PUMP HOUSE - SPRING WATER

THE 12" NEW WATER SYSTEM IS ONLY FED AND PRESSURIZED BY THE PUMP STATION AND STORAGE TANKS ON MANATEE ROAD. 

THE DIGGING CREW IS CONNECTING THE OUTPUT OF OUR WATER PUMPS TO THE NEW WATER SYSTEM..

THIS WILL ALLOW THE CAPRI RE-PUMP STATION TO AGAIN MAINTAIN PROPER WATER FLOW AND WATER PRESSURE TO RESIDENTS AND FIRE HYDRANTS..

THE CREW BEGINS BY OPENING PITS AT EACH COUPLING ON THE EXISTING WATER PIPE TO INSTALL BRACES ACROSS THE COUPLING..

THE BRACE IS A STRAP ACROSS THE COUPLING TO PREVENT IT FROM PULLING APART..

THE PUMP HOUSE OUTPUT IS TIED INTO THE NEW 12" WATER SYSTEM THROUGH A 12" ISOLATION VALVE..

THE BLUE WATER PIPE NEAR THE HYDRANT IS THE WATER TAP TO FEED THE ENTRANCE SIGN AREA. A NEW WATER METER IS INSTALLED IN THE PUMP STATION RIGHT OF WAY..

A WATER DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR POINTED OUT A NATURAL WATER SPRING THAT HAS FLOWED FOR AS LONG AS HE CAN REMEMBER. 24 HOURS A DAY THIS SPRING FLOWS AND SPILLS INTO THE WATER WAY. ITS PRESSURE IS NOT GREAT ENOUGH TO USE IN THE COLLIER WATER SYSTEM.

THERE ARE THOUGHTS THAT THE CAPRI RE-PUMP STATION IS REDUNDANT AND IT'S EQUIPMENT IS OUT DATED. THE THOUGHTS ARE THAT THE STATION ON MANATEE ROAD WOULD BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO SUPPLY THE RESIDENTS AND THE FIRE HYDRANTS AND TO MAINTAIN FLOW AND PRESSURE.

THERE IS A LOT OF AREA HERE FOR A PARK ??
