INTRODUCTION This project consists of a complete water distribution system including water mains, well, elevated water storage, chemical feed, and the operation building. The proposed system will serve commercial and light industry properties in the Town of Burke that are within the Token Creek Sanitary District. The lands to be served are mostly platted, but many parcels are not yet developed. In 1986 the Town of Burke agreed, as part of the approval of the Interstate Park plat, to the requirement of the City of Madison that public water be installed when it became economically feasible and within ten years. Due to the current development of the Highway 19 Commercial Plat, and its need for public water, it has been concluded that the Token Creek Sanitary District should now provide public water to a portion of the district. This would include lands currently in the urban service area, which are public sewered, and other lands immediately adjacent. LOCATION This water system is located north of the Dane County Regional Airport in the Town of Burke. Property served includes commercial property south of Highway 19 and north of I-90-94 (Area I), and north and south of I-90-94 at Highway 51 (Area II and III respectively); and residential property south of I-90-94 and west of Daentle Road (Area IV). See the enclosed topographical map (Figure 1) of the portion of the Sanitary District to be served. TOPOGRAPHY This area of Dane County consists of rolling terrain. The project area includes two ridges. A northeast -southwest ridge splits the service area and has a high elevation of 932. The second ridge is located in the southeast corner of the service area and has a high elevation of 948, which will be utilized for an elevated storage tank. The project area includes two wetlands. One is small and located in the northwest corner of the service area and the water system will pass around it. The second wetland, Cherokee Marsh & Token Creek, is large and crosses the water district near the intersection of Highway 51 and I-90-94. A water main crossing the second wetland will be built in the existing Daentle Road roadbed. The low ground elevation is 855.2. The district to be served consists of 215 acres of land. Soils in the service area vary considerably but generally consist of topsoil over glacial deposits. Houghton (Ho) and Palms (Pa) shown in Appendix A on page A-1 are lowland deposits of muck. See Appendix A. DESIGN PERIOD AND PROJECTED DEMAND This land currently consists of commercial lots, developed and undeveloped, some farmland, and a few single family homes. Streets and utilities (including sanitary) exist near Highway 51 (Area II & III) and are being built in the Highway 19 Plat (Area I). Completion of the Highway 19 Plat Phase I is anticipated in 1993. 1
