RECOMMENDATIONS
- 5 Pump Station Capacity Upgrades
- 1 New Groundwater Well
- 7,000 LF Dedicated Transmission Main
- 2 Pump Station Rehabilitations
- Various PRV Adjustments
- 7 Backup Generators at Pump Stations
- 6 Backup Generators at Wells
Visual Condition Assessment
Reservoirs, Pump Stations, & Wells
Evaluate site conditions
Inspect mechanical & electrical equipment
Conduct structural observations
Review reports
(SCE tests, inspections etc.)
