Carter Surgess 5 Proposa/ Comprehensive Water Distribution System Auclit Section 3 Relevant Project Experience The Carter & Burgess staff have been responsible for the planning, design, and management of a wide variety of projects. These projeds have been performed ocross not onlyTexas,butaraundthenation. Representativeprojeds are provided below. Weatherford Water Purification Plant Treated Water Flow Metering Evaluation Weatherford, Texas The City ofWeatherford water departmentemployees noticed the City had an unacceptablyhigh percentage of unacrounted far treoted water. The Ciry hired Larter & Burgess, Inc. ta investigate the possi6le causes far this unaccounted for water. The City had more than 15 percent of its water supply unaccounted far. Normal lass is around 10 perceM, while a 5 percent loss is considered good. The ciry's water plant produces 8 million gallons of water per day. (arter 8 Burgess engineers decided the woter may not be leaving the system, but that it was not accounted for in the process. Engineers calibrated the water meters and looked at the accounting system. Hurst Water Distribution System Master Plan Hurst, Texas Carier & Burgess, Inc. prepared a Water Distribution System Master Plan forthe Gtyof Huatwhich included computerized modeling of the firy's water system, a written report, software acquisition and training for Hurst Public Works staff. Theprojectwasperformedtoevoluateewstingsystems and plan for future expansion and growth of the distri bution system. The Liry of Hurst is more thon 90 percent built-out and dces not anticipate ezpansion of its current boundaries. The projed focused on operational issues such as energy efficienry, redudion of peaking charges for purchosed water and qualiry issues resulting from mixing well water ond surface water. A GIS system was linked to the hydraulic modeling sohware Cybernet, ta assist visualizing patterns and trends in water use and compare the outcome of several design scenarias. Our GIS staH developed digitized data of water lines and complete attributing for all features. The projedwas performed in hvo parts. Part One involved generalized camputer modeling of the Hurst Water Distribution System in order to analyze the system's operational efficienry and determine the most cost-effedive system enhancements. This phase included data colledion from water system maps, topographic maps, land use maps, previous water distribution system master plans, water-use studies, population figures and as-builtconstrudion plans. Next, water usages were analyzed; ond a model was created for evaluating the system. A future system model was developed to reflect projected system changes in configuration, operatians and water demand. Our engineers then seleded various operatianal scenarios for anolysis by computer madeling and then prepared a report which outlinedtheresultsoftheanalysis. Designated Public Works staff were hained on the detoils of the water system modeling an an ongoing basis throughout the development of the study. Training for basic manipulation of the data in the system was also provided. Part Twa of the projed required Carter 8 Burgess to oddress the (iry's abiliry to meet current and proposed state ond federal water qualiry regulations, and conduct a park irrigationstudy. Regulatory issues evaluated included Lead and Copper Rule, Surface WaterTreatmenf Rule, Information Colledion Rule, Disinfedion and Disinfection By-product Rule, and Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule. Forthe park irrigation study, alternative sources of irrigation were investigated for three [iry of Hurst parks. Engineers investigated treated wastewater effluent and local water well supplies as potential sources of i rrigation, reviewed the potential availabiliry ofsuch sources, and prepared a report Carter ::Burgess 6 Proposal Comprehensive Water Distribution System Audit ~ of the costs, potential regulatory ramifimtions, and a rost/ benefit analysis for each of the three City parks. Rowlett Water System 1 mprovements/ Elevated Tank Rowlett, Texas (arter 8 Burgess completed a number of projects as part of a major improvement of the Rowlett woter system.

The ciry is in the geographimlcenterofthemunryandisapproximotely 16 miles south of the Red River. Paris is 90 miles southwest of Tezarkono, and 105 miles northeast of Dalias. The papulation of Paris is 25,898 based on the 2000 Census data. The historical papulation data for Paris and Lamar Counry are presented in Figure 2. Lamar (ounty experienced ropid growth through 1920, and then ezperienced declining papulation until 1960, at which time a steady population increase began again. the major objedive of this projed is to identi{ythe sources of the unbilled water. In order to incorporate the results of this project inta the on-going rate study, the time frame for completing this projed is two to three months. The Ciry's distribution system is shown as a simplified schematic diagram in Figure 3: The system mrrentiy has 9,900 billed accounts, and provides water to 174 meters thatarelwo-inchesorlarger. Additionally,theLamarCounry Water Supply Corporation is a relatively lorge customer of the Ciry of Paris. The residentiaVcommercial custamers average daily consumption was 2.6 million gallons during thepreviausyear. Foracitywithapopulationof25,898, this is equal to a per mpita mnsumption of 100 gpcd, which is very reasonable. Unbilled, or unaccounted for, water can be the result of a number of different fadars induding: The population of Paris has been steadily growing. The trend analysis indicatesthat Paris has added approximately 187 people per year since 1850. This normally translates to approzimately 60 new houses per year. Much of the growth can be attributed to the steady inHuz of manufaduring intotheCityofParis. The(iryhasseverallargeemployers including Campbell Soup, Kimberly-Clark, Sara Lee, ond Turner International Piping. Additionally, the health care industryis a large employer in the City. The Ciry experienced o major fire in 1916, and all of the downtown area was reportedly lost. The CBD wos reconstruded, and most of the water lines in the central portion ofthe cirywere construded during the 1920's. Project Background The Ciry is wrrendy experiencing an unacceptably high amount of unbilled water in the drinking water system, and Carteri-Burgess * Customersthatarenatmetered: • Parks • Water main flushing • Fire protection • Consiruction • Streetwashing • Cityi«igafion * Leakage in the system +t Inacaratemeters * Inaccurate billing software * Meters that have been pulled and replaced with jumpers 15 Proposal Comprehensive Water Distribution System Audit I * Metea that are too large for the appliwtion and do not read at low consumption levels To determine the source of the unbilled water in the system, several important areas of the utiliry operation need to be evaluated. Theseareasareidentifiedinthefollowingitems: rt An evaluation of the installation and accurary of various meters installed in the City's system must be performed. * Investigate and estimate the amount of unbilled water used bythe Ciryand other customers. * The existing billing saftware should be examined to canfirm thatthere are no under-billed accaunts. * Thepossibleleakageinthesystemmustbeevaluated to determine the eztent of the problem, and to identi{y, in so far as possible, the areas with most of the leaks. * Determine the feasibiliry af ineter replacements to reduce the amount of unbilled water in the system. Project Approach Problem Identification The firyof Paris produces approximately 12 to 15 M6D of water on on average day. The typical consumption for residentiaVrommercial uses is reported to be 2.6 MGD. Therefore about 10 to 12 MGD of water is being supplied to major customers. The first adion should be to confirm that the meters far the major cusromers are reasonably accurate. The Grystaff has a number of these metersthat are routinely colibrated as partofthe normal operations; therefore, this portion of the projed should proceed rapidly. Additionally, the master meter's (the 42-inch meter) calibration needs to be wnfirmed, since that is the basis for much of the dotn that have been gathered. Checking Carter nBurgess calibration of the master meter appears to be reasonably straight forward, and the volumetric procedure described helow will be used. Flow Meter installation The (arter 8 BurgessTeam will visitthe meters identified by Cirystaff andevaluatetheinstallatian. The evaluation will be conduded for the following reasons: * To determine if ihe installation of the meter mn have an adverse impact on the accuracy, and * Toevaluatethelocotianandinstallationforsubsequent in situ mlibration. The Team wil I document the canditions at each meter location by preparing a field sketch ofthe instailation and o6taining digital phatographs. Installation Errors The most common errors in installing flow meters are: * Lacating the meter in a position where it dces not flow full. * Failing to provide the upstream and dawnstream conditions necessory to minimize turbulence in the meter. 16 Proposal Comprehensive Water Distribution System Audit I * Allawing air to enter the process flow, resulting in metering error. * Failuretoproperlygroundtheinsfruments,resulting in induced errar in the eledronic components. * Installingameterthatisover-sizedfortheflawtobe measured. * Installing the meter in a location that makes future maintenance impossible. Meter Accuracy The accuracy of flow meters is a common problem encountered in the water industry. The science that deals with accuracy in measurements is metrology, and there have been numeraus books written on the issues associated with o6taini ng measurements that are both accurote and precise. In the United States, the Notional Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), which used to be known as the National Bureau of Standards, is the organization that is charged withsupportingmetralogyatthenationalscale. Therefore, in a purest sense, all measurements should be traceabie to NIST. Error in Flow metering systems is introduced byeach element used in the flow measuring process. (onsider a venturi tube system that consists of the venturi tube, the differential pressure transmitter, and the indicator/recorder. Each of the three devices has some intemal error that cantributes to the overall error of the measured flow. It is important to realize that these errors ore multiplimtive, not additive. In Situ Meter Calibration Several techniques can be used to perform in situ meter calibration, or to check the accuracy of ineters that are currently in service. The techniques that are most applicable to the Ciry of Paris' praject are dismssed in the following paragraphs. Carter i-Burgess Volumetric Calibration The volumetric calibration method consists of timing the increase or decreose in water volume in a tank or basin of knowngeometry. Thetechniquerequiresthatthegeometry of the volumetric tank be well-known, that the chonge in water surface elevation can be determined relatively accurately, and that the time between differentelevations mn be measured with reasonable accurary. When perfarmed rorrectly, valumetric mlibrotion is among the most accurote methods for calibrating flow meters. The method is ohen referred to as the "bucket and stop wotch" procedure, which is descriptive terminalogy, but does not indicate the relative complexiry of the procedure. The pracedure involves the measurement of three separate parameters: the volume of the tonk, the change in water surface elevation, and the time. For the procedure to be accurate, all three measurements must be preformed with reasonable accurary. Tracer Dilution Method The tracer dilution method of in situ calibration consistsof odding a known amount of the tracer to the process flow and determining the concentratian in the process flow downstreamafthemetertobecalibrated. Figure4shows o typical tracer dilution set up, and the equipment requirements are minimal. A calibrated container for the tracer is required to confirm the rote atwhich the metering pumpisaddingthetracertatheprocessflow. Theremust6e iwa taps in place, one through which to add the tracer, and the ather from which to col led the downstream sample. The flow in process is calculated from the following simple equation: q x _ (O+q) x C, where q is the flow rate of the tracer, C, is the concentration of the tmcer in the tracer solution container, 0 is the process flow rate, and Cz is the concentration of the tracer in the downstream wmple. 17 Proposal Comprehensive Water Distribution System Audit ~ As an example, for a tmcer concentration, of 50,000 mg/L, and a trocer flow rate of 0.01 gpm, and a downstream tracer concentration of 5.0 mg/l, the process flow rate is calculated as, 0.05 x 50,000 =(Q + 0.05) x 5.0 500=5Q+0.05 0 =100.01 gpm Theseledionofthetraceriscritical. Thetracercannatread with any of the ather compounds i n the process flow for the procedure to be accurate. Additianally,itisdesirobletouse a tracer that is not present in the process flow, because the need for o bockground sample upstream of the point of traceraddition iseliminoted. Mizing in fhe pipeline is imporfant. The basic assumptian is thatthe tracer will be uniformly mixed with the process flow so that the downstream tracer roncentmtion measured is on occurate indication ofthe adual downstream concentration. The rate of tracer oddition must be known with good accurary for this method to be used. The rate of tracer addition is usually determined bytiming the draw down in the calibrated tracer cantainer. for this reason a groduated rylinder is usually used as the container. The metering pump must pump at a constant rate, therefore, multiple volume readings are token on the mlibrated container. Transfer Standard The use of a transfer standard to calibrate flow meters is relatively common place; however, it is important to document that the transfer standard is properly mlibrated. Transfer standards used for flow meter calibration usually include either clamp-on ultrasonic meters or pitat tubes. If used mrredly, either instrument can function adequatelyas a transfer standnrd. A rypical transfer standard installation isshown in Figure 5. It is important that the recommendations for proving an undisturbed flow path both upstream and downstream of Carter -Burgess the transfer standord be fol lowed. Additional Iy, the transfer standard should 6e calibrated before gaing to the field, and after being used in the field. For pitat tubes, the assumptian that the averoge flow in the pipe is being measured is impodant. Pipes exhibit a parabolic velocity profile, and multiple measurements are required to obtain accurote results. Aker evaluating each meter's installatian, the Corter 8 Burgess Team will use the in situ calibration procedure that is mast appropriate for each meter. Leak Detection The location of leaks in the distribution system can be very challenging. One of the most common ways to locate leaks is to use geophones and listen for leaks in the system. This procedure is generally quite precise, and it will pravide some relative indication of the size of the leak. However, the procedure is best employed when the approximate location of the leak is known. For a distribution system wide study the ezclusive use af sonic detection methods is generally cost prohibitive. Fortunately, there are some steps that con be taken to narrow down the areasto be investigated. In most cities the night- time water consumptian for residentiaVcommercial uses is quitesmall,especiallybetween2amond4am. Duringthis ti me, portions of the distribution system can be isolated and water elevations in the elevated tanks monitoied. falling water elevotions are an indication of possible leoks. 18 Proposal Comnrehensive Water Distribution System Audit Depending on the size of the elevated tank, a very large leak may be required to permit detedion bythis method. For instonce, a rypical 500,000-gallon elevated tank has a bowl with a 55-foot diameter. The bowl volume is 17,111 gallons per foot, and if a one-faot draw down is needed in a rivo-hour time, the minimum leakage rate that can be deteded is 150 gpm. For a 1 MG elevoted tank with a 70- foot diameter bowl, the minimum leak detedion rate would 6e 250 gpm. An alternative method is to iwlate porfions of the distribution system and pressure test the system with a portable pump and water storage tank. The pump can be conneded diredly to the outlet on anyfire hydrant, and the leakage measured reasonable preciselywith a conventional water meter. Once the areas with high leakage potential have been identified, sonic leak detedion methods will be employed to confirm the locations of mojor leaks. Review Of Billing Procedures The Carter & Burgess management cansulting staff will review the ezisting billing system with the abjedives af: * IdentityinginadiveaccauntsthatoreaUuallyactive. * Determiningthesmallusers. * Identifying the large users, and checking the meter size. * Identifying duplicate ocrounts. * Identifying unbilled customers, and determining how to colled revenue. Additionally, the metered revenues, meter routes, meter schedules, etc. will be carefully reviewed and evaluated, and farter 8 Burgess will prepare recommendations on improvements to the system. Meter and Billing Activities Review * Determinetheeztentofandreasonsforunaccounted for water. • Gather dato on "noncustomer" metered/non- metered flows to occount for uses nat billed to customers such as main flushing, fire usage, sewer deoning, hydrant testing, and other municipal adivity usage. • Compare customer metered consumption with purchased woteramounts on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis noting any changes in comparative data during peak and non-peak periods. • Determine the remaining unaccounted for water amaunt afrer considering estimates of the known uses noted above. • Consider sedioning-off selected portions of the distribution system for more detailed analysis of unacrounted for water if warwnted bythe obove analysis. * Review the procedures and processes of managing meter adivities.
