Discuss boosted pressure zone in northwest corridor - Superintendent
Kloskowski gave background information on this issue going back to the when
Lakewood Meadows requested the City take over the water system.
Superintendent Kloskowski noted Lakewood Meadows now has better water
quality, but there is possibly less pressure. Aid. Borgman referred to the practice
burn by the fire department that left the subdivision without water. Aid. Borgman
questioned the possibility of using the existing well (Well 12) for fire flows as
discussed at the last meeting. Mr. Schultz explained the well could be pumped
into the reservoir and used for fire flows. Pumping would have to be done on a
regular basis to keep the water fresh. To usE� the well as part of the municipal
system, investigation would need to be done for the tannins and bacteria. Mr.
Schultz noted the current system meets the DNR pressure requirements and fire
flows.
Director McMullen suggested extending the 12-inch water main on Hillendale and
Sunny Hill to interconnect into 16-inch line, which would be more than enough to
supply fire flows and additional residual pressure. A check valve will have to be
installed on Racine Ave. Aid. Borgman moved to direct staff to send letters
• to residents on Hillendale from Sunny Hill to Racine Ave for feedback on
• how many would be interested in connecting to municipal water.
Seconded by Ald. Snead. Motion carried 3-0. Director McMullen will put
together the costs for design and construction of the water main. This project will
be added to the next budget cycle and could be online April or May of next year.
Director McMullen will also send a copy of the letter to the residents along
Hillendale to the President of the Lakewood Meadows Homeowners Association.
