Water Storage Tank and Utility Extensions

Windsor, Vermont

In an effort to increase the volume of domestic and fire protection water storage for the Town, D&K provided design services to replace two 80-year-old riveted steel tanks with a new 833,000-gallon glass-fused-to-steel water storage tank. The project included staged demolition of existing tanks due to tight site conditions and required maintaining storage from one existing tank during construction of the new tank.

D&K staff coordinated internal well video inspection during design to evaluate the integrity of the existing well screen. Well improvements were necessary to maintain pumping capacity at new discharge conditions associated with taller water storage tank, including replacement of pump bowl assembly, reduced voltage starter, new telemetry system, and other electrical improvements.

Replacement of 2,900 lf of water main and 800 lf of sewer main was necessary to comply with regulations regarding separation distance between water/sewer lines and to improve hydraulic capacity. D&K staff prepared bond vote informational flier and application for State Revolving Loan Funds.
