 Development of a Master Water Plan
Project Objective: Identify facilities improvements that are required to insure proper operation of the water supply, treatment, and distributions facilities through the year 2020 Solution: The City of Frederick water system serves a population of 40,000 using a system consisting of three general sources of supply, three water treatment plants, six distribution system storage facilities, and two booster water pumping stations. The service population is projected to increase to nearly 80,000 by the year 2020. This Master Water Plan developed a set recommended improvements to the City's water supply, treatment, and distribution facilities necessary to accommodate the projected increase in water demands. A key element of the supporting included modeling the water distribution system under existing and projected future demand conditions. Modeling was completed using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's EPANET water distribution system modeling program. The water system model was used to assess system performance under critical existing and future demand conditions and to identify water system improvements that will produce acceptable system performance. The Master Water Plan identified $21,700,000 of capital improvements required to meet the projected 2020 water demands. Recommended capital projects include specified improvements to and expansion of the capacity of the water treatment plants, water main extensions, reinforcing and looping mains, and distribution storage facilities. The Plan presented recommended phased implementation of the improvements at ten-year horizons. Key Project Features:
