EXISTING CONDITIONS - A 78,000 steel ground storage tank, with raw water aeration- Country Club of Sebring Water Treatment Plant #9, Wells # 14 & 15 located at 3015 Haw Branch Road in Sebring. The existing water plant consists of 2 onsite wells, one 50 horsepower submersible well pump which supplies approximately 463 gallons per minute and a 60-horsepower vertical turbine well which supplies approximately 1,222 gallons per minute. The raw water is injected with liquid sodium hypochlorite as it is pumped to the elevated storage tank. PROPOSED CONDITIONS - This proposal in the accompanying application and plans is to add a 200,000 gallon ground storage tank with an eight tray (minimum), 2,500 gallon per minute (minimum) rain tray natural draft aerator with media. The rain-tray is different from a conventional tray cascade aerator in that the trays are deeper and contain plastic media to enhance the aeration and the water goes through holes in the bottom of the tray, rather than a cascade arrangement, which also enhances the aeration. Two direct drive exhaust fans for forced aeration will be installed as per the plans. A new pump house will be constructed containing the two new variable frequency drive (VFD) controlled high service pumps, each shall provide a minimum of 1,150 gallons per minute into the elevated storage tank (which will remain in place) and also be able to each pump a minimum of 1,150 gpm directly into the distribution system and maintain the pressure via the VFD controls. The two pumps will generally alternate, but also have the capability to pump at the same time to provide a much higher flow. It will be the plant operators' option to pump to the elevated tank or bypass it and pump directly to the system.
