Map of Current Water System (section relevant for EWB-MAP modifications) RED lines – supply lines to tank (uphill by pump) BLUE lines – distributions lines by gravity

Piping System Layout New Pipelines Supply Line 1 to new tank (A-B-C) – Length = 365 m + tank connection (assume + 10 m) = 375 m – 1 bend, 1 tee, 3 elbow, 2 valves, 1 exit – 17 m elevation rise + tank height – Hill rises to 643 m then valley falls t0 640 m on connecting road (D-B) – ~175 gpm flowrate Distribution line connection 2a from lower Tramo 3b to lower Tramo 6 (E-F) – 105 m length, elevation change unclear, guess 10 m drop Distribution connection 2b from upper Tramo 3b to upper Tramo 6 (B-D) – 120 m length, 8 meter drop with low point at 640 m (3 m below D) Distribution line 2c from new tank to new connections (C-B-E) – 255 m length, 11 meter elevation drop Waypoints PointLocationElevation ACalle Principal638 m BIntersection at Field 651 m CNew tank655 m DEnd of upper Tramo 6 643 m EEnd of lower Tramo 3b 640 m FEnd of lower Tramo 6 ??

Supply Pipe 1 Trenching Based on recommendations from EWB Water Resource Guidelines: – 45 cm trench depth – 10 cm bedding (2-12 mm soil) if stones/rocks present in trench – Back-fill with soil that is free of lumps, from stones (>3 cm), and from organic matter – PVC pipe joined in trench and cure for >10 hr prior to pressurizing. Keep joints exposed to check for leaks – For road crossing, bury PVC pipe inside steel or concrete pipe (ID > diameter of PVC joints) and bury at same depth as standard trench 45 cm trench depth 10 cm bedding

EPA-NET Simulation for Supply Line 1 Matches Excel Calculations
19
Questions about Supply Pipe 1 Depth of trench for buried pipe – Along side of road – Road crossing Design of valve boxes Design of thrust blocks for turns in pipe Details of connection from pipeline to tank Prices of available PVC pipe in ES Need for an air bleed at high-point between points A-D Need for expansion fittings to accommodate settlement – where, how?
