City of Roseville <br />March, 2008 <br />so the allowable peak flow is 10.03 (4.01 * 2.5) mgd. As the average flow declines, the allowable flow also <br />declines, raising the possibility that a peak flow rate that is considered allowable one year, may be considered <br />excessive in the future, <br />During runoff conditions following a rain event or snowmelt period, the flows increase markedly due to <br />infiltration and inflow (Ill) entering the sanitary sewer system. In September 2007, the City wastewater flow <br />peaked in response to a 1.83 inch rainfall event. The peak hourly flow rate, recorded as the "net" of the <br />formula calculation was: <br />Table 3 -Peak Hourl Flow in m d followin 1.83 inch rainfall event on 5e tember 19,2007 <br />Meter Formula Peak Hourl Flow Rate in m d <br />M046-(M049+M050+M051+M052+M054+M055+M055A) 11.13* <br />* Note This rate is calculated from the MCES Meter data, however, the City did not receive a notice that there was excessive slow as <br />a result of this storm event. <br />III. Temporary Flow Metering <br />Temporary flow meters were installed in eight (8) manholes to subdivide the City of Roseville as shown on <br />Figure 1. The temporary meters consisted of a transducer placed in the flow channel, connected to a flow <br />meter/ data logger. The flow meter collects readings of flow depth and velocity from the submerged <br />transducer. These values are then input into a formula and a flow rate is estimated. The eight (8) temporary <br />flow meters were installed in the system from July 19, 2007 to August 29, 2007. This period was generally <br />dry; however 2.05 inches of rainfall were received over a two day period on August 27 and 28, 2007. The <br />flow data from the temporary meters are summarized in the following table: <br />Table 4 -Summa of Tem ora Flow Meterin Data in m d <br /> Dry Weather Flow <br />(8123/07) Peak Hourly Flow <br />(8128/07) <br />Meter A 0.41 * 0.85* <br />Meter B 0.53 1.17 <br />Meter C 0.14 0,24 <br />Meter D 1.80 2.84 <br />Meter E 0.07 0.17 <br />Meter F 0,21 0.37 <br />Meter G 0.35 0.54 <br />Meter H 0.21 0.38 <br />`Note: Meter A data is not considered reliable due to continuing debris buildup around transducer. <br />IV. Analysis of flows <br />The flow meters provide basic flow quantification and can be used in a number of ways to estimate an l/l <br />quantity and make some predictions about possible sources of the Ill based on the flow patterns, The data can <br />also be combined with other available City data to prioritize areas and maximize rehabilitation efforts. <br />The data analysis included a number of steps as described below. The actual analysis for each "meter <br />shed" is presented in a series of Figures in the Appendix, and the results are summarized in Table 5. <br />Packground Data, <br />o The estimated number of "Residential Equivalent Connections (REC)" and the length of the sanitary sewer <br />tributary to the mater location were obtained form the City graphical information system (GIS). <br />o The Monthly Flow data from the past three years were obtained from the MCES for their meters. <br />o Data from the temporary meters were compiled. <br />Parameters for Comparison <br />o Estimate annual Ill volume and treatment cost using "base" flow analysis <br />Page 5 of 12 <br />
