14 <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS - WATER CIP <br /> <br />The existing watermain system consists of pipe ranging between 6” to 12”. Pipe materials include PVC and <br />ductile iron. There are approximately 74,700 feet of pipe in the South System and approximately 41,450 feet <br />in the North System. The East System has approximately 8,650 feet of pipe. The majority of the watermain <br />was installed between 1967 and 2011. The City has two water towers. The south tower has a 200,000 gallon <br />tank and was built in 1971. The north tower has a 400,000 gallon tank and was built in 1992. The City also <br />has three existing wells; two in the South System and only one in the North System. <br /> <br />The life cycle of a watermain depends on several factors including the quality of construction, the type of <br />material used in construction, and soil conditions. In growing communities it is also possible for a watermain <br />to become functionally obsolete if the size of the main prevents the system from meeting demand. In general, <br />a well constructed watermain system can have a life of 50 or more years. <br /> <br />Projects identified in the Water CIP include the costs associated with maintaining and improving the water <br />system such as equipment rehabilitation, watertower maintenance, and watermain improvements and <br />replacement. <br /> <br />Proposed Improvements <br />2016 <br />• Water Infrastructure Monitoring - $35,000 <br />• Install Well #4 - $350,000 <br />• North Water Extension - $600,000 <br />• Well #1 Inspection and Maintenance - $20,000 <br />• West Lafayette Main replacement - $75,000 <br />2017 <br />• Watermain Improvement Planning - $200,000 <br />• Well #1 Inspection and Maintenance - $20,000 <br />2018 <br />• Well #3 Rehabilitation - $20,000 <br />• Watermain Improvement Planning - $206,000 <br />2019 <br />• Watermain Improvement Planning - $212,180 <br />• West Lafeyette Main Replacement - $75,000 <br />2020
