Re: Cleft Fanns Development Hydraulic Analysis
Contract No. 17012
Dear Jason:
As requested , Krebs has completed the analysis of the potenti al Impacts on the water d istribution
system from the Cleft Fanns development. It is our understanding that the development Will
generally be located north of Highway 72 between Wall Triana Highway and Balch Road .
Furthermore, It will consist of 350,000 sq-ft of commercial space, 1,150 dense residential
dwellings. and 100 residential estate sized lots. Krebs reviewed these dewlopment usages and
detennlned that an approximate 700 gpm total demand would account for both domesti c and
irrigation for the complete build out of the development. The demand assumptions were based
on industry standards. The flows were split 54 percent domestic and 46 percent irrigation. Th is
is based on historical meter data provided by Madison Utilities. The following summarizes the
Improvements/operational changes required to serve this new development.
1. It is recommended the new development connect to the existing 12--lnch water main along
Highway 72 In two locations to loop the feed .
2. PRV-9 (fer northern PRV on Hughes A:lad) Is required to be put into service with an
approximately pressure setting or 100 psi .
3. The Pump House Booster Pump Station would be required to pump approximately 800
gpm during a peal< f101N event and be available for use when the Keene Water Treatment
Plant is not in service.
We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve Madison Utilities in th is matter. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely yours ,
