

Alternate A:

Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.

Replace pump station and rehabilitate and paint the existing College Hill Tank.  The water lines will be repaired and replaced  when leaks occur and live with a higher water loss.

Alternate B:

Do not construct a new tank and live with the existing problems which will not require the pump station to be up-sized but only replaced.

Inadequate turnover and DBPs are addressed as follows:

Currently the customers on the eastern part of District and south of Hwy 52 receive water from Richmond Utilities that is transported from the WTP to Richmond through three different water storage tanks and through two Madison County Utilities District tanks and then to the customer.  With the proposed Waco Tank the water will be supplied from a master meter from Richmond Utilities that is located between the WTP and Richmond Utilities first tank, pumped to the Waco tank and then distributed to the customers.  This will substantially reduce the age of the treated water to these customers and will only be stored in one tank.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:
