Princeton Water Line ProjectThe County Manager reported to the board that Southern Railway had agreedto grant the county a water Fine easement on railroad right -of -way between PineLevel and Princeton at an annual rent of 2,200I,hi,ft471October 1, ?ContinuedHe stated he had written the railroad company asking them to reconsiderthis charge which he felt to be excessive, as the county had never before beenasked to pay an annual rent for a water or sewer easementTim Broome, Engineer, Ragsdale Consultants, made the following report,pursuant to the request of the Board of CommissionersPrinceton Water LineWater ua i y onsiderations We have evaluated the operational conditionsof a number of transmission main installations, particularly concerning detentiontimes versus the occurrence of bacteria We have also researched applicable technicalliterature on the subject We have found that without a satisfactory chlorine residual,unsanitary conditions ie growth of bacteria can occur with detention timesof only a few days With a suitable chlorine residual maintained in the pipelinesusually by chlorine addition via remote booster stations, satisfactory water qualitycan be maintained with residence times of five to eight daysWith a 16 diameter main from PineLevel toPrinceton, theminimum recommendeddelivery rate to Princeton to hold thedetentiontime in thepipeline under eightdays is approximately 60,000 gpd If a12 mainwere installed between Pine Leveland Princeton, the minimum required deliverywould be 45,000gpd In either event,a chlorine booster station must be installed between PineLevel and PrincetonThe contract documents for the proposedmain doinclude sucha station A chlorinebooster station will be required whether a16 mainor 12 main isinstalledWater Quantity Considerations We have previouslylimits for various pipeline sizes from Princeton to theshould be based not only on the normal usage andthe Princeton area, but on the capacity for deliverythe central portion of the County if the County chooseemploy the Little River as a future supply sourcereported on supply capacitySmithfield-Selma area Sizeemergency supply needs ofof water from Princeton tos to maintain its option toWith a single 16 diameter pipeline from Princeton to Selma, the reasonableor practical supply capacity would be 20 MGD, If a 12 diameter segment wereinstalled between Princeton and Pine Level, the practical supply capacity wouldbe reduced to 15 MGD Conversely, with a 16 main from Pine Level to Princetonan amount of 115 to 125 MGD could be delivered from the Smithfield -Selma areato Princeton The lower flow figure represents gravity flow, the higher figurerepresents flow conditions with the County booster station at Jones Brothers FurnitureCompany operat i ng With a 12 diameter segment installed between Pine Leveland Princeton, the supply capacity from the Smithfield -Selma area would be reducedto 085 -094 MGD, a reduction of approximately 25Although the projected water usage of the Princeton area is considerablyless than either of these two flow ranges, it is desirable to have an adequatelylarge delivery rate for fire protection purposes In event of an emergency, theCounty supply facilities serve to refill depleted elevated water storage tanks onthe towns systemRecommendations We have carefullyconsidered the information and dataconcerning water qualityand quantity forthe proposedPine Level to Princetonwater transmission mainAccordingly, we believe that itis in the best interestof the County and the Town of Princeton toinstall a 16diameter main from PineLevel to Princeton Ourrecommendation isbased on thedelivery capacity fromthe Smithfield -Selma areato Princeton andthe desirabilityto maintain the optionof future water supply fromLittle River in Princetoninto theCounty systemThe County Commissioners and engineers being concerned about the sizeof line needed for Princeton, because of a recent problem with water standingin the water line between Selma and Pine Level and becoming contaminated, realizethis could cause a similar problem in the line going to Princeton The Board ofCommissioners asked that the County Manager and engineers meet with PrincetonCommissioners to determine how much water Princeton will need and draw fromthe line before the county builds the connecting water line13 Personnel Policy AmendedUpon a
