Storage and distribution pressure for the municipal water system is <br />provided by two elevated storage tanks with capacities of 0.5 and 1.5 million gallons <br />respectively. The 1999 Water System Study demonstrated the need for the construction of <br />additional elevated storage to meet future demands on the water system. This <br />recommendation was based on an analysis of existing and projected future flows and <br />included factors such as fire flow capacity, emergency storage, daily peak use, and water <br />supply and pumping capacity. <br />Table 13.4 lists the existing water storage facilities as well as those projected in the 1999 <br />Water System Study for future construction. The location of these facilities is indicated in <br />Figure 13.3. <br />Table 13.4: Existing and Future Water Storage Facilities <br />Description <br />Reservoir No. 1 <br />Reservoir No. 2 <br />Reservoir No. 3 <br />Usable Storage Year High Water <br />Volume (gal) Constructed Elevation <br />500.000 1989 1036 <br />1,5007000 I 2000 ±1035 <br />1,000,000 I Projected 2009 N/A <br />Water Treatment. The City does not currently operate a water treatment plant. The <br />current water supply does not violate any of the Primary Drinking Water Standards <br />provided for in the Safe Drinking Water Act. Therefore, water treatment would be <br />required only to treat for secondary contaminants and aesthetic purposes. Because of <br />this, the existing City Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects constructing a water <br />treatment plant within approximately five years. <br />Table 13.5 is a summary of average water quality data for the system. Variations in <br />quality may occur periodically due to minor differences in concentrations of each <br />13-3 <br />
