RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Two possible alternatives are as follows: <br />1. Do Nothing - This choice would result in the expansion of the <br />existing private well system. Multiple wells can result in <br />contamination of the ground water system and are more <br />difficult to monitor. Some of the existing wells are fairly <br />high flow production wells. <br />2. Water System - Town of Burke is committed to creation of a <br />water system due to plat approval agreements with the City of <br />Madison. A water system allows for treatment of drinking <br />water and provides fire protection. <br />WELL AND WELL PUMPING FACILITIES <br />The well is proposed to be located approximately 200 feet north <br />east of I-90-94 near the west end of the district (see Figure 1). <br />The well building floor will be at elevation 888. The well site <br />survey is included in Appendix D. The well will be approximately <br />550 feet deep into sandstone bedrock. This is a good aquifer and <br />the anticipated specific capacity of this well based on nearby <br />wells is 25 gpm per foot of drawdown but 10 gpm per foot will be <br />used for initial evaluation. A static water elevation of 850 is <br />assumed. The proposed well will be drilled and tested in 1993. <br />Specifications for the proposed well are available as a separate <br />document. <br />The well pump capacity is proposed to be 750 gpm to fill the <br />proposed elevated storage tank and supplement tower flows for fire <br />demand. An engine will be provided to provide emergency pumping in <br />case of power failure. <br />Peak day water demands for 2013 and Ultimate are 172 gpm and 310 <br />gpm respectively, based on projected growth in demand and a 1.5 <br />maximum day factor. Both flows are well within the 750 gpm <br />capacity selected for this well pump. If customer demands are <br />greater than the ultimate projected, either a larger well pump <br />could be placed in the proposed well, or a second well could be <br />added to the system. <br />Well pump design values are as follows: <br />Flow Suction Tower Line TDH <br />(qpm) (USGS) USGS (ft) (ft) <br />750 775.0 1060.0 19.2 304.2 <br />ELEVATED STORAGE <br />A 200,000 gallon single pedestal spheroid elevated storage tank is <br />proposed to be built in the southeast end of the district on a <br />bedrock ridge (see Figure 1).
