Project Title:
Water Quality Improvements Project

Project Description:
Summary The proposed project features the construction of a new 47,000 gallon steel ground storage tank, a new 40 gallons per minute (GPM), 10 horsepower (HP) duplex hydro-pneumatic pump station, waterline replacement on Glenn Avenue, Main Street, Court Street, Broadway Street, Rupe Drive, Branch Street, and Davis Lane, a waterline extension on Branch Street to loop to Rupe Drive and Glenn Avenue, and the purchase and installation of 17 6” D.I.M.J. gate valves and boxes, 1 2” D.I.M.J. gate valves and box, 12 hydrants, 47 residential meters and setters, air relief valves, 70 12" Steel Casing (Bore and Jack), 15 waterline markers, and one 2” service meter for the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex. The proposed project will improve service and ensure high-quality standards are met throughout the area. Background Currently, the McClain Way area (roads: McClain Way, Tower Hill, Hutchinson Road, and Daisy Knob) is serviced via the 1,500,000 gallon elevated Prison Tank. The configuration of the Prison Tank only allows for the City of West Liberty to utilize the top 1/3 (500,000 gallons) of the tank via an internal standpipe and 8” outlet waterline. When water levels in the tank approach 2/3 full, residents in the McClain Way area of the City of West Liberty experience low water pressure and periodic outages in service. Water is fed into the bottom of the Prison Tank’s bowl, through a booster station, via a 10” waterline. The prison meter is tapped and fed from the 10” waterline as well. When the booster station is on, the tank is filled via the bottom of the bowl. When the booster station is off, the prison meter is back fed from the bottom of the tank with fresh potable water. Given that McClain Way residents are fed via the top 1/3 of the tank, and water enters the bottom of the tank, water does not circulate and is not often turned over. This can lead to water quality issues for the City’s customers. Scope of Work To remedy the water service and potential water quality issues, the City of West Liberty has proposed to construct a new pressure system with a new 47,000 gallon steel ground storage tank and hydro-pneumatic pump station on Daisy Knob Rd to serve the households in the Hutchinson Road Area. The proposed tank will provide water to the new hydro-pneumatic pump station. The new hydro-pneumatic pump station will have three pumps: two 40 gallon per minute pumps for daily usage and one 500 gallon per minute pump for flushing and to match existing flows. The pump station variable frequency drives will maintain a constant discharge pressure no matter the system flow requirements at any given time. Telemetry and electrical services will be provided. The proposed tank will connect at Daisy Knob Rd via approximately 350 linear feet (LF) of 6” PVC waterline. In addition to the construction of a new water tank and supporting infrastructure, outlined above, the City of West Liberty has proposed to replace aging, undersized, and problematic waterline throughout sections of West Liberty in order to improve the water quality and service to the area. Aging, undersized, and problematic waterline will be replaced on Glenn Avenue (approximately 1,100 LF), Main Street (approximately 1,800 LF), Court Street (approximately 700 LF), Broadway Street (approximately 100 LF), Rupe Drive (approximately 150 LF), Branch Street (approximately 200 LF), and Davis Lane (approximately 1,500 LF). Waterline service will be extended approximately 500 LF on Branch Street to loop to Rupe Drive and Glenn Avenue via a proposed 6” PVC waterline. Additional components such as the 17 6” D.I.M.J. gate valves and boxes, 1 2” D.I.M.J. gate valves and box, 12 hydrants, 47 residential meters and setters, 70 12" Steel Casing (Bore and Jack), 15 waterline markers, and one 2” service meter for the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex. The proposed project will improve service and ensure high-quality The 2” service meter will be installed to serve the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex, as the existing meter is not reading accurately.

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:
The additional 47,000 gallon water storage tank is needed to serve the customers in the Hutchinson Road/ McClain Way area. Currently, the customers are served by the Prison Tank, which is owned by the Kentucky Department of Corrections. The City only has access to the top 1/3 of the tank which is insufficient during high water usage at the prison or when the volume of the tank drops below 1,000,000 gallons. Residents in the McClain Way area not only loose water pressure when this happens, they may also loose water service altogether. The new tank would eliminate the City's need to use the Prison Tank, further improving the quality of service provided to the City's customers. The new tank can also be used to create a separate pressure zone to feed the west side of the city in case of a main break on US 460. The waterline replacements are needed to replace aging cast iron lines that are brittle and have frequent breaks. The replacement of these lines will improve service, water quality, and reduce water loss from main line breaks in the system.

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.

An alternative to this project would be to complete upgrades to the existing Prison Tank and redirect flows. This alternative is not preferable because the City of West Liberty does not own the Prison Tank, it is owned by the Department of Corrections and making modifications to the tank would impact the water storage required for the state prison.

Alternate B:

And alternative to this project would be to replace aging waterlines and remove city customers from prison  tank.  This alternative involves replacing existing city waterlines and disconnecting the city's customers from the prison water tank and constructing a new pressure system.

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:
