The scope of this project includes, but is not limited to, the following: replacement of the existing phosphate feed system at Pump Station Nos. 1, 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 22, 24, 25, and 39 with a system to feed blended ortho-polyphosphate to the water distribution system. The design is intended to improve operation and maintenance by standardizing equipment and minimizing chemical handling. Work includes new chemical tanks, transfer pumps, and feed pumps along with all piping, electrical and instrumentation to provide a complete working system as described herein. The chemical system will be automated with SCADA control capability to transfer chemical from the bulk storage tanks to day tanks and ultimately feed product to the distribution system. The proposed system configuration at each pump station has been developed to meet the City's goal to limit structural and architectural modifications or expansion. New prefabricated fiberglass structures will be installed at four (4) of the sites to house the proposed equipment; PS 8, 12, 14, & 22, while the work at the other sites will be within the existing facilities.
