Project Title:
Fishing Creek Area Water System Improvements

Project Description:
1) Project consists of approximately 14,000 LF of 12-inch PVC water transmission main along the Somerset, Kentucky Highway 914 Bypass from WTLO Road/KY Highway 3261 to Hacker Road at the Cumberland Parkway in Pulaski County, KY. The project will also consist of replacing approximately 10,200 LF of existing water main with 12-inch ductile iron water transmission main, 2,000 LF of the 10,200 LF consists of two (2) crossings by directional bore method using 16-inch DR 9 HDPE pipe. In addition, the project will consist of relocating an existing 250 GPM water booster pumping station along Hickory Nut Road. 2) Project also consists of installing approximately 11,200 LF of 12-inch PVC water transmission main from WTLO Road/KY Highway 3261 to and along Kentucky Highway 80 to the Fishing Creek Bridge in Pulaski County, KY. The project will also consist of replacing and upgrading the Lee's Ford Pump Station to 1,200 GPM, 3) Project includes approximately 4,500 LF of 3-inch water line replacement and approximately 3,000 LF of 4-inch water line replacement.

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:
1) The water transmission main will serve to transmit a large flow demand to the existing Denham Knob tank and Clifty Creek area. The WL replacement will eliminate a bottleneck problem in the system across the Fishing Creek area & allow a needed volume of flow to the western and northwestern portion of the system served by the Hickory Nut Pump Station No. 2 & Hickory Nut Tank. Project will also allow for the Hickory Nut Pump Station No. 2 to run in conjunction with the news existing Piney Grove ROad pump station. For years, since the Hickory Nut No. 2 pump station was installed, the pump station was not operable due to lack of adequate suction flow. 2) The water transmission main will serve to transmit a large flow demand to the Lee's Ford Pump Station, which serves the Nancy & Faubush areas of western Pulaski County, KY. The upgrade of the Lee's Ford Pump Station will improve to transport the demand flow to the Nancy and Faubush areas as this is a growing area that lies within the Lake Cumberland Recreational area. 3) Water line replacements to replace old & dilapidating pipe that District is continuously repairing leaks.

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.

Continue to use existing water line and rely on existing system to keep up with demand and growth-does not meet desired improvements.

Alternate B:

Complete this project in phases instead of one comprehensive project - not cost-effective and does not meet desired improvements.

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:

Item 4:	Permeable Pavement
Item 5:	Cisterns
