WaterOne has mitigated a problem common to large distribution systems that
have outgrown their initial floating storage and have changed to below-ground,
pumped storage to supply the large volumes of hourly peaking storage required.
By using a strategically located elevated storage tank, designed for rapid
drawdown, minimum system pressures can be maintained for the most common
events, such as major pumping equipment failure, large line breaks, or short
duration power outages, thus alleviating concerns over contamination due to loss
of pressure during such events. The elevated storage also dampens pressure
surges during pump changes and would allow time to start emergency
generators without loss of minimum system pressures caused by the less
common, longer duration power outages or other extended period events. Includes figures.
