(04)City of South Pittsburg $294,000 This Rural Development investment will be used to upsize the water main serving

the Coburntown Road area to 6-inch and to install a fire hydrant in that portion of the system. The Coburntown Road community, on the mountain ridge northwest of the city of South Pittsburg, Tenn. is served by an existing 3-inch water line. The water line is insufficient to provide fire protection flow to the residences and there are no fire hydrants in this vicinity. Per the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Community Public Water Design Criteria, the minimum size of water mains to which fire hydrants can be connected is 6-inches and the system should be capable of supplying a minimum of 500 gallons per minute at 20 psi for fire protection. By upsizing the water main serving this area to 6-inches and installing a fire hydrant near the top of the ridge, the system can support a fire truck filling station to improved fire suppression in this community. The fire department can fill a fire truck at the new hydrant, which will improve fire suppression response time for the fire department.

Monumental Public Service District $6,642,000 $5,139,000 This Rural Development investment will be used to make waterline replacements in areas along Finch Run, Moody Run, Davy Run, Gilboa Road, Paw Paw Creek, Laurel Run, Bethel Run, Little Dunkard Mill and several shorter sidelines. Most of the waterline replacements that are six inches or greater in diameter will be capable of supporting fire flow. Therefore, approximately 63 new fire hydrant assemblies are also included in this project. A new 505,000-gallon water storage tank will be placed at the current Gilboa Road tank site in order to replace the existing Gilboa Road tank, the Moore's Auction Barn tank, the Bethel Hill tank, and the Buttermilk tank. The new, centrally-located tank will help better serve those existing customers at higher elevations. The new tank will be filled by a new, main booster pump station located north of Barrackville. There are 16 shorter sidelines that will not be replaced that will have check meters installed at the beginning of the line in order to provide a mechanism for the Public Service District to monitor unaccounted-for water loss. All of the customer services along the replacement waterlines will also have replacement meter settings along with new radio-read meters. The project includes purchasing additional new radio-read meters to install in existing customer meter wells along those waterlines that are not going to be replaced. The new radio read meters will allow the PSD to more quickly and efficiently read meters along the entire distribution system. There will be no replacement waterline within the Robinson Run, Chesapeake or Plum Run service areas as these areas are the newer parts of the system.
