This watermain improvement will route the output from Well #9 located <br />on Twin Lakes Parkway to the filter plant at Well #7 located on Twin Lakes Road. This <br />project will also re-route the output from Well #8 located off Twin Lakes Road to <br />connect into the water distribution system at Twin Lakes Road. The completion of this <br />project will improve the Utilities' ability to utilize Well #9 more effectively by allowing <br />it to function year round. Currently this well is utilized as a peaking well. The <br />watermain additions of this project are in accordance with the City's Trunk Utility Fund <br />policy and this request has been reviewed with the City Engineer and City Financial <br />Director. This project has been approved by the Utilities Commission contingent upon <br />City Council approval of the use of trunk funds. <br />Best Regards: <br />•~ <br />Troy Adams, P.E. <br />Utilities Director <br />Cc: David Berg -Water Superintendent <br />Justin Femrite, P.E. -City Engineer <br />Tim Simon -City Financial Director <br />File <br />
