■ <br />WATER-MAIN IMPROVEMENTS <br />Slumberland representatives have requested that the City provide water to <br />their property for a proposed. building expansion. The improvement is intended <br />to .provide sufficient water to the site for operation of a. sprinkler system <br />proposed for the building while maintaining sufficient water flow for fire <br />fighting purposes outside the building. <br />The proposed water main improvements are shown on Figure No. 1 at the back <br />of this report. We recommend that 900 feet of 12 inch diameter trunk water <br />main be placed from the existing 16 inch water main on Allen Avenue to the 10 <br />inch water main on Desoto Street which currently extends 430 feet south of <br />Centerville Road. <br />The extension of the 12 inch water main along Desoto, in conjunction with <br />the placement of a 12 inch private line (to be placed by others) within the <br />Slumberland property will allow for a flow rate of 1500 gpm at a pressure of <br />60 psi as needed for the operation of the sprinkler system. An additional <br />1500 gpm at 60 psi would also be available outside the building for fire <br />fighting purposes. A total of 5000. gpm of water at a pressure of 20 psi would <br />be available at the site. The water main extension would loop the water <br />system in the Industrial Park which would result in an overall improvement in <br />water system reliability and flow capacity for the industrial park area. <br />- 3 - <br />
