<br />' wastewater collection and the existing WWTF have capacity to provide wastewater <br /> service for the proposed development area under all three scenarios. However, <br /> under Scenario 3, 85% to over 90% of the capacity of sections of the existing trunk <br />' sewer system along Twin Lakes Road from 179th Avenue NW to 171St Avenue would <br /> be utilized during estimated peak hour flow conditions. Also under Scenario 3, <br /> approximately 97% of the current pumping capacity of the TH 169 Lift Station <br />would be utilized during estimated peak hour flow conditions <br /> . <br />' The estimated wastewater flows and characteristics for each of the development <br />scenarios as well as the proposed means for providing wastewater service to the <br /> study area is describe in the following paragraphs for each scenario. <br />' Scenario 1 <br /> In this scenario, development would be consistent with the City's current <br /> Comprehensive Plan (2004). It will be assumed that the rural residential units on <br /> the west side of TH 10 will be connected to the sanitary sewer system and each <br /> single family residential connection will generate an average of 200 gpd. An average <br />1 daily wastewater flow of 1,200 gpd/acre will be used for Highway Commercial and <br /> 700 gpd/acre will be used for Light Industrial. A peaking factor of 3.9 will be used to <br /> determine the peak hour flow from the overall AUAR area. The portion of the study <br />' area west of TH 10 would consist of 8 acres rural residential, 48 acres light <br /> industrial, 7 acres highway business, and 14 acres of open space. Therefore, the <br /> estimate average day wastewater flow from the portion of the study area west of TH <br />' 10 is 0.043 MGD and the peak hour wastewater flow is 0.17 MGD. <br />The portion of the study area east of TH 10, between TH 10 and the Burlington <br />Northern Railroad would consist of 57 acres highway business, 34 acres light <br />industrial, and 75 acres of agricultural research. The estimate average day <br />wastewater flow from this portion of the study area under Scenario 1 would be <br />0.092 MGD and the peak hour wastewater flow is 0.36 MGD. <br />i~ <br />i~ <br />i~ <br />i~ <br />i~ <br />i~ <br />Future wastewater flow for the study area under Scenario 1 is shown below in <br />Table 18-3. <br />Table 18-3.
