SUMMARY/KEY POINTS
• Town staff view this as a critical piece of infrastructure which has been delayed by land acquisition issues.
• The Town interviewed four consultants for this project and determined that Burns & McDonnell was the most qualified to complete the design.
BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The 2020 Potable Water Plan identified the need for an additional Zone 3 4.3MG storage tank in the southwest corner of the Erie Planning Boundary. A siting study was conducted and several sites were evaluated. Ultimately the Town of Erie acquired a parcel of land from the City of Lafayette for this project. Further, Zone 4A is fed from booster pumps drawing from the Zone 3 discharge header at the Town’s Lynn R. Morgan Water Treatment plant. An alternatives analysis for a new booster pump station (or alternative solution) connecting this new Zone 3 storage tank with Zone 4A is required to increase fire flow timing. Finally, a transmission pipeline design is needed to connect this new tank to Zone 3, as well as to the Lynn R Morgan Water Treatment Plant.
