WHY DO WE NEED A TREATMENT PLANT?

Friday, June 16, 2017 3

Manganese

• Historically an aesthetic issue– 5 parts per billion (ppb) to avoid staining

• Regulated by MassDEP due to potential health effects– 300 ppb for lifetime of healthy adult– 300 ppb for children, infants for 10 days– 1000 ppb for 10 days for health adult

Treatment Methods

• Iron & Manganese Removal– Potassium Permanganate, Sodium Hypochlorite, and Greensand Plus Filters

• Corrosion Control– Aeration, Potassium Hydroxide, and Phosphates

• Disinfection– Sodium Hypochlorite

• Fluoridation– Sodium Fluoride

Transmission MainsConvey water from sources to the treatment plant.

Mains laid on:• North Street

• Boardman  to Ipswich• Ipswich Road

• North to Route 1• Averill Street• Perkins Row

• #250 to Meetinghouse• Meetinghouse Lane• Howlett Street

• Meetinghouse to Route 1

Project Costs• Bids opened on May 31st

• Contract #1 – Water Treatment Plant– Low bid of $7.316 million

• Contract #2 – Transmission Mains– Low bid of $1.523 million

• Professional Services– Designer ‐ $784,000– OPM ‐ $256,000

• Project Cost with contingency ‐ $10.4 million– $9.25 million from borrowing– $1.15 million from Retained Earnings / Warrant Articles

Friday, June 16, 2017 13

Rate Impacts

• Water Enterprise Fund– Isolated from tax rate– Project costs recovered through water rates & fees

Friday, June 16, 2017 14

Rate Impacts

• Annual increase of $1.22 per day for average customer– Based on:

• FY2017 water rates• Conservative interest rate• Aggressive repayment schedule

Friday, June 16, 2017 15

Project Benefits

• Water Quality Improvements– Manganese removal

• Pilot testing showed virtually all Mn removed

– More robust corrosion control• Further reduce lead & copper corrosion

– Plant designed to meet Groundwater Rule• Minimum disinfectant contact time requirement

– Water more of a finished product leaving plant

QUESTIONS?

Friday, June 16, 2017 17

Booster Station

• WTP site situated on hill, low pressure• Requires fire suppression system• Booster station needed• Will be sized to supply Public Works Building

Friday, June 16, 2017 18

Boston Street Tank Altitude Valve

Friday, June 16, 2017 19

Corrosion Control

• Lead & Copper Rule Compliance

• pH Adjustment– Started in mid‐1990’s– 20+ years in compliance

• EPA changed guidelines– Requires additional treatment method to meet current guidelines – Aeration
