This work represents an important step in the upgrade of the system, and significantly reduces risk of system failure to meet demand or water service interruption, due to pump failures as we have experienced in the last few years.
This important project represents the first major work in the repair and upgrade of the KCWD#1 System, per the District's DEQ approved Engineering Facility Plan. This project is being financed directly by the District, reserving the Bond approved SRF Loan and ARPA funding for other major portions of the plan.
The planned timeline for this work is as follows:
Monday/Tuesday, Nov. 7-8: Stage work operations in pump room; assemble new pump stack and motor. Pre-assemble new piping manifold with new production flow meter. Core drill the floor for new pump and place new pump mounting pad.
Wednesday, Nov. 9: Replace old piping with new piping; flush and pressure test new assembly for one (1) hour. Estimate system will be offline for five (5) hours from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Wednesday, Nov. 16: Install and connect new pump with VFD. Test for on-line application.
