City Council Water & Sewer Subcommittee <br />Feb. 18, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Lamar Power Partners' pumping station picks it up and pumps it around the <br />plant and to their plant. Mr. Campbell said that the city will be maintaining this <br />whole system. Lamar Power Partners bought it, paid for it, installed it and they <br />are giving it to the City of Paris and the city will maintain the system. <br /> <br />Mr. Johns asked for the capacity of the Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Campbell <br />said it was up to contention. It was designed to go up to 36 million gallons back <br />in 1996, but with the new rules and regulations that have come in since that <br />time, they did not know. Mr. Johns asked with the new water standards, if they <br />have lowered the capacity. Mr. Campbell advised that he feels they will, but <br />right at this time, City Attorney Schenk is finishing up a contract with Freese <br />and Nichols to perform a study of the city's Water Treatment Plant. Mr. <br />Campbell said the 36 million gallons is the plant's peak flow, but 21 million <br />gallons is all they have ever produced. Mr. Campbell advised that this was <br />designed in 1994 and built in 1996 to meet the rules that were in effect at that <br />time, but the rules have changed since then. The plant was designed to go to a <br />.5 turbidity unit and now regulations require a .3 turbidity. Due to the new <br />mandates, Mr. Campbell felt that regulations lowered the plant's capacity to <br />about 32 million gallons a day, in his opinion. He said they are averaging 11 <br />million gallons, with the flow peaking at 22 million. He said that these flows <br />represent ideal situations. <br />Mr. Campbell said that page three is a simple diagram of the ground storage and <br />distribution process flow diagram in 1987. He said water was produced and <br />pumped straight from the Water Treatment Plant to the distribution system and <br />to the two elevated tanks. The plant was modified in 1994 and in 1996 they <br />changed that capability to pump high pressure in this fashion to one pump, <br />opting for a plan to pump under low pressure to ground storage where the water <br />would be distributed by smaller low pressure pumps. He stated that last week, <br />when they had a major water leak, they switched back to this pumping scheme; <br />otherwise, the whole city would be out of water if they had not retained that one <br />pump. <br /> <br />Mr. Campbell said that page four shows how the ground storage/distribution <br /> <br /> <br />
