The proposed waterline to supply this site will connect to the existing 8" lines constructed with Spring Creek Gardens, Phase 1 and Spring Creek Townhomes, Phase 1. The water main will be constructed using 6" and 8" diameter pipe, which will be constructed of DR-14, PVC pipe meeting the requirements of AWWA C-909 with mechanical joint fittings 2.0 FIRE FLOW REQUIREMENTS The flow required for fire hydrant flow for the subdivision is 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm), for each fire hydrant proposed for this subdivision. 3.0 WATERLINE SYSTEM ANALYSIS The waterline system was analyzed using the WaterCAD computer program developed by Haestad Methods, Inc. Exhibit"A" is a schematic of the proposed waterline, which shows the locations of the fire hydrant. A normal domestic use flow of 1.5 gpm was included in the analysis for each residential lot and the future townhome lots. This results in a normal demand of 108 gpm, which was included in the analysis. The residual pressures in the existing 12" waterline was based on a flow of 1,500 gpm for the existing line. Exhibit"B" has the results of a pressure/flow test from a fire hydrant connected to the existing 12" waterline on Decatur Drive. A static pressure of 104 psi and a residual pressure of 102 psi with the hydrant flow at 1,500 gpm were determined by City of College Station Public Utility personnel for the fire hydrant nearest this project. The proposed waterline will also connect to the existing 8" line in Phase 1 of the Spring Creek Townhomes. This line connects to a 12" line on Arrington Road. To simplify the analysis, it was assumed the proposed line is supplied only from Phase 1 of Spring Creek Gardens. A conservative approach was taken and an assumed residual pressure of 70 psi at a flow of 1,000 gpm was used for this analysis instead of the 100+psi value determined by the flow test. The computer model was run with a fire flow of 1,000 gpm at each fire hydrant proposed for this project. Exhibit"C" is a summary of the pipe system junction nodes with a fire flow of 1,000 gpm from Fire Hydrant No. 2. The lowest residual pressure occurred in the system at Junction J-13, which is at the connection to the existing 8" waterline in Phase 1 of the Spring Creek Townhomes. The pressure at this point is estimated by the model to be 62.6 psi, which exceeds the minimum of 20 psi required by the TCEQ regulations. Exhibits "D" & "E" are summaries of the pipe sections for the system under this demand scenario. The maximum velocity for the 8" water main is 7.1 feet per second, and occurs in Pipe P-1. A separate analysis was run for the domestic use of 1.5 gpm per unit. The minimum pressure for this scenario, 69.2 psi at Junction .1-3 as shown on Exhibit"F." is well above the minimum requirement of 35 psi. Minor losses in this system were not calculated, as they were assumed to be insignificant. 4.0 CONCLUSIONS The waterlines proposed for this development should adequately provide the fire flow required with acceptable values for headloss and velocity. This analysis was done assuming adequate residual pressure in the existing 12" water main, as determined by the pressure/flow test. Also, the connection of the proposed lines to the existing line in the townhomes to form a loop was not included in this analysis.
