EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In support of the Smithfield Water Supply Board’s (SWSB) long-term water system planning, Pare
Corporation (Pare) has prepared this Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the SWSB’s water supply
and distribution system. In an effort to create a more comprehensive accounting of future system
costs, this CIP includes operation and maintenance (O&M) projects to be implemented to ensure a
safe, reliable water supply system. This CIP can be used by the SWSB to budget future capital
expenditures that can be used as a part of a future rate study.
Based on the results of Pare’s previous hydraulic model update and system buildout analysis, water
use in the SWSB could potentially increase to 3.2 million gallons per day (MGD) at full buildout,
which is approximately 1.3 MGD more than is used on maximum summer day basis currently. This
project represents “ultimate buildout”, which represents the SWSB district when it is completely
built out based on the Town’s current zoning plan. This increase in demand would exceed the
system’s current ability to deliver water to its customers through its existing pump stations, possibly
resulting in depleted system storage and a reduction in system fire protection.
The system currently has several important transmission mains that provide the sole source of water
to large areas of the SWSB. A disruption to one of these mains could result in a serious disruption to
service throughout the distribution system. The focus of this CIP includes maintaining existing
infrastructure, establishing long-term infrastructure redundancy, and increasing supply to meet the
projected future demands of the system.

VOLUME 3 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
In an effort to assist the SWSB with their long-term water system planning, Pare has prepared this
CIP for the SWSB’s water supply and distribution system. This CIP is Volume 3 of the SWSB’s
System Evaluation and Master Plan (SEMP) project, with the update of the SWSB computerized
hydraulic model and a buildout analysis of the SWSB’s service area previously completed as
Volume 1 and 2 of the SEMP, respectively. Based on the results of the hydraulic model update
and buildout analysis, Pare identified certain system deficiencies that make the system vulnerable
to disruption and may limit future growth. The Town has determined that it is essential to address
these deficiencies to facilitate the growth of the Town while maintaining the water distribution
system’s ability to efficiently and effectively serve the existing customer base. In addition, the
SWSB must address operation and maintenance projects to be implemented to ensure a safe, reliable
water supply system.
The SWSB system consists of approximately 36 miles of water main ranging in size from 6 to 16
inches in diameter. Pipe materials consist of cement-lined cast iron (CI), cement-lined ductile iron
(DI), asbestos cement (AC), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Major infrastructure components
include three (3) storage tanks, three (3) booster pump stations, and interconnections with
neighboring water systems. Neighboring water systems located in the area around the SWSB
include the East Smithfield Water District (ESWD), the Greenville Water District (GWD), the
Providence Water Supply Board (Providence Water), and the Lincoln Water Commission (LWC).
A description of each capital improvement, the resulting system benefit, and Pare’s opinion of
probable construction cost for each improvement are provided in subsequent sections of this
report.

SECTION 2
STORAGE FACILITIES
There are three (3) storage tanks in the system, identified as the Rocky Hill Road tank, the Island
Woods tank, and the Burlingame tank. Pare performed a site visit at each storage tank with
SWSB personnel on November 12, 2015. All three tanks are constructed of steel. A description of
each storage facility and proposed capital improvements associated with these tanks is provided
below.
2.1 Rocky Hill Road Tank
The 1 million gallon (MG) Rocky Hill Road tank was constructed as part of the original system
development in 1964 and its interior and exterior paint, valve vault, pressure sensors, and
telemetry were refurbished to their original manufacturer-supplied conditions in 1997. The most
recent inspection in September 2015 found that the tank requires new interior and exterior
coatings. Interior pitting was reported on the tank due to the coating failure. The concrete
foundation is in fair condition. Spot repairs were recently performed to the asphalt around the
tank.
Pare recently completed an evaluation of this tank for the SWSB based on the significant
deterioration observed at the site (see Appendix D). Pare’s evaluation focused on four potential
improvement/replacement scenarios, including: rehabilitating the existing tank; building a new
tank at another location; demolishing the existing tank with no replacement; and replacing the
existing tank at the same site. The evaluation identified how each scenario would impact system
pressure and fire protection. Based on current system hydraulics, demolition of the existing tank
with no replacement or building a new tank at another location were not viable scenarios due to
fire protection requirements for businesses in the area of the system surrounding the Rocky Hill
Road tank and tank construction constraints surrounding the businesses located along Business
Park Drive (e.g., vicinity to airport, wetlands, etc.). Therefore, in lieu of reinvesting in the 50-
year-old tank with an escalating maintenance cost, Pare recommended building a new tank at the
same location. This evaluation further identified usable storage restrictions under existing
conditions at the tank, limiting the tank operating range to approximately five feet. As a result, it
was recommended that the SWSB implement a pump station interconnection project with the
LWC in conjunction with the installation of an elevated storage tank and pressure reducing valve.
Pare Corporation ‐ 5 ‐
This would allow the SWSB to create a new Rocky Hill Road tank pressure zone served through
a permanent interconnection with the LWC, thereby increasing usable storage and alleviating
pressure concerns while maintaining an adequate volume of storage to be used for fire flow
requirements and emergency conditions in this area of the system.
Based on the results of the evaluation, the SWSB should consider the installation of a new 1 MG
Rocky Hill Road elevated storage tank in lieu of restoring the existing tank (CIP 1). This tank would
be located on Rocky Hill Road at the site of the existing tank. The scope of work associated with
this capital improvement would include the construction of a new 1 MG elevated storage tank,
demolition of the existing 1 MG tank, and site restoration.
CIP 1 also includes the future installation of an emergency interconnection with the LWC (see
Section 3). This project would require the construction of a pump station at the emergency
interconnection to boost the HGL from Lincoln to Smithfield. A pressure-reducing valve (PRV)
would also be implemented as part of this CIP, which would allow the SWSB to create a new Rocky
Hill Road tank pressure zone. This new pressure zone would be served through an interconnection
with the LWC, alleviating many issues the existing Rocky Hill Road tank has with regard to tank
turnover, pressure, and water quality.
2.2 Island Woods Tank
The 4 MG Island Woods Tank was constructed in 1991, largely to serve the commercial zone in
the Douglas Pike (Rt. 7) / George Washington Highway (Rt. 116) area. Recent improvements
include removal of encroaching tree and brush near the chain-link fence surrounding the tank,
replacement of the rusted metal door to the adjacent cinder block storage building, and
replacement of barbed wire atop the chain-link fence. The most recent inspection in September
2015 indicated that the tank has failed interior and exterior coatings that are in need of
replacement. The sump pump and heating unit in the altitude valve vault were replaced in 2012.
The structural integrity of the tank, concrete foundation, on-site piping, fencing, and altitude
valves are all in good condition.
2.3 Burlingame Tank
The 0.3 MG Burlingame Tank was constructed as part of system improvements implemented by
the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1988, but it was not put into service until
1997. The most recent inspection in September 2015 identified a decline in exterior wall and roof
Pare Corporation ‐ 6 ‐
dome film thickness and indicated that the interior coating system has expired. The sealant
applied at the junction of the foundation and tank base was found to be spalling, causing a gap
between the foundation and tank base and allowing moisture to accumulate beneath the tank. This
junction should be resealed with an elastomeric sealant to prevent moisture from accumulating
beneath the tank. The on-site piping, fencing, and altitude valve were reportedly in good
condition. The gravel access roadway was recently graded and improved with a new geotextile
layer and processed gravel as part of the development of GWD’s High Service Tank, which is
located on the same site.
Pare Corporation ‐ 7 ‐
SECTION 3
SYSTEM PIPING
The SWSB system consists of approximately 36 miles of water main ranging in size from 6 to 16
inches in diameter. Pipe materials consist of cement-lined CI, cement-lined DI, AC, and PVC. In
general, the transmission mains are 12-inch and 16-inch pipes that are either cement-lined CI or DI.
Some of the transmission mains date to the origins of the system in the early 1960s, while some
were installed as recently as the 1990s under the EPA system expansion project.
Pare utilized the SWSB’s hydraulic model to evaluate various potential system piping
improvements. The nature of the system improvements that Pare evaluated included a new
interconnection with the LWC and several new transmission mains. The purpose of the system
improvements would be to increase system source capacity and reduce dependency on the
Town’s current sole source of supply, Providence Water, as well as to provide redundancy for
several critical transmission mains in the SWSB system while increasing the transmission
capacity of the system. A description of each distribution system capital improvement is provided
below.
3.1 Interconnection with Lincoln
It is Pare’s understanding that the SWSB and the LWC are moving forward with an
interconnection on George Washington Highway. An emergency interconnection has recently
been installed between the SWSB and the GWD (at the site of the Burlingame Road tank and the
new GWD High Service Area tank). In addition, two (2) interconnections exist between the
SWSB and the ESWD. While these interconnections provide redundancy between the three
systems, they do not provide a truly independent source of supply to the SWSB because GWD
and ESWD both receive their water from Providence Water.
This report focuses solely on the engineering and infrastructure requirements of the potential
future interconnections discussed herein, and does not address the legal or administrative effort
that may be required to implement a new interconnection with LWC.
The need for a new interconnection with LWC arises out of two critical concerns for the SWSB
system infrastructure. Those concerns are the anticipated supply deficit and the high proportion of
critical system water mains. These critical mains are transmission mains (i.e., 12 inches or larger)
Pare Corporation ‐ 8 ‐
that constitute single pathways for water to move throughout the system to and from the storage
tanks.
The most critical system improvement required in the short-term is an increase in or an additional
source of supply to make up a future shortage in supply. Based on the results of Pare’s hydraulic
model update and system buildout analysis, water use may increase in the SWSB to 3.2 MGD at full
buildout, which is approximately 1.3 MG more than is used on maximum summer day basis
currently. The ultimate buildout represents the SWSB district when it is completely built out based
on the Town’s current zoning plan. This increase will exceed the system’s current ability to deliver
water through its main pump station and piping network, which could result in a significant
depletion of system storage and a reduction in system fire protection.
The two most logical solutions to the supply issue are increasing the supply from the existing
connection to Providence Water or constructing a new interconnection with the LWC.
In the long-term, a new interconnection with the LWC would have significant benefits over
increasing the supply from Providence Water. While increasing the supply from Providence
Water could potentially make up the anticipated water supply shortage, it would require
upgrading the Longview and Limerock pump stations to transport water throughout the system.
Major pipe improvements would be required to convey water through inadequate critical
transmission mains. In addition, increasing Providence Water’s supply would continue to expose
the SWSB to the vulnerability associated with a single supply source. A disruption in that source
of supply would result in a significant disruption in service to the entire SWSB.
Moreover, results of recent water quality monitoring rounds have revealed elevated levels of
disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in the SWSB’s water supply, with DBP concentrations in the
SWSB largely dependent on the source water provided from Providence Water. Currently,
Lincoln buys its water from sources other than Providence Water, such as Pawtucket and
Woonsocket. A new interconnection with the LWC would reduce the SWSB’s dependency on
Providence Water, which would in turn reduce the system’s vulnerability to a significant service
disruption and potential water quality issues. In addition, a new interconnection with the LWC
would deliver water directly to customers near the intersection of Routes 116 and 7, which is
where the largest future increase in water demand is projected. Usable water storage may also be
alleviated if the interconnection includes the installation of a PRV at the intersection of Douglas
Pare Corporation ‐ 9 ‐
Pike and George Washington Highway and the deteriorating Rocky Hill Tank is replaced with a
new elevated storage tank designed to optimize usable storage (CIP 1).
After the supply deficit, the most important issue facing the SWSB infrastructure is the high
proportion of critical system water mains. As the system ages, the likelihood of a substantial
water main break among one of these water mains increases. A water main break among these
mains would result in a significant disruption in service to large areas of Town. Of these critical
water mains, the most critical is the 12-inch CI water main on Douglas Pike that is suspended
over the I-295 and Douglas Pike interchange. Given that this section of water main is suspended
over I-295, it would be difficult, costly, and time-consuming to repair if damaged, more so than
other critical system water mains. Therefore, this water main is the most crucial of the critical
system water mains. The Lincoln interconnection (CIP 1) would provide redundancy in the event
of a break along this portion of water main. However, if CIP 1 does not become a permanent
interconnection, then the new water main on Harris Road (CIP 6) becomes increasingly
important. CIP 2 through CIP 5 address other critical system water mains along Douglas Pike
(Smithfield Road in North Providence).
3.2 Douglas Pike Water Main
The Douglas Pike Water Main project consists of installing 4,800 feet of new 12-inch DI water
main along Douglas Pike between North Providence and Smithfield. CIP 2 also includes
connecting the new 12-inch water main to several existing 8-inch mains in North Providence on
Wenscott Lane, Tanglewood Lane, Hawthorne Place, and Calvary Drive.
The primary benefit of CIP 2 is that it would provide a new system loop. Currently, the entire
Smithfield system relies on the single 12-inch CI water main on Ridge Road (Smithfield Road in
North Providence), which makes this water main a critical system component. A water main
break on Ridge Road anywhere between the Longview Reservoir Pump Station and Providence
Water’s Fruit Hill Reservoir would result in a serious water supply disruption, not just to SWSB
customers, but also to some customers in the ESWD that rely on SWSB service.
Pare Corporation ‐ 10 ‐
In addition to providing a new system loop, CIP 2 would reduce the total system friction losses
between the Longview Reservoir Booster Pump Station and the Limerock Booster Pump Station,
reducing the total energy needed to transport water between the two stations. This would reduce
the discharge head required at the Longview Reservoir Pump Station, alleviating some of the high
pressure experienced in North Providence currently.
CIP 2 has at least one significant challenge that makes it more complicated than a typical water
main installation; the approximately 1,500-foot section of Douglas Pike that travels over the
Wenscott Reservoir causeway. It could be difficult to install a water main in the causeway due to
the building material originally used to construct the causeway (i.e., boulders and large stones). In
addition, the high water table beneath the causeway could impact the installation with regard to
trench dewatering. Finally, the causeway is a narrow two-lane road and therefore installing a
water main could cause significant traffic disruptions. Prior to installing CIP 2, SWSB would
likely be required to obtain approval from the Rhode Island Department of Transportation
(RIDOT) because Douglas Pike is a State roadway.
3.3 Ridge Road Water Main
CIP 3 consists of installing approximately 6,900 feet of new 12-inch DI water main on Ridge
Road between Whipple Road and Limerock Road, and north along Limerock Road to the suction
side of the Limerock Booster Pump Station.
The primary benefit of CIP 3 would be the new system loops it would create between Whipple
Road and the Limerock Booster Pump Station. Currently, the 12-inch water main on Douglas
Pike between Whipple Road and the Limerock Booster Pump Station is the sole supply for the
pump station, which makes this water main a critical system component. The addition of a new
12-inch main along Ridge Road would reduce the dependency of the system on Douglas Pike. A
water main break on Douglas Pike could cause a significant disruption to water service
throughout Smithfield.
In addition to providing redundancy in the system, CIP 3 would reduce the total system friction
losses between the Longview Reservoir Booster Pump Station and the Limerock Reservoir
Booster Pump Station, thereby reducing the total energy needed to transport water between the
two stations. This would reduce the discharge head required at the Longview Reservoir Pump
Station, alleviating some of the high pressure experienced in North Providence.
Pare Corporation ‐ 11 ‐
3.4 Stillwater Road Water Main
CIP 4 consists of installing approximately 7,700 feet of new 12-inch DI water main on Ridge
Road and Stillwater Road between Limerock Road and Thurber Boulevard. This CIP would
include installing a short section of water main on Limerock Road from the Limerock Booster
Pump Station. This new main would connect to an existing 8-inch water main on Limerock Road
(on the high service side of the pump station) and to an existing 8-inch main on Stillwater Road at
the intersection of Thurber Boulevard.
The new 12-inch transmission main on Ridge Road and Stillwater Road would provide
redundancy for the 12-inch main on Douglas Pike, between Limerock Road and George
Washington Highway. Currently, the water main on Douglas Pike is the sole source of water to
the Rocky Hill and Island Woods tanks. A water main break on Douglas Pike could cause a
significant disruption to water service for the majority of the Town’s users.
Similar to CIP 2 and 3, CIP 4 reduces friction losses between the Limerock Booster Pump Station
and the system storage tanks, resulting in less energy required to transport water between the
station and the tanks. This reduces the discharge head at the Limerock Booster Pump Station,
which would reduce some of the high pressure experienced in this area of the system.
3.5 George Washington Highway Water Main
This George Washington Highway Water Main project consists of installing approximately 4,885
linear feet of 16-inch DI water main along George Washington Highway and Farnum Pike (Rt.
104). The new water main would connect to an existing 8-inch water main on Appian Way and
extend approximately 1,935 feet west toward Farnum Pike. From the intersection of Farnum Pike
and George Washington Highway, the water main would extend approximately 2,950 feet north
to the existing 12-inch PVC water main. The water main would require two bridge crossings,
both over the Woonasquatucket River between the Woonasquatucket Reservoir and the Stillwater
Reservoir. One bridge crossing would be on George Washington Highway and would total
approximately 200 feet. The second bridge crossing would be on Farnum Pike and would total
approximately 60 feet. During reconstruction of this bridge on Farnum Pike, a sleeve was
installed for a future water main.
Pare Corporation ‐ 12 ‐
CIP 5 provides three major benefits to the system. The first benefit is the important system
redundancy it provides. Currently, the water main on Douglas Pike north of George Washington
Highway is the sole source of water supply to the northwestern section of Town. A water main
break or other disruption on Douglas Pike could result in a serious disruption in water service to
this area of Smithfield. The second benefit that this CIP provides is the increased fire protection
to this area of the system. The third benefit is the ability to connect the residences and businesses
located along this proposed water main to the public water supply.
3.6 Harris Road Water Main
The Harris Road Water Main project consists of installing approximately 8,500 feet of new 12-
inch DI water main along Harris Road. This new water main would connect to the 12-inch water
main that is proposed as part of the Oaks at Harris Development. The water main would run
northeast along Harris Road and connect to the existing 12-inch CI water main on George
Washington Highway.
The two primary benefits of CIP 6 would be the additional system redundancy it would provide
between the Limerock Booster Pump Station and the system storage tanks, and the opportunity
for residents living along Harris Road to connect to the public water system. CIP 6 would provide
a redundant route for water to travel between the Rocky Hill tank and the Limerock Booster
Pump Station. It would also provide a redundant means or transporting water between the future
proposed interconnection with the LWC and areas of Town west of Douglas Pike, though this
scenario would require a PRV due to the higher HGL of the proposed Rocky Hill Road tank
pressure zone. Fire protection in this area of Town would also benefit from this CIP and allow for
potential growth to the northern sections of Town, particularly in the future Planned Corporate
and Industrial Zone near the I-295 business park and the North Central Airport.

SECTION 4
PUMP STATIONS
There are three (3) pump stations in the system, identified as the Longview Reservoir Booster
Pump Station, the Limerock Booster Pump Station, and the Davis Booster Pump Station. Pare
performed a site visit at each pump station with SWSB personnel on November 12, 2015. A
description of each pump station and proposed capital improvements associated with these pump
stations is provided below.
4.1 Longview Reservoir Booster Pump Station
The Longview Reservoir Booster Pump Station is located at the interconnection to Providence
Water. It supplies the part of the system in North Providence and the southeastern part of
Smithfield, as well as the Limerock Booster Pump Station. The Longview Reservoir pump station
is the most critical of the three system pump stations as it is the sole source of supply for the
SWSB. The capacity of the station is approximately 2 MGD.
The station, originally built in 1964, was the only booster station in the system until 1997. As a
result of system improvements by the EPA, the entire station’s piping, equipment, and controls,
excluding the structure, were removed and replaced. The station now consists of three (3) variable
frequency drive (VFD) pumps positioned in parallel and equipped with a natural gas emergency
generator. All three pump motors were replaced in early 2014 and the pumps were checked and
resealed at this time. The pump station is considered to be in good condition.
The total maximum capacity of this station is approximately 1,366 gallons per minute (gpm), or
approximately 1.965 MGD, which is based on a water use agreement between SWSB and
Providence Water. The station is designed to operate with two pumps running while the third is on
standby. As these pumps have VFD motors, they are controlled with the ability to pace pump output
to system demand or to maintain system pressure. The station can operate by modulating pump
speed based on downstream tank levels, which is the station’s normal mode, or by maintaining a
constant discharge pressure range in the system. The station receives water at approximately 13 psi
pressure from Providence Water and boosts the water to a maximum pressure of 120 psi. Aside from
two (2) digital tank water level indicators, this station is equipped with a circular chart with digital
indicator and totalizer for pump station flow, and a digital pump discharge pressure indicator.
Pare Corporation ‐ 14 ‐
4.2 Limerock Booster Pump Station
The Limerock Booster Pump Station supplies the service area in the northeastern portion of
Smithfield, the Island Woods and Rocky Hill storage reservoirs, and the Davis Booster Pump
Station. Water from these two storage tanks is also supplied back through the Limerock Booster
Pump Station through a PRV to supply the area between the Longview and Limerock pump stations.
The Limerock booster pump station has a capacity of approximately 1.3 MGD and supplies water to
the northern section of Smithfield.
The Limerock Booster Pump Station is located on Douglas Pike, just south of Limerock Road. This
station was built in 1997 as part of the EPA system improvements. Like the Longview Reservoir
Booster Pump Station, it is equipped with three (3) VFD pumps positioned in parallel with
emergency power via a natural gas-fired generator. All three pump motors were replaced in spring
2014 and the pumps were checked and resealed at this time. One of the VFD motor controllers was
replaced at this time as well. The pump station is considered to be in good condition.
The pump station is designed to operate with two pumps running simultaneously while the third is
on standby. The variable speed drives allow the station to operate simultaneously with the Longview
Reservoir Booster Pump Station while pacing itself to maintain a constant suction pressure, as both
stations respond to tank levels. These two pump stations are interlocked and controlled through the
system’s telemetry system. Should these pump stations fail to operate in series, significant pressure
issues could develop in the system. Moreover, water hammer is created in the system through a
delay in the starting and stopping of pumps at the Longview and Limerock booster pump stations,
which can result in damage to system infrastructure.
The hydraulic grade of this station’s service area is 521 feet mean sea level (MSL), which is the
overflow elevation of the Rocky Hill and Island Woods storage tanks. A PRV located outside the
Limerock Booster Pump Station allows water from these two storage reservoirs to feed toward the
Longview Reservoir Booster Pump Station when the pumps in the Limerock Booster Pump Station
are off. This PRV has an interlock that prevents the PRV from operating when the pump station is in
use. This station is equipped with a digital tank water level indicator, a circular recorder with digital
indicator for suction pressure, and a circular recorder with digital indicator and totalizer for pump
station flow.
Pare Corporation ‐ 15 ‐
4.3 Davis Booster Pump Station
The Davis Booster Pump Station is located on Log Road, just east of Burlingame Road. This pump
station supplies the SWSB’s northwest service area and the Burlingame Tank and has a capacity of
approximately 0.3 MGD. This pump station was also built in 1997 as part of the EPA system
expansion. The station is equipped with two (2) constant speed pumps and an emergency generator
fueled by a propane tank located at the pump station site. The station is designed to operate with one
pump online and the other pump on standby. Normal operation of this station is based on water
levels in the Burlingame Tank. The hydraulic grade of this station’s service area is 577 feet MSL.
This station is equipped with a digital tank level indicator and a circular recorder with digital
indicator and totalizer for station flow.

SECTION 5
WATER SUPPLY SOURCES
There are two active system interconnections between the SWSB and neighboring water systems
that are used on a regular basis. One interconnection, a metered wholesale water connection with
Providence Water at Smithfield Road, functions as the SWSB’s source of supply from the Longview
Reservoir. The existing agreement between SWSB and Providence Water, a letter dated February
10, 1993, entitles SWSB to purchase up to 1.965 MGD through this interconnection. This supply
rate corresponds to the maximum rated pumping capacity of the Longview Reservoir Booster Pump
Station.
The SWSB has two other interconnections with Providence Water, both in North Providence. One
connection is on Hawthorne Street, and one connection is on Locust Avenue. Both connections are
physically closed and intended for use in case of an emergency. Neither interconnection is metered.
The hydraulic grade line of the SWSB is higher than Providence Water, so supply to the SWSB
would require pumping while supply to Providence Water can be done by opening the closed valves
at either interconnection. There are currently no plans to convert either of these interconnections to
normal supply connections.
The SWSB also has two interconnections with the ESWD. One interconnection, on Ridge Road at
Partridge Lane, is actively used for wholesale supply from the SWSB to the ESWD. This
interconnection is metered and serves an isolated area of the ESWD service area. Less than 12
million gallons of water was sold to the ESWD through this interconnection in 2013, and water sales
have followed a downward trend in recent years. A second interconnection, located at Meadow
View Drive, is in place for emergency purposes. It is not typically used nor is it metered.
The SWSB also has an emergency interconnection with the GWD. This interconnection was created
in 2014 as part of the construction of a new storage tank for the GWD, near the SWSB’s
Burlingame Tank. Water can be supplied to either system during an emergency. The SWSB does
not own or operate any independent surface or groundwater supply sources. Instead, the SWSB
purchases all of the water it distributes on a wholesale basis through an interconnection with
Providence Water. This interconnection is at the SWSB’s Longview Reservoir Booster Pump
Station. This interconnection with Providence Water serves as the only permanent active source of
Pare Corporation ‐ 17 ‐
supply. The SWSB does not have any abandoned former supply sources, nor are there any surface
or groundwater supplies believed to be suitable for development by the SWSB.
The SWSB does not own or operate any primary treatment facilities as the sole source of supply of
water to the system is through the interconnection with Providence Water. However, the SWSB
installed a chlorine injection system at the Limerock Booster Pump Station in 2011 to raise the
chlorine residual for parts of the system located farther from the system’s source. The system was
installed due to past exceedances for total coliforms in parts of the SWSB system. The Limerock
Booster Pump Station site was selected following an evaluation of several suitable locations
performed by Pare and the SWSB. The chlorine injection system was reviewed and approved by the
RI Department of Health.
The chlorine injection system has not been used since 2012. There have been no total coliform
exceedances detected in the system during this timeframe. Operational changes to the water level in
the Island Woods Storage Tank has increased turnover and reduced water age, which has likely
contributed to improvements in water quality. The system can be put back into use in the event it is
needed in the future. It was never intended to be a permanent, year-round treatment operation and
was intended to be used only at certain times of the year, primarily in the summer, and as required
based on water quality.
CIP 1 includes a new interconnection with the LWC. The interconnection would be located on
George Washington Highway at the Lincoln/Smithfield town line. The scope of work associated
with this interconnection includes approximately 1,300 linear feet of 12-inch DI water main, a new
booster pump station, and a PRV. A booster pump station would be necessary because the HGL of
the Lincoln system, as determined by the overflow of the nearby Albion Tank, is 426 feet and the
HGL of the SWSB system, as determined by the nearby Island Woods and Rocky Hill tanks, is 521
feet.
The most significant benefit of the proposed interconnection is the additional source of supply it
would provide, which would reduce SWSB’s dependency on Providence Water. The
interconnection would also provide a redundant source of supply if a water main break were to
occur along Douglas Pike, which is currently a critical system main. Other benefits would include a
reduced dependency on the Limerock and Longview Reservoir pump stations, which currently

supply water from Providence Water to various portions of the system and maintain water in the
Island Woods and Rocky Hill tanks. This interconnection would reduce the need to significantly
increase either station’s capacity, and upgrades to either station would be substantially limited to
routine maintenance and regular upgrades, such as pump repair and equipment replacement.
Finally, Pare anticipates that the largest increase in future water use would be in the proposed Rocky
Hill Road tank pressure zone as a result of the newly created Planned Corporate zone in the
northeast corner of Town. An interconnection with Lincoln would directly benefit the customers in
this area of Town because it would provide water directly to the pressure zone with the largest water
demand.

SECTION 6
OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
6.1 Pipe Replacement Program
To maintain a properly functioning water system, potable water supply systems must
continuously replace or repair their aging infrastructure, particularly old CI and AC pipes that are
nearing the end of their useful service life. Unlined CI pipe is prone to tuberculation, or internal
corrosion and biofilm contamination that develops as a result of chemical reactions that take place
between the drinking water and the pipe, and external corrosion from reactions with soil and
groundwater. These factors cause capacity and pressure loss and a reduction in material strength,
thereby increasing system pumping costs, pipe leakage, and pipe ruptures, and decreasing water
supply available for fire protection. AC pipe is prone to internal leaching from reactions with
potable water and external leaching from reactions with groundwater. These chemical reactions
result in a reduction in pipe wall thickness, thereby increasing the risk of costly pipe breaks
within the distribution system. The SWSB currently maintains approximately 38,000 feet of CI
pipe and 46,000 feet of AC pipe. Based on past hydrant flow testing performed by Pare and
others, it appears as though the CI pipe in the SWSB system is generally in fair to good condition.
The AC pipe in the system; however, has had a history of significant breaks. Therefore, it
appears as though the more pressing concern in the SWSB system is AC pipe.
It is recommended that the SWSB focus on replacing their existing AC pipe over the next 20 to
30 years. AC pipe is difficult to rehabilitate in-place and is generally replaced rather than
rehabilitated. Based on the amount of AC pipe in the system, it is recommended that SWSB
target 1,500 to 2,300 feet of pipe for replacement each year.
While the CI pipe in the system appears to be in better condition that the AC pipe, it is
recommended the SWSB continue to monitor the condition of the pipe through hydrant flow
testing and period inspections. If and when the condition of the pipe worsens, it is recommended
that this CIP be updated to include a more comprehensive CI replacement or rehabilitation
program.
Pare Corporation ‐ 20 ‐
6.2 Unidirectional Flushing Program
In comparison to a conventional flushing program consisting of opening hydrants to allow water
to discharge until it appears clean, it is recommended that the SWSB implement a unidirectional
flushing program. A unidirectional flushing program consists of closing valves such that water
travels toward the flow hydrant in a single direction. This technique causes higher velocities in
the water main, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the flushing program. A unidirectional
flushing program typically requires shorter flushing durations, which results in less water than a
conventional flushing program. This program should begin at the water source(s) and be
performed from larger to smaller diameter mains as the flushing program progresses through the
system. Benefits of a unidirectional flushing program include removing tuberculation, sediment,
and biofilm within the water main, reducing chlorine demand, and exercising valves.
6.3 Valve Operating Program
The purpose of a valve operating program is to assure reliable operation and maintain water
quality in the SWSB system. AWWA recommends exercising water main line valves for a full
cycle and returned to normal position to prevent buildup of tuberculation or other deposits which
could render the valve inoperable. It is ideal to exercise valves in conjunction with a
unidirectional hydrant flushing program annually or biannually. There are multiple benefits of
fully operational valves. Water main breaks are able to be isolated resulting in lower water loss
and the least possible disruption of service to customers. A valve operating program also allows
for geographic information to be updated if valve locations are unknown. Valve life is extended
and valves are quicker to shut in emergency situations. Moreover, the program identifies which
valves in the system operate properly and which valves require maintenance or replacment,
resulting in more regular maintenance activities and an increase in system reliability.1
6.4 Meter Replacement Program
The SWSB has one master (source) meter, located on the interconnection with Providence Water
at the Longview Reservoir. This meter is a 12-inch Venturi-type meter that was installed in 1997
and tested and calibrated annually, most recently in 2013. It is read weekly and records in gallons.
It is annually checked and calibrated by the SWSB. The SWSB meters 100% of the water
distributed to its customers. The SWSB has upgraded distribution meters throughout the system
to radio-read meters in recent years. A State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan was used in 2012 to
1 Satterfield, Zane, P.E. "Valve Exercising." Tech Brief 7.2 (2007): n. pag. National Environmental Services Center. West Virginia University. Web.
Pare Corporation ‐ 21 ‐
complete the Town’s meter upgrade program. Meter testing and calibration is provided by the
SWSB as requested by the customer. During meter reading and billing cycles, SWSB staff
reviews historical account usage. For inconsistencies in water use, staff interviews the property
owners to determine apparent causes for this variance in use and physically checks meters to
ensure they are registering properly. Maintenance on the meters is generally not performed unless
it can be done so relatively efficiently; otherwise, the meter is replaced with a new meter.
There have typically been between 12 and 15 customers identified as “major users”, defined as
customers that use 3 million gallons annually. These customers are connected through 38 service
connections with meters that range in size from 1-inch to 10-inch. Some major users, such as
Bryant University, Fidelity Investments and Stony Brook Apartments, have several service
connections of varying size.
While the recently-completed meter replacement program is a major step toward minimizing
unaccounted for water, water meters are subject to wear resulting in inaccuracies in flow
measurements. Therefore, funding should be allocated toward meter replacement at areas where
inconsistencies are observed in water usage to optimize revenue recovery in the SWSB’s
distribution system.
6.5 Tank Inspection and Maintenance Program
The SWSB should implement a tank inspection and maintenance program including inspection of
sanitary conditions, coating system conditions, safety and security conditions, structural
conditions, and general details. Sanitary conditions pertain to possible contamination of stored
water. Coating system conditions include interior and exterior paint conditions. Safety and
security conditions pertain to the safety of maintenance workers and inspectors as well as reduced
accessibility to the storage tank by unauthorized individuals. Structural conditions are those that
compromise the structural integrity of the water storage facility. General details include up-to-
date and accurate information on construction features including tank dimensions, overflow
height, overflow pipe size, etc.
Sanitary, safety, security, and structural conditions should be inspected annually. Coating system
conditions should be inspected every two to five years. Cleaning of storage facilities should occur
every two to five years, depending on the amount of silt buildup. Frequency of updating general
details of the storage facility depend on the quality of system records kept. This information
Pare Corporation ‐ 22 ‐
should be physically determined before any major repairs or expansions are performed on the
facility. The storage tank should be drained and disinfected before any inspection occurs unless a
remote-operated vehicle (ROV) is used to perform the inspection. Coating systems should be
reapplied every fifteen years.2
6.6 Leak Detection Program
Water mains, service lines, and valves can fail as they age. The effects of a leaking pipe are
usually not visible aboveground. In addition to water loss, leakage can result in reduced pressure
in the distribution system. Moreover, increasing pressure in the water distribution system to
compensate for this pressure loss will amplify the volume of water lost through leakage. Without
a leak detection program, leaks may only be discovered when they are visible at the surface or
when infrastructure collapses. Therefore, it is recommended that the SWSB implement a leak
detection program. Attaching data loggers and leak noise correlators to hydrants and valves
overnight allows for the detection of leaks through vibrations being recorded in the early hours of
the morning when water flow is minimal. Combining this technique with traditional geophone
surveying on the surface, leak locations are determined. Pipes can then be repaired to prevent
further water loss. It is recommended to repeat a leak detection program every three years.3
6.7 Hydrant Replacement Program
The SWSB should be regularly inspecting their hydrants to determine if each hydrant and
auxiliary valve is functioning and meets fire protections standards. Preventative maintenance
should be performed concurrently with inspections. Inspections and preventative maintenance
should be performed every one to three years. Hydrants failing inspections should be repaired or
replaced as soon as possible.4
6.8 GIS, Mapping, & Asset Management Program
Pare has recently completed the development of a plan and field card database for the SWSB.
This database is the first step toward implementation of a GIS, Mapping, & Asset Management
Program for the SWSB’s water supply system. By mapping the SWSB’s assets in a GIS, the
Town will be able to improve the operation and maintenance of its water supply. For example, the

Pare Corporation ‐ 23 ‐
Town may be able to identify the location and water usage patterns of their customers, trends in
water main breaks, and locations of critical system components (e.g., pipes, valves, meters).
Pare Corporation ‐ 24 ‐
SECTION 7
SCADA SYSTEM
Currently, the water level status of all three tanks is continuously transmitted via telemetry to the
pump stations to control pump operations, and also to the Town’s Department of Public Works
building where water levels are recorded on continuous circular charts. The tank level signals
from the Rocky Hill Road Tank and the Island Woods Tank are received at the Longview
Reservoir Booster Pump Station where they are displayed on digital level indicators and used to
control pump operation at the station. These signals are then transmitted to the Limerock Booster
Pump Station to control pump operation at that facility. The programmable logic controller (PLC)
in the Longview Reservoir Pump Station allows the operator to select which tank (i.e., Rocky Hill
Road Tank or Island Woods Tank) will operate the booster stations. The water level from the
Burlingame Tank is received at the Davis Booster Pump Station for operation of that station and
is displayed on a digital level indicator. This signal is transmitted back to the Longview Booster
Pump Station. The Longview Station then transmits the levels of all three storage tanks to the
Department of Public Works for continuous recording on the circular charts.
The system’s existing supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is delivered via
a wireline network. The SWSB should consider retrofitting its existing SCADA system for
wireless access and ultimately to transition the system to radio transmission for communication
between the storage tanks and other critical system facilities. This would eliminate existing
issues experienced by the Town with their SCADA system, specifically the system’s unreliability
(e.g., outage from damaged lines) and an escalating cost for operating and maintaining the private
line through its communications provider.

SECTION 8
PRIORITY SCHEDULE & COSTS
The critical system improvements that this plan evaluates include the replacement of the Rocky
Hill Road storage tank, installation of a new interconnection with the Town of Lincoln, and the
installation of new transmission mains. Capital improvements have been divided into three phases
over the next twenty years (i.e., 0-5 years, 5-10 years, and 10-20 years). A priority schedule of
these CIPs is provided below.
0-5 Years
CIP 1: Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs for construction of a new 1 MG
elevated storage tank, demolition of the existing tank 1 MG tank, and site restoration is
approximately $3.5M. This price excludes the cost of lead remediation at the site, if
present. Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to construct an interconnection
with Lincoln, including a new booster pump station, 1,300 feet of pipe along Rt. 116, and
a PRV vault, is $1.6M. A significant portion of this cost is the installation of the booster
pump station.
5-10 Years
CIP 2: Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to install 4,800 feet of new pipe
along Douglas Pike is $1.9M. A significant portion of this cost is associated with the
portion of water main crossing the Wenscott Reservoir causeway.
CIP 3: The water main that is being installed on Ridge Road as part of the High Ridge
Estates development would allow this CIP to be done in two phases, one south of High
Ridge Estates, and one north of High Ridge Estates. Each phase could be completed
independently of the other, which would allow more latitude in scheduling construction.
Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to install 6,900 of new 12-inch DI pipe
along Ridge Road and Limerock Road is $2.3M.
Pare Corporation ‐ 26 ‐
10-20 Years
CIP 4: Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to install 7,700 feet of new 12-inch
DI water main on Ridge Road and Stillwater Road between Limerock Road and Thurber
Boulevard is $2.6M.
CIP 5: Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to install 4,885 feet of 16-inch DI
water main on George Washington Highway and Farnum Pike, including two bridge
crossings over the Woonasquatucket River, is $2.1M.
CIP 6: Pare’s opinion of probable construction costs to install 8,500 feet of new 12-inch
DI pipe along Harris Road is $2.9M.
A system map showing each CIP is provided as Appendix A. Refer to Appendix B for a detailed
breakdown of the opinion of probable construction cost for each CIP.
The SWSB’s existing O&M budget for the water supply system is $1.9M. In an effort to create a
more comprehensive accounting of future system costs, this CIP includes O&M projects to be
implemented to ensure a safe, reliable water supply system. A summary of each O&M project and
its corresponding cost is provided below:
Pipe Replacement Program: The SWSB currently maintains 46,000 feet of AC pipe. To
replace this pipe over the next 20 years, approximately 5% (2,300 feet) of AC pipe should be
replaced in the system each year. To achieve this objective, the SWSB should budget
$750,000 annually for its pipe replacement program.
Unidirectional Flushing Program: The SWSB should budget $7,500 annually for its
unidirectional flushing program, plus a one-time cost of $10,000 to develop the program. It is
assumed that this program will be implemented by SWSB staff.
Valve Operating Program: The SWSB should budget $15,000 annually for its valve
operating program. This cost includes locating, exercising, and performing minor repairs
(e.g., valve cover replacement) at each valve as well as valve replacement for inoperable
valves.
Pare Corporation ‐ 27 ‐
Meter Replacement Program: The SWSB should budget $10,000 annually for its meter
replacement program.
Tank Inspection and Maintenance Program: The SWSB should budget $75,000 annually
for its tank inspection and maintenance program to be set aside for future painting and repairs
to the SWSB’s water storage tanks.
Leak Detection Program: The SWSB should budget $5,000 annually for its leak
detection program.
Hydrant Replacement Program: The SWSB should budget $15,000 annually for its
hydrant replacement program.
GIS, Mapping, & Asset Management Program: The SWSB should budget $50,000 for
startup costs, including purchasing the software and development of the proposed GIS
database, and $5,000 annually for licensing and general maintenance its GIS, mapping, and
asset management program.
In addition to the abovementioned O&M projects, the SWSB should budget $200,000 for
upgrading the SWSB’s SCADA system to radio transmission and hardware upgrades, $150,000
for upgrading/replacing the electrical systems in the Longview and Limerock pump stations, and
$150,000 for replacing the motors and pumps in the Davis pump station. A proposed project
schedule for implementation of these capital improvements and O&M projects is provided in
Appendix C.

SECTION 9
NEXT STEPS
The SWSB system serves an area that is increasing in desirability for development. The Town is
welcoming this development, particularly the large-scale commercial development along Rt. 7
and 116 in the vicinity of I-295. Such development will require improvements to the water
system so that it may provide high-quality water at adequate flow and pressure. This CIP may be
used by the SWSB to budget future capital expenditures that can be used as a part of a future rate
study. Based on Pare’s evaluation of capital improvements in the SWSB’s water supply system,
Pare recommends that the Town move forward with design and permitting for CIP 1 in earnest to
provide source water redundancy, reduce dependency on its critical transmission mains, and
enhance water quality in the SWSB’s water supply system.
It is assumed that SWSB will need to increase water usage rates to pay for the capital
improvements outlined in this report. It is recommended that SWSB conduct a water rate study,
using the information collected in this report, in order to identify what the appropriate future rates
would be to provide sustainable long-term maintenance of the system and investment in new and
upgraded infrastructure.

Rocky Hill Road Tank Evaluation
March 11, 2015 Mr. Seth Lemoine Public Works Director – Town of Smithfield 64 Farnum Pike Smithfield, Rhode Island 02917 Re: Rocky Hill Road Tank Evaluation
Smithfield Water Supply Board Smithfield, Rhode Island PARE Project No. 03066.37 Dear Mr. Lemoine: As requested, Pare Corporation (PARE) has completed the Rocky Hill Road tank evaluation for the Smithfield Water Supply Board (SWSB). The evaluation was performed utilizing the existing computerized hydraulic model of the SWSB’s water supply and distribution system. Using the hydraulic model, PARE evaluated the water supply system under various tank replacement scenarios. In addition to reviewing system hydraulics, including how each scenario impacts system pressure, fire protection, and emergency conditions, PARE completed a cost-benefit analysis for each scenario to develop a recommendation for the future of the Rocky Hill Road tank. PROJECT BACKGROUND The SWSB has three water storage tanks: the 0.3 MG Burlingame Road tank, the 1.0 MG Rocky Hill Road tank, and the 4.0 MG Island Woods (Alpha) tank. The Rocky Hill Road and Island Woods tanks serve the same service area and have matching overflow elevations (521 ft MSL). The Burlingame tank serves a separate service area and has an overflow elevation of 576 ft MSL. In 2010, the SWSB performed an inspection of all three water storage tanks. The inspection report identified the Rocky Hill Road tank as having significant deterioration, the most significant of the three tanks. The estimated cost to rehabilitate the Rocky Hill Road tank, which includes paint stripping, structural repairs, and surface recoating, is expected to be in excess of $600,000. Furthermore, the tank was repainted in 1997 at a cost of nearly $200,000 and could need repainting 15-20 years after the next rehabilitation. However, there are several options available to the SWSB in lieu of reinvesting in the existing Rocky Hill Road tank, reported to be approximately 50 years of age, which could potentially save the Town money in the long run. PARE’s evaluation focused on four potential improvement/replacement scenarios, including rehabilitating the existing tank. Each scenario is described below.
1. Rehabilitate the existing tank, including complete interior and exterior paint removal and structural repairs;
2. Build a new tank at another suitable location in the system, including the complete demolition and removal of the existing tank;
3. Demolition of the existing tank with no replacement, which means the system would have only two tanks, the Island Woods tank and the Burlingame tank; and
4. Replace the existing tank at the same site, with a new precast concrete storage tank or an elevated tank, if feasible.

Mr. Seth Lemoine (2) March 11, 2015
PARE’s evaluation focused on how each scenario would impact system pressure and fire protection. The project was performed utilizing the SWSB’s existing computerized hydraulic model in accordance with the American Water Works Association (AWWA) Manual M32 – Distribution Network Analysis for Water Utilities. The evaluation also addressed how each scenario would impact the system’s vulnerability to a disruption in service (i.e., emergency conditions). For each scenario, PARE also prepared an opinion of probable construction costs for the initial construction/replacement/repair, as well as a 50-year life-cycle cost for each option (i.e., maintenance costs). It should be noted that this evaluation excludes the cost of the abatement of lead-based paint, which may exist at the Rocky Hill Road tank site and would need to be addressed in accordance with State and Federal requirements regardless of which scenario is deemed to be most beneficial to the Town. RESULTS Scenario 1: Rehabilitating the Rocky Hill Road tank would result in no change to the existing water supply system pressure, fire protection, or emergency conditions. The tank would maintain the existing 521-foot hydraulic grade line (HGL) for this pressure zone and provide the same volume of water for fire protection and emergency conditions as it does currently. However, rehabilitating the existing tank would do nothing to improve the system’s storage configuration, which has resulted in low tank turnover and high water age. The SWSB system has a significant volume of storage for its size (i.e., 5.3 MG of storage in the system with an average daily demand of less than 1.0 MGD). Due to the storage configuration, only 450,000 gallons is considered usable in the Rocky Hill Road tank pressure zone, which includes 94% of system storage (i.e., storage that is located above an elevation that would provide a minimum of 20 psi to all customers in the system). This usable storage volume is dictated largely by the neighborhood at the base of the Rocky Hill Road tank. A number of those customers are situated at an elevation very similar to the bottom of the tank, which means that these customers receive very low pressure, less than 20 psi when the water level in the tank fluctuates by as little as 5 feet. As a result, the 1.0 MG Rock Hill Road tank has only 125,000 gallons of usable storage, or 12.5 percent of the total tank storage. This low volume of usable storage means that the Rocky Hill Road tank is bound to a very narrow operating range, which results in low turnover of the water in the tank. PARE’s opinion of probable construction costs to rehabilitate the tank, including paint stripping, structural repairs, and surface recoating, is approximately $680,000. In addition, the tank would need repainting and repair of deteriorating structural components over the next 50 years. The 50-year life-cycle costs for this option are estimated to be approximately $2.3M, which includes the initial restoration of the tank. The life-cycle cost could be substantially more due to the uncertainty in the cost of the repair and/or replacement in the future. Scenario 2: Based on the current configuration of storage in the system, it could be beneficial to demolish the tank and build a new tank in a different location in the system that provides more usable storage, specifically between the Longview and Limerock booster pump stations. In addition, if a new tank were situated between the Longview and Limerock booster pump stations, water hammer, which can result in damage to system infrastructure, could be reduced in the system. Water hammer is created in the system through a delay in the starting and stopping of pumps at the Longview and Limerock booster pump stations, which are interlocked and controlled through the system’s telemetry system. A new tank would
DRAFT
Mr. Seth Lemoine (3) March 11, 2015
allow the two stations to run independently of each other (i.e., remove the interlock) and could substantially reduce water hammer in the system. It is also possible that a new tank at a new location could add to the system’s emergency storage by siting it at a location that maximizes its usable storage. In order to analyze the impact of a new tank situated between the two pumps stations, PARE reviewed static pressures for customers in the area between the two booster pump stations. Elevations in this area range from 200 feet along Bicentennial Way to 378 feet at Dillon Lane. A desired system pressure range of 35 to 90 psi was utilized to develop a target operating range for a hypothetical tank that would serve customers between an elevation range of 200 feet to 378 feet, as identified in the following table.
TABLE 1 Proposed Tank Operating Range
Location Elevation (ft) Hydraulic Grade at 35 psi (ft)
Hydraulic Grade at 90 psi (ft)
Operating Range (ft)
Dillon Lane 378 459 586 459-586 Bicentennial Way 200 281 408 281-408
As indicated in Table 1, a hypothetical tank designed to serve Dillon Lane would need to have an operating range somewhere between 459 and 586 feet to provide suitable pressure to customers in that area. Similarly, a tank designed to serve Bicentennial Way would need to have an operating range somewhere between 281 to 408 feet. As there is no overlap in these two operating ranges, it seems infeasible to provide suitable pressure to both areas from a single tank. For example, to serve Dillon Lane, a new tank could be no lower than 459 feet, to provide 35 psi to customers on Dillon Lane. At the minimum elevation of 459 feet, Bicentennial Way would experience static system pressure of approximately 112 psi, well above 90 psi. Conversely, a tank designed to accommodate Bicentennial Way would require a maximum elevation of 408 feet, which would provide customers on Dillon Lane with only 13 psi, significantly below 35 psi. As such, it appears infeasible to build a new tank between the booster pump stations that could adequately serve the customers in this area of the system. It’s possible that the Town could consider dividing this area into two service areas with two separate tanks, which would address the issue of the widely varying topography. However, this option would result in an overly complex system and would add significant cost to the project. As there doesn’t appear to be a technically feasible or financially viable way to build a single tank to serve this area, PARE did not evaluate this option further and did not prepare an opinion of probable construction costs or perform a life-cycle cost analysis. Scenario 3: Based on a review of the existing model during average day demand (ADD), maximum day demand (MDD), and peak hour (PH) demand scenarios, it appears that demolishing the existing tank would have little to no adverse impact on system pressure. However, PARE also modeled how this option would impact fire protection in the water supply system. AWWA M32 dictates that the fire flow at any given point in the system would be the rate of flow of water obtainable at a minimum residual pressure of 20 psi. This document also requires that all points in the distribution system maintain a minimum residual pressure of 20 psi during fire flow conditions. The Smithfield Town Ordinance is
DRAFT
Mr. Seth Lemoine (4) March 11, 2015
consistent with the AWWA M32 standard and states that the minimum residual pressure at any point in the water distribution system during fire flow conditions shall be 20 psi. Under fire flow conditions, model results indicate that demolition of the existing tank would significantly impact fire protection in this area of the system. Specifically, facilities located along Business Park Drive may no longer be able to meet their fire protection requirements. For example, under existing fire flow conditions Reeb Millwork Corporation, located at 19 Business Park Drive, can obtain approximately 2,400 to 2,500 gpm of fire flow at a residual pressure of 20 psi. With the tank offline, the available fire flow would decrease to approximately 800 gpm. Based on a hydraulic model evaluation prepared by PARE in April 2006 for the proposed RNE facility (now Reeb Millwork Corporation), the facility required 2,000 gpm for fire protection. At 2,000 gpm the model reported a residual pressure of 21 psi, just above the required minimum pressure of 20 psi. With the existing tank offline, the hydraulic model indicates that the residual pressure in the system would fall well below 20 psi at a fire flow of 2,000 gpm, even below 0 psi under certain circumstances. Based on these results, it appears that the existing tank is critical to fire protection in this area of the system. Consequently, demolition of the existing tank with no replacement option is not a viable alternative. Moreover, removing the existing tank from the system with no replacement option would result in a decrease in redundancy in the system – only the Island Woods tank would remain to serve this part of the system. While there appears to be adequate volume in the Island Woods tank, without redundancy this tank would need to remain in service without disruption, which would make maintenance and future repairs difficult. While this option is not recommended, it would be the least expensive option. The cost for this option would likely be in the range of $50,000 to $100,000 for the demolition of the existing tank. Please note that these costs do not include the cost of lead remediation at the site, if present. If lead contamination is present at the site, due to the potential use of lead-based paint on the tank exterior, it would need to be addressed regardless of what option is selected. The cost of lead remediation is highly variable based on the degree of contamination and site constraints, and therefore has not been included in this analysis. Scenario 4: Similar to Scenario 1, demolishing the existing Rocky Hill Road tank and building a new tank at the same location with the same overflow elevation would result in little to no adverse impact on the existing water supply system pressure, fire protection, or emergency conditions. The new tank would maintain the existing 521 ft HGL for this pressure zone and provide the same volume of water for fire protection and emergency conditions as the existing tank. Due to existing topographic constraints, the neighborhood directly abutting the tank will continue to have low water pressure. If the proposed tank could be constructed at a slightly higher HGL, this tank could provide higher pressure to these customers, which would result in an improvement in service in this area. However, if the Rocky Hill Road tank were raised but the Island Woods tank kept at the same elevation as it is now, the Island Woods tank would likely become “locked up”, meaning the pressure in the system would be too high for water to come out of the tank, resulting in essentially stagnant water in the tank. This would result in an increase in water age in the Island Woods tank and a decrease in water quality in the SWSB’s water supply system. Therefore, without making significant changes to how the system is operated, a new tank at this site would need to be built with the same overflow elevation as the existing tank (521 ft MSL). However, the Town could consider building a different style tank than the existing ground storage tank, such as an
DRAFT
Mr. Seth Lemoine (5) March 11, 2015
elevated storage tank. An elevated tank would provide a greater percentage of usable storage by elevating the entire volume of stored water, although it is unlikely that the entire storage volume would be usable given how small the usable storage range is (approximately 5 feet). For example, a 1.0 MG elevated storage tank with a side wall depth of 30 feet would have approximately 161,000 gallons of usable storage, compared to the current tank’s 125,000 gallons of usable storage. While an elevated storage tank provides a marginal increase in usable storage, the cost of an elevated tank is significantly higher than a ground storage tank with the same volume. Provided in the table below is a comparison of the usable storage provided by different style tanks with 1 million gallons of volume. For comparison purposes, the table also provides the costs for 0.5 million gallon tanks of different styles to show how the cost per gallon of usable storage compares.
TABLE 2 Proposed Tank Usable Storage Cost Estimate
Proposed Tank Cost ($)
Usable Storage Volume
(cf)
Usable Storage Volume

($/gal) 0.5 MG Ground $ 1,000,000 6,927 51,816 $ 19.30
0.5 MG Elevated $ 1,500,000 13,210 98,814 $ 15.18
1.0 MG Ground $ 1,500,000 13,670 102,251 $ 14.67
1.0 MG Elevated $ 2,500,000 21,504 160,851 $ 15.54
The tank with the lowest cost per gallon is a 1.0 MG ground storage tank, although it is only slightly less expensive than the cost per gallon for an elevated tank and provides quite a bit less actual usable storage. Should the Town choose to demolish the existing tank and build a new tank with the same volume on the same site, PARE’s opinion of probable construction costs is approximately $1,500,000, which includes a 1.0 MG ground-level prestressed concrete storage tank, site work, electrical, and other miscellaneous costs. As previously mentioned, PARE proposes that the replacement tank be constructed of concrete due to the reduction in maintenance costs over the life of the tank. The 50-year life cycle costs for this option are anticipated to be approximately $2.1M, which includes the initial cost of building the new tank. If the Town were to select an elevated 1.0 MG tank, the total life cycle costs would increase to approximately $2.6M.

Scenario 1: Rehabilitate the existing tank Scenario 2: Demolish the existing tank and build a new tank at another suitable location within the system Scenario 3: Demolish the existing tank without replacing it Scenario 4: Demolish the existing tank and build a new tank at the same location Based on current system hydraulics, demolition of the existing tank without replacement (Scenario 3) or replacing the demolished tank with a new tank in a different location within the system (Scenario 2) are not viable scenarios due to fire protection requirements for businesses in the area of the system surrounding the Rocky Hill Road tank and tank construction constraints surrounding these businesses located along Business Park Drive (e.g., vicinity to airport, wetlands, etc.). Therefore, in lieu of reinvesting in the 50-year-old tank with an escalating maintenance cost (Scenario 1), it appears that building a new tank at the same location is the most cost-effective option for the Town (Scenario 4). Based on the usable storage analysis performed by PARE, replacing the existing tank with a new 1.0 MG ground level storage tank provides the lowest cost per gallon of usable storage. Although the 1.0 MG elevated water storage tank would provide the most usable storage in the tank and enhance water quality through an increased tank turnover rate, the price of the elevated tank would be greater than the ground level storage tank, both in total construction cost and cost per gallon of usable storage. This usable storage could be greatly increased should the Town choose to construct an elevated tank with a higher HGL. Under existing conditions, if the Rocky Hill Road tank were raised but the Island Woods tank kept at the same elevation as it is now, the Island Woods tank would likely become “locked up”, resulting in essentially stagnant water in the tank. However, the SWSB Capital Improvement Plan includes the future installation of an emergency interconnection with the Town of Lincoln Water Commission (LWC). This project would require the construction of a pump station at the emergency interconnection to boost the HGL from Lincoln to Smithfield. In lieu of replacing the existing tank with a new ground level storage tank, PARE recommends the SWSB implement the emergency interconnection project in conjunction with the installation of an elevated storage tank and pressure reducing valve. This would allow the SWSB to create a new Rocky Hill Road tank pressure zone served through a permanent interconnection with the LWC, thereby increasing usable storage and alleviating pressure concerns limited by the HGL of the Island Woods Tank while maintaining an adequate volume of storage to be used for fire flow requirements and emergency conditions in this area of the system. Moreover, adding a
DRAFT

new pressure zone as part of the proposed emergency interconnection project will alleviate many of the issues the existing Rocky Hill Road tank has with turnover, pressure, and water quality. We would be pleased to meet with the Town to discuss the findings of this report at your convenience.
