CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of August 21, 1990 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: John C. Hutton, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: Approval of Emergency Resolution for the Date: August' 13, 1990 Construction of a Water Tank at Well #22 BACKGROUND: Well #22 is located in Dauer Park and serves the Cooley Ranch area. The well has continually experienced air problems. Last year the well was lowered in an attempt to alleviate the problem, however, more air was found at the lower depth. The residents and businesses in the area are being effected by the excess of air in their lines. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: Staff has met with JF Davidson to discuss alternatives to eliminate the air problem. One alternative is not to use the well until the new reservoir is built in the Reche Canyon area and then have the well pump directly into the reservoir, however, the actual construction of the reservoir is not scheduled until late 1991 and the well is needed now in order to meet the City's water demands. The other alternative is to construct a water tank at the well site and have the well pump directly into the tank,removing the air before entering the distribution system. San Luis Tank and Piping has quoted the City $64,939 for a 25'x16' tank, coated and graveled at the bottom. The tank can be in operation in 3 weeks. ALTERNATIVES: Wait until the future 3 million gallon tank is constructed, scheduled for late summer of 1991. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds exist in the Collins Reservoir account #21-9927-89 for this project. Attachments: Page 1 of—_._ 1 �L�.L RECORDS Item No.�— FILE NO. -_! `'-'_�.............C/ d-
