Memorandum
To: Board of Directors
From: Jessica Kosfiszer, Associate Water System Engineer
Date: September 2, 2005
Subject: Discussion of Design Criteria for Water System Piping,
1. WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD
Informational presentation for Design Criteria for water system pipe sizing.
2. HISTORY
The water system has experienced major growth in water usage. Many of the
transmission main lines were sized for the usage twenty to thirty years ago.
3. NEW INFORMATION
The impact of growth is requiring that additional flows be pumped to all areas of
the District. Many of the pipelines are under sized to accommodate the higher
flows. New pipelines need to be designed to accommodate the higher flows.
4. RECOMMENDATION
No action required.
