Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Steve Campbell , from Short-Elliott-Hendrickson consulting engineers, will present the analysis of municipal water storage. As background, the following issues have been discussed during the past year. Water tower # 2 is located in the industrial park at the end of Mustang Circle . This tower is in extreme need of exterior painting as well as interior structural repairs and coating. The tower was taken out of service during the winter of 1990-91 due to icing problems in the past. The water elevation in this tower lags significantly behind tower #1, which keeps the tower from operating properly. At times it will not fill completely, and a very thick (over 5 foot) ice cap forms in the winter. In preparing specifications for painting this tower, a consultant specializing in tower work inspected the tower. Issues of concern were the interior coating and structural damage and the high lead content of the exterior paint. Cost estimates for repair and painting were in excess of $150,000 not including lead paint disposal concerns. These concerns might double the cost of the work, depending on the lead content of disposed material. Tower #1 was inspected this year. The top of the tower is in need of repair as---well a-s- needing -com�Yme interio-r s -r-uctu-r-al modifications. Again lead paint is an issue in recoating this tower. Complete repairs and painting were estimated to be in excess of $200,000, again depending on the extent of the lead paint issue. Council authorized Short-Elliott-Hendrickson to prepare an analysis of the existing storage and required storage , both quantity and _location. This is the report Mr. Campbell_ will present on October 14th. Ric M ■• - o City Engineer/Director of Public Works RECOMMENDATION;
