<br />The following ~eports from the City Manager were presented:
<br />
<br /> 81-62 "Consideration of an ordinance on first reading to appropriate
<br />the Public Utilities Capital Improvements Fund for the design of a 2 million
<br />clearwell and a pumping station in the Churchland area.
<br />
<br />$320,000 from
<br />gallon undergrou~
<br />
<br /> In 1978, the firm of CH2M Hill was engaged to make a study of the water treatment
<br />process and the physical structures of the p2ant $.n Suffolk. The purpose of this study was
<br />to develop a long range plan for plant improvements in conjunction with modifying the
<br />treatment process to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Act on contaminent limits, par-
<br />ticularly trihalomethanes. During the process of evaluating the physical structures, it
<br />was determined that the 2 million gallon underground clearwell where the treated surface
<br />water and well water are blended for distribution was badly deteriorated and needed to
<br />be replaced. During the analysis of the transmission and distribution system, it was also
<br />determined that the Churchland pumping system needed additional capacity to supply future
<br />industrial demands in the Churchland area. The engineers recommended that the pumping
<br />station be designed in conjunction with the clearwell in order to reduce construction cost.
<br />This approprlt~on provides the necessary funds for the design of these two much needed
<br />facilities. The City Manager recommends adoption on first reading.
<br />
<br /> On motion of Mr. Oast and seconded by Mrs. Webb, the following ordinance was approved
<br />on first reading, and by unanimous vote:
<br />
<br />"AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $320,000 FROM THE PUBLIC UTILITIES CAPITAL IMPROVE-
<br />MENT FUND FOR THE DESIGN OF A TWO MILLION GALLON UNDERGROUND CLEARWELL AND A
<br />PUMPING STATION IN THE CHURCHLAND AREA."
