Requesting Department Public Works Date for Water Board Action ~ecember 2, 1981 Description of Item: Request to purchase larger water storage facilities for Tracts 4188 & 4190; located adjacent to Stockdale Highway, a quarter-mile west of Allen Road. 2. Comments: The developer proposes to construct a 126,000 gallon water storage tank. For an additional $14,000 this tank can be enlarged to 210,000 gallons. Enlarging the storage capacity will provide additional water for fire fighting and will serve an additional 1S0 R-1 lots. This project has been reviewed with Stetson Engineers and California Water Service Co.; they recommend the additional storage capacity of 100,000 gallons and the Staff & City Fire Departmen~ agree with this recommendation. Funds are available from budget savings on the Two Hillion Gallon Water Storage Project. 3.

DALE HAWLEY, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS FFtOM JOHN 11. HANSEN, DOHESTIC WATER SUPERINTENDENT SUBJECT WATER STOILAGE FACILITIES FOR TRACTS 4188, 4189 & 4190 The water storage facilities for Tracts 4188, 4189 and 4190 are located a quarter of mile west of the intersection of Allen Road and Stockdale Highway and are within the Ashe Water Service Area. The developer, "John Friis Jacobsen Trust Company", represented by a Mr. Bill Carter, is constructing the water distribution facilitics and the supply (including storage) facilities. The minimum, storage capacity required for 200 lots (total for the three tracts) is 126,000 gallons (based on fire requirements & Stetson Engineers Master Plan concept.) However, Califor~ia Water Service recommended to.the City that a larger storage tank be constructed, and the C.ity Fire Department would also like additional capacity. As this water system is separated by two (2) miles from the main Ashe Water System, the additional storage capacity is advisable. As a result~ the developer was asked to obtain prices for a 126,000 gallon storage tank and 210,000 gallon storage tank. .In accordance with Operational Rules, the water company may oversize any facility providing the contractor is compensated for the cost difference between the required and the oversized facility. S.A. Camp Pump Co. was the Iow bidder. Their price was $41,000 for the 126,000.gallon tank and $55,000 for the 210,000 gallon tank. The cost difference is $14,000 for the oversizing. Therefore, it is recommended that a 210,000 gallon water storage tank be installed at a cost to the City of $14,000. Currently there are funds available from savings in the two million gallon water storage system in the Laurelglen Area. Therefore, it is recommended that $14,000 be allocated to the Water .Storage Facilities for Tracts 4].88, 4189 & 4190. dh
