6. Scandia Community Water Study FINALH:\SCND\N13118583\2_Preliminary\C_Reports\Scandia Community Water Study Memo.docx MEMORANDUM Date: September 6, 2019 To: Adam Hawkinson, City of Scandia From: Jacob Humburg, P.E. Ryan Goodman, P.E. Subject: Community Water Study – Fire Station Area Introduction This memo and its attachments are the product of the Community Water Study proposed in February 2019. The purpose of this study was to break down the various components and costs that would be associated with constructing a drinking water supply and distribution system to serve the same area that was examined in the 2018 Community Drainfield Study. The 2018 study considered the area immediately surrounding the Scandia Fire Hall, the area immediately to the south of the Fire Hall, across Hwy 97, and a potential new development to the east of the Fire Hall and extending to the south side of Hwy 97. A figure is attached to this memo which shows the areas described and a layout of the proposed system. Explanation of Proposed System Sizing and Layout Daily flows within the proposed system were calculated for each existing establishment and property, as well as for the land area slated for potential future development. Attached to this document is a breakdown of the various flow demands within the system and the calculations used to determine average day, peak day, and peak hour flows. It was assumed that any future development on land to the east of the Fire Hall would be categorized as a mix of commercial and light industrial. The undeveloped land included approximately 7.7 acres located south and 27.9 acres north of Hwy 97. One third of the land was assumed to be light industrial, while the other two thirds were assumed to be developed for commercial use. The total average day demand for the system was conservatively calculated to be 75,000 gallons, the maximum day Name: Scandia – Community Water Study – Fire Station Area Date: September 6, 2019 Page: 2 H:\SCND\N13118583\2_Preliminary\C_Reports\Scandia Community Water Study Memo.docx demand to be approximately 210,000 gallons (average of 150 gallons per minute), and the peak hourly flow to be 200 gallons per minute. Sizing of the water supply components of the system is based on the ability to meet the maximum day demand. Per 10 States Standards, the maximum day demand must be met with the largest supply well out of service. It was assumed that the existing 550-gallon per minute well could supply the new water system, but would need to be refitted with a new pump to handle the altered pumping head condition. In addition to this existing well, a new well would need to be constructed to provide redundancy to the system. Based on the projected maximum day demand of 150 gallons per minute, a 200-gallon per minute well was assumed. In this way, the smallest well could not only meet maximum day demand, but peak hourly demand as well, for a negligible difference in cost. For the purposes of this study it is assumed that the new well would be drilled into the Jordan Aquifer, approximately 250 feet below grade. It should be noted though, that constructing this new well and being permitted to pump the necessary flows could encounter hurdles with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), depending on how the new well might affect the aquifer and other nearby resources. Many of these details could not be further clarified until the well is already drilled. Likewise, for the existing well which is drilled into the Mt. Simon-Hinckley Aquifer, it is unknown how much daily flow the DNR would ultimately permit to be withdrawn from this well. Regardless, for the purposes of generating cost estimates for this study, it was assumed that these two wells would be able to produce the flow required by the new system. Sizing for necessary storage within the system is more complicated than simply meeting the average or peak day demands of the system. Especially for small communities, it is often fire flow demands which dictate sizing, and this is the case for the proposed system in Scandia. Due to Scandia’s topography, the best overall option for storage is an elevated tower, which serves the additional purpose of providing pressure to the distribution system. Scandia’s 2019 Public Protection Classification (PPC) report from the Insurance Services Office (ISO) specifies a Basic Fire Flow of 3,000 gallons per minute and based on the International Code Council (ICC) requirements the fire duration would be three hours. Taking into account the water supply capacity (wells) described above, this would require storage of over 500,000 gallons. For a community of Scandia’s size, this is not feasible. In addition to being prohibitively expensive to Name: Scandia – Community Water Study – Fire Station Area Date: September 6, 2019 Page: 3 H:\SCND\N13118583\2_Preliminary\C_Reports\Scandia Community Water Study Memo.docx construct, a tower of this size would almost certainly have issues with freezing in the winter, considering the low amount of water turnover that would be experienced on an average day. Based on the 2019 ISO report, the City is not currently able to meet this 3,000-gallon per minute demand anyway, so insurance ratings for existing or future businesses in Scandia would not change from what they are currently. The International Plumbing Code, as part of ICC, uses 1,500 gallons per minute for a duration of two hours as the minimum fire flow required for buildings that are not family dwellings. Because the 3,000-gallon per minute flow is not being designed for as part of this study, this 1,500-gallon per minute flow was used for sizing elevated storage. It was determined that a tower with a capacity of approximately 175,000 gallons would be needed. Table 1, below, summarizes how this number was obtained. Table 1 Sizing of Proposed Elevated Storage for Scandia Fire Demand (gpm)1,500 Peak Usage (gpm)+200 Total Coincident Demand =1,700 Supply (gpm)-700 Withdrawal from Storage (gpm)=1,000 Fire Flow Duration (minutes)× 120 Fire Fighting Storage (MG)=0.120 Equalizing Storage (25% of Max. Day Demand, MG)+0.053 Total Storage Required (MG)=0.173 Simply for comparison purposes, the sizing of the water supply and storage system would allow for 190 residences to be served in place of the proposed commercial/light industrial development, assuming three persons per household and 100 gallons per capita daily water use. For water treatment within the new system construction of a new well house was assumed, which would meter and add chemical to water produced by both wells prior to it entering the distribution system. This structure would be of concrete masonry unit and contain three rooms: one for chemical addition and metering, one for fluoride chemical storage, and one for chlorine. Name: Scandia – Community Water Study – Fire Station Area Date: September 6, 2019 Page: 4 H:\SCND\N13118583\2_Preliminary\C_Reports\Scandia Community Water Study Memo.docx The basic layout of the proposed distribution system is illustrated in Figure 1 at the end of this memo. All water mains within the system were sized as 8-inch diameter, to retain the ability to supply greater fire flows in the future, should the proposed system be expanded or other circumstances change. All of the main water supply infrastructure, including the new well, well house, and water tower were positioned on the Fire Hall property. The reasoning behind this was the location of the existing well, the availability of land to the City, and the property’s central location within the proposed distribution system. All costs for the distribution system, as well as the proposed wells, well house, and water tower are detailed in the Engineer’s Cost Opinion attached to this memo.
