14 <br /> Reading questions from an Orange County Water and Sewer Authority(OWASA) board appointee <br /> who couldn't attend, Commissioner Bedford asked about fluctuation between average minimum and <br /> maximum flow for current and approved projects, how much flow was attributable to stormwater or <br /> infiltration, and the nature of approved projects. <br /> John Dodson explained that current flows were at 1.6 million gallons daily, with normal daily <br /> maximum flows reaching 2 to 2.5 million gallons during midday, and storm flows increasing to 6-7 million <br /> gallons daily. He offered to provide detailed responses via email for technical questions and confirmed that <br /> expansion would accommodate both residential and commercial projects. <br /> Slide#3 <br /> n <br /> B.

Planned <br /> improvements included upsizing the station and force main with new pumps, estimated at$5 million with <br /> anticipated $4 million in federal funding. <br /> The Graveley Hill Pump Station,flowing to the GE station, had 115,000 gallons per day operational <br /> capacity with roughly 35,000 gallons daily available capacity. Plans involved tying this station into the West <br /> Ten Force main connecting to Southeast Regional, which would remove 80,000 gallons per day from GE <br /> Pump Station while increasing GE capacity.This project was estimated between$750,000 and slightly over <br /> $1 million, with federal funding being sought. <br /> The West Ten Pump Station had 400,000 gallons per day operational capacity with 338,000 gallons <br /> daily available capacity, described as "sitting pretty good." The Southeast Regional Pump Station was a <br /> million gallon per day station with roughly 432,000 gallons daily available flow, pumping directly to the <br /> Water Recovery Facility. <br />
