411 <br /> The attached sketch shows a possible alignment of a proposed <br /> watermain to the park building under consideration. The main <br /> would be extended from the existing watermain on County Road I <br /> just south of the south curb. <br /> Two alternatives were considered. Alternate A would consist of <br /> installing a 6" watermain with a hydrant near the building. This <br /> would provide domestic flow, along with plenty of water for rink <br /> flooding and possible future ballfield sprinkling. The sprinkler <br /> control system could be installed in the proposed building for <br /> security reasons. While this alternate provides the most <br /> advantages, it also offers a disadvantage in that the main may <br /> have to be flushed occasionally because it is a dead end. <br /> However, rink flooding in the winter and ballfield watering in <br /> the summer may largely alleviate that problem. <br /> The attached cost estimate assumes that the watermain could be <br /> installed in the existing roadway alignment with the contractor <br /> salvaging and reusing roadway materials so that there are no <br /> restoration costs. <br /> Alternate B considers the possibility of installing a 2" water <br /> service to the building. This would, of course, provide no fire <br /> protection or possibility of expansion for a ballfield sprinkler <br /> system. It would, however, provide adequate domestic service to • <br /> the building and reasonable rink flooding capabilities. The <br /> estimated cost of about $13, 100 would be less than $3,000 less <br /> than the 6" watermain system due to the easier means of <br /> connection and lack of a hydrant. <br /> Alternative routings of the proposed watermain could be <br /> considered. If the watermain was routed through the turf areas, <br /> additional restoration costs would be incurred, but scheduling <br /> with the proposed parking lot, curb and paving would not be an <br /> issue. In addition, it may be more convenient to develop a <br /> sprinkler system for the ballfields with the control system more <br /> centrally located near the northeast corner of the parking lot in <br /> a separate small shed. <br /> Although a connection to the watermain in Lake Court Drive is <br /> physically possible, the costs would not be expected to be less <br /> than the cost estimate provided herein due to significant <br /> restoration costs and a probable need to cut the pavement to make <br /> the connection. <br />
