<br />{,'~~ ~) <br />u f,.J <br /> <br />MARCH 24, 1981 <br /> <br />TUESDAY <br /> <br />Advantages <br />1. Reasonable reliability of source. <br />2. Adequate source to at least year 2000. <br />3. Utilizes 10 mgd transmission capacity between existing reservoir <br />and filter plant. <br />4. Provides additional recreation. <br />5. High quality water expected. <br />6. Almost all, if not the entire reservoir area to be purchased, <br />is under one ownership. <br /> <br />Disadvantages <br />1. Requires purchase of large parcel of property. <br />2. Floods approximately 170 acres of land. <br />3. Permit and review process required. <br /> <br />2. Raise the existing Beaver Creek reservoir 10 feet and pump from Reed <br />Creek. This alternative would increase the storage capacity of Beaver <br />Creek reservoir and pump directly from Reed Creek into the reservoir <br />without the use of an impoundment on Reed Creek. <br /> <br />Capital Cost . . <br />Estimated Annual O&M Cost <br /> <br />$3,475,000 <br />120,000 <br /> <br />Advantages <br />1. Does not require purchase of large block of additional property. <br />2. Reasonable reliability of source. <br />3. Adequate source to at least year 2000. <br />4. Utilizes 10 mgd transmission capacity between existing reservoir <br />and filter plant. <br />5. High quality water expected. <br /> <br />Disadvantages <br />1. Permit and review process required. <br />2. Requires purchase of additional 70-80 acres of land surrounding <br />existing reservoir. <br />3. Downstream releases at existing reservoir could compound <br />situation. <br />4. Pumping large volumes required to replace storage and provide <br />normal 4 mgd. <br /> <br />3. Intake on Smith River. This alternative would involve an intake and <br />pumping station on the Smith River above Koehler which would pump <br />water to the existing filter plant. <br /> <br />Capital Cost . . <br />Estimated Annual O&M Cost <br /> <br />$1,768,000 <br />90,000 <br /> <br />Advantages <br />I. Relatively unlimited raw water availability and extremely <br />high reliability of source. <br />2. Low capital investment required as compared to Alternatives <br />I, 2 , 3 , and 5. <br />3. Route of transmission main can follow road, railroad, and Jones Creek. <br />4. Relatively low static head - 92+feet. <br />
