The purpose of the PRVs is to maintain water pressure <br />at approximately 60 psi and reduce the potential for water main breaks within Arden Manor. <br />The northern PRV for Arden Manor was replaced during the Highway 10 water main project in 2019. <br />The second PRV located along Highway 96 has been in service for more than 30 years and has <br />exceeded the recommended service life. This PRV can no long be adjusted to set a specific <br />downstream water pressure in conjunction with the new PRV on the northern water service. <br />A quotation from Northwestern Power Equipment Company to replace the PRV along Highway 96 is <br />provided in Attachment A. Northwestern Power Equipment furnished the replacement components for <br />the northern PRV last year. Staff recommends approval of the quotation. <br />Financial Impact <br />The recommended purchase is not specifically identified within the 2020 operating budget for the <br />water utility but there are available funds to cover this purchase. Staff became aware of functional <br />problems after completing replacement of the northern PRV in late 2019. An attempt to repair the <br />existing PRV was not successful. Funding for the purchase is recommended from the operating budget <br />under system equipment and repairs, improvements other than buildings (44030). <br /> <br />Attachment <br />Attachment A – Quotation for PRV Replacement <br />
