will be designed to transfer 10 million gallons of water per day. Lake Tokorozawa is a <br /> secondary lake located on the southwest side of Decatur and is large enough to provide a <br /> 30 day water supply. This project will help to provide an adequate source of water <br /> during drought events to ensure public health, sustained industrial activity, and enable <br /> continued growth. The estimated cost for the project is $2.5 million. <br /> 4. Five Million Gallon Treated Water Storage Tank. Recommended standards for water <br /> works indicate a minimum of two reservoirs for a reliable and continuous supply of <br /> water. The South Water Treatment Plant was constructed in 1988 with a single treated <br /> water reservoir. The existing reservoir cannot be taken out of service for maintenance <br /> because all treated water must remain in temporary storage to provide adequate chlorine <br /> contract time as required by the U.S. EPA, without a second storage reservoir, it is <br /> impossible to temporarily shut down the existing tank for maintenance. This project will <br /> enhance a reliable and continuous supply of water from the water treatment plant thereby <br /> ensuring public health, fire protection, sustained industrial activity, and strong economic <br /> growth. The estimated cost is $5 million. <br /> 5. Lowering Lake Decatur Intakes. The existing Lake Decatur intake is set at elevation <br /> 604 feet above sea level. It is proposed to construct a new water intake set four feet <br /> lower, thereby gaining access to an additional 2,700 acre-feet of water presently within <br /> Lake Decatur. This project will increase the available water supply to ensure public <br /> health, sustained industrial activity, and continued growth. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: There are no known objections to this <br /> Resolution. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: None <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Richard G. Marley, Director of <br /> Engineering and Infrastructure, at <br /> 424-2747. <br /> Keith Alexander, Director of Water <br /> Management, at 424-2834. <br /> Richard Marley and Keith Alexander will be in attendance at the City Council meeting to <br /> answer any questions of the Council on this item. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: Possible funding from the State or Federal <br /> government will greatly assist in making construction of these improvements possible. <br /> Cc: Dick Borders, Municipal Services Manager <br /> Page � 2 <br />
