Re: AUD No. 70300 Auxiliary Pump Station Improvements
Dear Jim:
We have reviewed the needs of the Auxiliary Pumping Station (APS). In order to protect the old
sections of the High system on the ''Hill'', we propose to isolate the western discharge at the Auxiliary
Pump Station and add a PRY between the eastern discharge and the old parts of the system This
arrangement will allow the City to operate the Auxiliary pump station to pump to High Point (HP)
Tank via Wrightsboro Rd. 24"/20" pipeline. We propose to isolate the Wrightsboro Rd. path from
Magnolia to allow higher discharge pressures off the pumps at the APS. The new line at Jackson Rd.
will serve well in delivering water to Walton Way Extension and Wheeler Rd to feed the HP Tank.
The concept can be sunnnarized as follows:
The Auxiliary Pump Station will be used to:
. Supply water via Wrightsboro Rd past Jackson Rd. as far as the WrightsbOro Rd. booster
station.
. Provide water to Jackson and Mark's Church Rd. water lines to supply the Wheeler Rd.
corridor and the Robert Daniel commercial areas.
. Provide the primary source for the Wrightsboro Rd.l Bel Air Rd High-High System
. Backup the High Point tank from the High-High System
. Backup the Filter Plant pumps through a PRV.
. Backup the Ft. Gordon System to supply Barton Chapel RdI Dean Bridge/ Tobacco Rd.
corridor of new pipelines with adequate pressure (the cross connection between the two
pumping stations needs to be completed).
The main pumps at the Filter Plant will be used to:
. Supply the ''Hill'' section ofthe high system by pwnping to the Highland Avenue Tank (as
historically done).

"
.. Supply the Washington Rd. corridor section of west Augusta from Lake Ohnstead to
Columbia County via the converted 18" system
. Supply the new Dennis Rd. tank via River Watch Parkway and Alexander Dr.
. Supply the Vineland Subdivision through a new PRY at Fruitland (adjacent to the new
60" RWL)
. Backup the Intermediate System in the National Hills section.
. The 16" main in Lake Forest will supply the residential areas west of the "Hill" along
Lake Forest Dr. and join the Jackson Rd. Main to feed the 500' system at Walton Way
Extension.
. Combine with the supply from the Dennis Rd. Tank to serve Montclair and the BJ
Expressway commercial district.
This strategy is somewhat modified from that presented in out 1998 Improvement Plan due to the
concerns about higher pressures in the "Hill" area. In order to implement this strategy we will use the
H20 Net computer model to confirm the resultant working pressures.
We have compiled a budgeting cost estimate for the work as follows:
Item Preliminary Construction Cost Estimate Material
1 4000 gpm Peerless pump $24,000
