) I <br />B. RAW WATER TRANSN11SSION <br />(No projects programmed during the 5 -year CIB period.) <br />C. WATER FILTRATION <br />C -1. Water Plant Up rade and Expansion - The Jones Ferry Road <br />Filtration Plant will be expanded from its present capacity of <br />12.5 to 15 million gallons per day (mgd). Peak day demand for <br />treated water exceeded 11.5 mgd during 1991. Additional <br />capacity will be provided with the construction of new filters, <br />and will allow the progressive upgrade and improvement of <br />existing filters. <br />D. FINISHED WATER PUMPING <br />D--2. Smith Level Road Booster Pum - Construction of a finished <br />water booster pump station along smith Level Road near Dogwood <br />Acres will improve fire flows and water pressure in the <br />southern portion of OWASA's service area, especially in <br />Heritage Hills. <br />E. FINISHED WATER STORAGE <br />E -1. 0.5 Million Gallon Tank Near Smith Level Road and U.S. 15 -501 - <br />Design of a new elevated storage tank at OWASA's 5.1 -acre site <br />near Starpoint. It is expected that additional storage <br />capacity will be needed to provide adequate flows and pressures <br />under the range of demand conditions associated with Chapel <br />Hill's Small Area Plan for this vicinity. Timing and scope of <br />the project may be modified per recommendations of an <br />engineering analysis now underway of OWASA's water distribution <br />system. <br />E -2. 1.0 Million Gallon Tank in Northern Pressure District - <br />Property acquisition for an additional storage tank site needed <br />to provide adequate flows and pressures for development <br />anticipated in urban transition (northern) areas designated by <br />Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Timing and scope of this project may <br />be modified per recommendations of the distribution system <br />analysis now underway. <br />E -4. 1.0 Million Gallon Tank in Cameron Avenue vicinity - Property <br />acquisition, design, and construction of new elevated tank to <br />replace the existing undersized structure at Wilson Court. <br />Additional capacity is needed to provide adequate flows and <br />pressures to support continued development of the UNC Central <br />Campus. As with the other proposed storage tanks, the timing <br />and scope of this project may be modified by results of the <br />soon to be completed distribution system analysis. <br />
