CMP Part 4C. Water Supply <br /> PROPOSED WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS <br /> General <br /> The major water system components have been evaluated in the previous sections. A <br /> detailed description of the proposed improvements is presented in this section. <br /> Water Supply <br /> The Navarre Water System currently has two wells with a firm capacity of 0.6 MGD. <br /> During the last four years, the maximum daily demand has averaged less than 0.5 MGD, <br /> which means the current water system has excess capacity. The service area of the Navarre <br /> Water System is close to full development so the population growth within the service area <br /> is expected to be minimal. Based off the current capacity of the wells and the expected <br /> population growth, no additional wells are needed for the Navarre Water System. <br /> The Highway 12 Water System was recently upgraded from one well which ran nearly 24 <br /> hours per day during the summer,to two wells. The firm capacity is 0.6 MGD. Based off <br /> the current capacity of the wells and the expected population growth, no additional wells <br /> are needed for the Navarre Water System. <br /> Treatment Facilities <br /> The objective of a water system is to provide quality water that is fit for domestic and <br /> commercial use. The City currently does not have any major water quality issues that need <br /> to be addressed, or major outstanding issues with both the Navarre WTP and the Highway <br /> 12 Well House <br /> Water Storage <br /> As discussed previously,the Navarre Water System has a current storage deficit of 20,000 <br /> gallons using the average day criteria and a storage deficit of 267,000 gallons using the <br /> maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria. The existing storage <br /> capacity is very close to meeting the current average demand and very little growth is <br /> expected in the Navarre Distribution System. Therefore, it is concluded that storage <br /> capacity is not needed at this time. If the City sees an increase in water demand for the <br /> Navarre System it we-may want to consider additional storage that would also meet the <br /> maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria. <br /> The Highway 12 Water System currently meets the average day criteria and has a storage <br /> deficit of 67,500 gallons using the maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage <br /> criteria. Given that the existing storage meets the average day criteria and nearly meets the <br /> maximum day, fire protection, and emergency storage criteria, additional storage is not <br /> needed at this time. As water demands increase the City will need to consider added <br /> storage for the Highway 12 Water System. <br /> Distribution System <br /> City of Orono Community Management Plan 2020-2040 Part 4C, Page 18 <br />
