MODIFICATION OF ELEVATED WATER STORAGE <br />TANKS - UTILITY SERVICES COMPANY, INC. <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of February 25, 2000: <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 25. 2000 <br />TO: JAMES E. CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />FROM: DONALD R. HUBBS, E. <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILI/ <br />PREPARED AND GENE RAUTH (1 <br />STAFFED BY: MANAGER OF WATER & WASTEWATER OPERATIONS <br />SUBJECT: MODIFICATION OF ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TANKS <br />BACKGROUND <br />On January 28, 1997, the Board of County Commissioners approved an agenda item for elevated <br />water tank maintenance and repair contracts with Utility Service Companv, Inc. See attached <br />agenda item and contracts). These contracts are currently providing annual inspection and tank <br />maintenance for the Countv's three (3) elevated tanks (Kings Highway. Gifford and Roseland). <br />The three (3) elevated tanks were inspected and serviced in May of 1999 as scheduled. <br />ANALYSIS <br />During this recent scheduled inspection and service. staff noted several tank draining system <br />improvements that could be made to both the Kings Highway and Roseland eievated storage <br />tanks. Currently each of the tanks use a single piping system to both fill and drain its self for <br />cleaning. <br />These types of systems do not allow for the best possible cleaning of the tanks. The Gifford <br />elevated tank design is different from the other two (2) in that the Gifford elevated tank design <br />allows for effective cleaning. <br />To improve the Roseland and the Kings Highway elevated tank design problems, the staff of the <br />Department of Utility Service has obtained a proposal from Utility Services Company, Inc. This <br />proposal in the amount of $7,200 would modify both of the existing tank piping systems to allow <br />for separate fill and drain points for each tank (see attached proposal). <br />March 7, 2000 <br />89 <br />• <br />BOOK -JI-e." tr+i t.d <br />
