Feasibility Study - Draft <br />Water Treatment Plant <br />Prepared for City of Ramsey <br />1 Existing Water Infrastructure <br />1.1 Overall System Description <br />The City of Ramsey's water system dates back to 1985 when a well, pressure tank storage, and <br />distribution piping was constructed. Today, Ramsey's water system provides drinking water to <br />approximately 4,400 residences and approximately 340 businesses. The existing water system <br />consists of the following major components: <br />• Eight municipal wells <br />• Four pump houses <br />• Chemical feed systems in each pump house to add chlorine, fluoride, and polyphosphate <br />• Three water towers with a combined storage of 4 million gallons (MG) <br />The wells pump water to their respective pump houses, with Wells No. 1 and 2 pumping to Pump <br />House 1, Wells No. 3 and 4 pumping to Pump House 2, Wells No. 5 and 6 pumping to Pump <br />House 3, and Wells No. 7 and 8 pumping to Pump House 4. Foliowing chemical addition at the <br />Pump Houses, water is pumped directly into the distribution system. <br />1.2 Raw Water Supply <br />The City of Ramsey operates eight (8) municipal wells finished in the Tunnel City-Wonewoc <br />(TWC) aquifer. Table 1 provides a summary of each well. Figure 1 in Appendix A shows the <br />Ramsey distribution system map that identifies the locations of the wells, as well as the towers. <br />Table 1 — Well Data <br />ormation <br />Depth <br />Casing . <br />Depth ( <br />asing <br />Size (in) <br />Capacity <br />(gpm) <br />1 <br />1984 <br />_ill_ <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />320 <br />243 <br />14 <br />700 <br />2 <br />1987 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />320 <br />240 1 <br />14 <br />220 <br />3 , <br />1997 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />345 <br />222 <br />30 <br />1,450 <br />4 <br />1998 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />321 <br />191 <br />30 <br />' 850 <br />5 <br />2000 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />316 <br />215 <br />30 <br />850 <br />6 <br />2005 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />390 <br />. <br />282 <br />30 <br />900 <br />7 , <br />2007 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />332 <br />216 <br />30 <br />850 <br />8 ' <br />2007 <br />Ironton -Galesville <br />354 <br />I, 245 <br />30 <br />1,400 <br />Notes: Well No. 2 used exclusively for irrigation. <br />SEA is a registered trademark of Short Eltion Hendrickson irir, <br />FEASIBILITY STUDY-ORAFT <br />RAMSY 154354 <br />
