<br />FEBRUARY 18, 1957
<br />TO THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
<br />CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA
<br />GENTLEMEN;
<br />FOR SEVERAL MONTHS WE NAVE $EEN WORKING WITH OUR~NGINEERS, POLGLAZE: AND
<br />BASENBERG, ON PLANS FOR A PROJECT TO REPLACE THE. MECHUM'S RIVER WATER PUMP AND
<br />FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A PERMANENT TYPE, CONCRfTE INTAKE DAM TO SERVE THIS PUMP.
<br />THE PRELIMINARY WORK SUCH AS CORE DRILLING, SURVEYING, DESIGN, ETC., HAS BEEN
<br />COMPLETED AND THE TOTAL CCST OF THE PROJECT IS ESTIMATED AT X75,000.00
<br />REPORT OF CITY MANAGER THE PUMPING FACILITY WHICH WE HAVE AT MECHUM'S RIVER AT Tyr PRESENT Tlh}E IS
<br />RE: MECHUM'S RIVER DaM ABOUT 30 YEARS OLD AND IS NOT DESIGNED TO DO A JOB THAT IS NOW NEEDED. THIS PUMP
<br />tS ALSO LOCATED BELOW FLOOD LEVEL AND CANNOT BE LEFT IN PLACE FOR IMMEDIATE USE.
<br />ALSO A TEMPORARY INTAKE DAM MUST BE CONSTRUCTED EACH YEAR OR BEFORE THE PUMP CAN
<br />BE PUT INTO OPERATION SINCE HIGH WATER IN ThiAT AREA ALWAYS DESTROYS ANY TEMPORARY
<br />DAM STRUCTURE.
<br />THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW PUMP AND A PERMANENT TYPE DAM IS NEEDED TO MAKE
<br />AVAILABLE, DAILY IF WAN7E0, APPROXIMATELY 4 MILLION GALLONS OF ADDITIONAL GOOD
<br />WATER SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THE MOORMAN'S RIVER WATER.
<br />THIS WATER WILL BE PUMPED INTC THE MOORMAN'S RIVER 18" LINE, WHICH CROSSES
<br />MECHUM'S RIVER AT THIS PUMP LOCATION, AND THIS WATER CAN EITHER BE SENT DIRECT
<br />TO THE FILTER PLANT OR CAN BE PLACED IN THE RAGGED MOUNTAIN RESERVOIRS.
<br />THERE WILL BE TIMES, HOWEVER, bJHEN THE FLCW IN MECHUM'S RIVER DROPS BELOW
<br />THE 4 MILLION DAILY FLOW AND IF SOME WATER, SAY Z MILLION GALLONS PER DAY, IS
<br />STILL YJANTED FROM THAT SOURCE, THE PUMPS WI!_L BE DESIGNCD TO CUT SACK TO DELI`JER
<br />ONLY THAT QUANTITY. THE PRINCIPAL USE OF THIS FACILITY, HOWEVER, WILL BE TO
<br />.SUPPLY WATER DIRECT TO THE FILTER PLANT AND TH-:.REBY ENABLE US TO RETAIN AND KEEP
<br />THE MOOP.MAN'S RIVER RESERVOIR FULL OF WATER TO TAKE CARE. OF ANY EMERGENTY CAUSCO
<br />BY A PROLONGED DRY SPELL. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN THE P9ECHUM'S RIVER WATER IS
<br />OF A BETTER QUALITY THAN THE WATER 41E HAVE IMPOUNDED IN EITHER OF OUP, RESERVOIR=
<br />AND iT WOULD BE TO GUI: ADVANTAGE, '.WHEN THIS HAPPENS, TO USE THIS SOURCE OF SUPPLY
<br />SINCE THE COST OF TREATING i T WOU'dD BC. LESS THAN THf_ COST OF TREATING THC f h1POUND "CCS
