<br />Existing areas of concern include: Houle Circle (Node J-29), Grange View (Node J-32), <br />Lamotte Drive (Node J-350), Clear Ridge (Node J-34), Lakeland Circle and Mount Court. <br />These areas contain six inch water mains or are located on dead end streets, which causes <br />existing fire flows to be just under the 1,000 gpm fire flow requirement. <br /> <br />The new tower being 6.5 feet higher will help improve the Houle Circle, Grange View and <br />Clear Ridge deficiencies. However, only increasing the existing main sizes or looping of the <br />dead ends will make these areas surpass 1,000 gpm. <br /> <br />The scheduled Peltier Lake Drive water main loop this year will increase the Lakeland Circle <br />and Mound Court fire flows by over 400 gpm for a total over 1,400 gpm. Completing the <br />Peltier Lake Drive water main loop all the way to node J-385 on CSAH 14 will increase the <br />flow over 600 gpm and put the fire flow around 1,675 gpm. Both of these increases are <br />without the new tower. <br /> <br />Completing an 8" water main loop to the MCES lift station via Lamotte Drive and Heritage <br />Street, will increase the MCES area in the ultimate system by 1,800 gpm for a total available <br />fire flow over 2,500 gpm. <br /> <br />The new tower and mains to the east side CommercialJIndustrial areas will provide fire <br />flows just over 3,500 gpm when entirely interconnected with the Ultimate System. The <br />available fIfe flow for the dead end 8" main to node J-28 on 21st Avenue is only 1,422 gpm. <br />Looping tliat system to node J-I04 on 20th Avenue will increase the frre flow to above 2,500 <br /> <br />gpm. <br /> <br />Refer to Table No.3 below for a model comparison of the existing sytem fire flows to the <br />ultimate system fire flows. Refer to Figure No.2 and Figure No.3 for the existing and <br />ultimate modeling node locations. <br /> <br />Water Tower Feasibility Report <br /> <br />19 <br />
