<br />Water Tower Size and Type Requirements <br /> <br />Water Tower Sizing <br /> <br />Sizing of the elevated water reservoir required a complete analysis of the Centerville water <br />system. The 1997 analysis determined that a 400,000 gallon elevated tower should be <br />constructed in the City in conjunction with the existing 100,000 gallon elevated tower. <br /> <br />New and future home and business construction will cause a corresponding increase in water <br />use. The existing 100,000 gallons of storage contained in the one elevated reservoir is not <br />adequate to meet current water use and storage requirements. <br /> <br />The 1997 analysis estimated that the saturated year 2020 would use about 0.93 million <br />gallons per day (MOD) on a peak day and 0.34 MOD on average. Average daily water use <br />in the City, however, has increas.ed gradually since the 1997 report and is currently about <br />0.22 MOD. The real difference between the actual use and projected use is that the <br />maximum day usage has peaked around 0.60 MOD over the last five years. <br /> <br />Even with the new data, we feel that the ultimate average daYgemand will be 0.53 MOD <br />with a corresponding maximum day demand of approximately 1.5 MOD. <br /> <br />Based on the criteria of providing storage to meet 30% of the maximum demand, the <br />required additional storage is 400,000 MO or if you consider removing the existing tower <br />from the system, 500,000 MO. <br /> <br />Water Tower Feasibility Report <br /> <br />8 <br />
