Planned operations and improvements for 2012-17

• Complete 12” main installation as part of phase II of the County 176th St. E. project. 

• Install 16” main on 6th Ave E between 157th and 160th St. E. as transmission main for new well 5R. 

• Install altitude control valve for tank #2 with pump down station.  System will allow full use of wells 5, 6, 9, and 10 even when tank 2 is full. 

• Construction of new well #6 @ 900 gpm with manganese filtration, variable production pump, and on-site chlorine generation. All well development costs are being funded entirely by new growth fees. 2007

• Design, engineering and construction for the newly redrilled and enlarged well # 5 including variable production pump, on-site chlorine generation, and calcium contactor for pH adjustment. 2007/8
  

• Redevelop Shaffer well site to include hollow line-shaft turbine pump and on site chlorine generation. 2008
  
  
• Continue main upsizing on “A” St. to improve fire flows available for the Pacific Avenue corridor. 2011

• Recoat the interior and touch-up exterior coating of Tank #2. 2013

• Complete 12” main replacement as part of phase III of the County 176th St. E. projects.  2013-14?  (100% existing system funding as all work is relocation of existing mains)  The 12” mains for the three phases of the 176th St. E. projects.

• Complete construction of replacement well #5 @ 1,600 gpm with corrosion control, variable production pump, on-site chlorine generation, and install well’s 16” transmission main.  All well development costs are funded entirely by new growth fees. 2013-14.

• Secure permitting for storage Tank #4 to serve the upper pressure zone.  2012, Construct an approximate 1.3 MG tank, or elevated tank, with 400,000 gallons of usable storage. 2013/14.

• Secure permitting and construct main pressure zone 3.2 MG storage Tank #5 with 1.0 MG usable storage. 2015-16.

• Utilize the completed USGS model to consolidate the Company’s water rights by aquifer and change the water rights to permit withdrawal from any well/s within an aquifer.  2012-13.

• Secure permiting, contruct building addition, and install manganese filtration at Yakima Well site (3 wells). 2015.

• Prioritize and fund main/service replacement program for approximately 10,500 feet of main per year (70-year life cycle).  Emphasis on smaller, older A/C mains. 

• Utilize USGS model to obtain DOE permit to construt a new well 11 at the office/shop facility with transfer of a portion of the existing perfected water rights from wells 2 & 2A. 2014+??

• Seek additional primary water rights for new wells 11 and 12 with possible mitigation being required.  2016+?

• Drill, design, engineer, and construct new well 12 in southeast portion of the water system. 2017+??

• Redevelop Shaffer well site to include hollow line-shaft turbine pump and on site chlorine generation. 2016
  

• Continue to work with the USGS, Pierce County Conservation District and Water Programs and other water utilities on the geo-hydrological model and analysis of Clover Creek issues in conjunction with Dept. of Ecology. Work to address well/s impact on Chambers/Clover Creeks and area lakes, ability to develop new wells, provide ESA protection for existing and new wells, and allow for mitigation of stream impacts. 2006-10
