Funding Requested: $7,193,160
Total Project Cost: $14,386,320
Project Summary:
The project consists of the design and construction of a new water treatment plant, a new finished water storage tank, and a water supply well, along with the necessary piping, treatment, and pumping systems. The water treatment plant will remove iron and manganese from the City’s existing Well 5 and proposed Well 6.
Background Information:
The City has historically supplied an adequate quantity of water to its residents, but water quality has been a persistent issue. Customer complaints are frequently related to colored water from naturally occurring iron and manganese in the City’s wells. A new finished water storage tank is needed because the City’s existing water tower does not provide adequate storage volume to meet 10 States Standards requirements that a water systems minimum storage capacity shall be at least equal to the average daily consumption. The existing water tower has a storage capacity of 200,000 gallons and the City’s average day water consumption over the last five years has been 230,000 gallons. The project will benefit public health within the community by providing safe drinking water with manganese concentrations below MDH’s Heath-Based Value limit.
