REPORT SUMMARY

On January 17 2006 a Sanitary Survey was conducted of the Berkeley Springs Water System Located at the intersection of Wilkes and Fairfax Streets the Berkeley Springs Water Treatment Plant is operated an average of 24 hours per day producing 750000 gallons of water Source water for the system is taken from the spillway channel of the Lord Fairfax springs with treatment consisting of coagulation filtration and disinfection Five gravity storage tanks provide storage for 15 days of normal usage and maintain pressure on the distribution system A 250 KW Kohler emergency generator with automatic transfer switch assures the water treatment plant can continue to produce water in the event of a power outage

Results of the survey show that the Berkeley Springs Water System is not complying with the requirements of the WV Public Water Systems Legislative Rules Significant deficiencies include (1) operating the plant without a certified operator on duty Permit 16759 was issued to the Berkeley Springs water system on October 4 2005 to operate the water treatment plant by automation At the time of the survey the required controls were not functional On January 25 2007 it was reported that all necessary controls to operate the plant by automation had been installed Inspection on February 2 2007 confirmed the controls were installed as permitted and were operational (2) no active Cross-Connection Control Program Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross-Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

Other deficiencies which need to be addressed include installation of security fencing at the Route 522 Ridge and Hospital storage tanks installing padlocks on the access manhole covers at the Hospital and Myers Street storage tanks and calibrating the on-line turbidimeters on a quarterly basis

A water main replacement project to reduce the high percentage of unaccounted water was approximately 45 complete at the time of the survey It is anticipated the distribution system upgrades will improve water accountability and reduce plant production time

SOURCE

Three springs located in the Berkeley Springs State Park provide source water for the water system Overflows from the Lord Fairfax Ladies and Lord Fairfax Gentlemens spring discharge into a spillway from where the flow is diverted into a 20000-gallon raw water wet well A 12 x 12 stainless steel screen with io mesh protects against leaves and other large objects entering the wet well The Covered Basin Spring which supplies water to the State Parks north bathhouse can be used by the water system in an emergency The flow from each source can be isolated from the wetwell by gate valves

Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant through 180 LF of 8 pipe by dual Fairbanks Morse submersible pumps rated 700 gpm 65 ft TDH The pumps are alternated manually and are controlled by the water level in the clearwell with a low wet well and high filter water level shutofE The raw water flow is metered and the rate of flow is displayed on the plants control panel Access into the wet well is restricted by a locked access cover An operator visits the intake and wet well daily to perform routine maintenance and manually clean the intake screen Due to problems in the fall from leaves and moss plugging the primary intake screen a secondary screen has been temporarily installed to provide additional protection During an emergency the old 500 gallon wetwell can be placed in service Approximately 250 GPM can be pumped from this wetwell into the treatment plant using a Goulds submersible pump A spare FloServe submersible pump is stored at the plant This 20 Hp pump has a rated capacity of 400 GPM at 83 ft TDH

A Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Susceptibility Report have been completed for the springs which feed the spillway The spillway channel is a surface water source and has a high susceptibility to contamination A review of operational records show the raw water turbidity to be consistently below 1 O NTU pH 68 SU to 71 SU and the temperature to range from 66 F to 72 O F A review of regulatory monitoring records showed nitrates nitrites primary inorganic VOCs and SOCs to be non-detectable or present at levels well below the Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCLs)

The three springs have a reported flow of 1020 gpm Five hundred (500) gpm of this flow has been allocated to the Towns water supply through the year 2027 With the installation of the surface water intake at the lower end of the spillway channel the Town can normally supply the demand without having to draw water directly from the spring collection boxes While the distribution upgrade should improve the water accountability the Town has begun exploring additional sources of water

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

REPORT SUMMARY

On January 17 2006 a Sanitary Survey was conducted of the Berkeley Springs Water System Located at the intersection of Wilkes and Fairfax Streets the Berkeley Springs Water Treatment Plant is operated an average of 24 hours per day producing 750000 gallons of water Source water for the system is taken from the spillway channel of the Lord Fairfax springs with treatment consisting of coagulation filtration and disinfection Five gravity storage tanks provide storage for 15 days of normal usage and maintain pressure on the distribution system A 250 KW Kohler emergency generator with automatic transfer switch assures the water treatment plant can continue to produce water in the event of a power outage

Results of the survey show that the Berkeley Springs Water System is not complying with the requirements of the WV Public Water Systems Legislative Rules Significant deficiencies include (1) operating the plant without a certified operator on duty Permit 16759 was issued to the Berkeley Springs water system on October 4 2005 to operate the water treatment plant by automation At the time of the survey the required controls were not functional On January 25 2007 it was reported that all necessary controls to operate the plant by automation had been installed Inspection on February 2 2007 confirmed the controls were installed as permitted and were operational (2) no active Cross-Connection Control Program Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross-Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

Other deficiencies which need to be addressed include installation of security fencing at the Route 522 Ridge and Hospital storage tanks installing padlocks on the access manhole covers at the Hospital and Myers Street storage tanks and calibrating the on-line turbidimeters on a quarterly basis

A water main replacement project to reduce the high percentage of unaccounted water was approximately 45 complete at the time of the survey It is anticipated the distribution system upgrades will improve water accountability and reduce plant production time

SOURCE

Three springs located in the Berkeley Springs State Park provide source water for the water system Overflows from the Lord Fairfax Ladies and Lord Fairfax Gentlemens spring discharge into a spillway from where the flow is diverted into a 20000-gallon raw water wet well A 12 x 12 stainless steel screen with io mesh protects against leaves and other large objects entering the wet well The Covered Basin Spring which supplies water to the State Parks north bathhouse can be used by the water system in an emergency The flow from each source can be isolated from the wetwell by gate valves

Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant through 180 LF of 8 pipe by dual Fairbanks Morse submersible pumps rated 700 gpm 65 ft TDH The pumps are alternated manually and are controlled by the water level in the clearwell with a low wet well and high filter water level shutofE The raw water flow is metered and the rate of flow is displayed on the plants control panel Access into the wet well is restricted by a locked access cover An operator visits the intake and wet well daily to perform routine maintenance and manually clean the intake screen Due to problems in the fall from leaves and moss plugging the primary intake screen a secondary screen has been temporarily installed to provide additional protection During an emergency the old 500 gallon wetwell can be placed in service Approximately 250 GPM can be pumped from this wetwell into the treatment plant using a Goulds submersible pump A spare FloServe submersible pump is stored at the plant This 20 Hp pump has a rated capacity of 400 GPM at 83 ft TDH

A Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Susceptibility Report have been completed for the springs which feed the spillway The spillway channel is a surface water source and has a high susceptibility to contamination A review of operational records show the raw water turbidity to be consistently below 1 O NTU pH 68 SU to 71 SU and the temperature to range from 66 F to 72 O F A review of regulatory monitoring records showed nitrates nitrites primary inorganic VOCs and SOCs to be non-detectable or present at levels well below the Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCLs)

The three springs have a reported flow of 1020 gpm Five hundred (500) gpm of this flow has been allocated to the Towns water supply through the year 2027 With the installation of the surface water intake at the lower end of the spillway channel the Town can normally supply the demand without having to draw water directly from the spring collection boxes While the distribution upgrade should improve the water accountability the Town has begun exploring additional sources of water

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

A requirement of the Surface Water Treatment Rule is that the combination of filtration and disinfection achieve a 3-log removalinactivation of Giardia cysts At the time of the survey the system was achieving a 646 log reduction (see attached CT work sheet)

Testing for the Disinfection By-products has shown the levels to be consistently below the established MCLs Under the Stage 2 Disinfection By-products Rule the Town will likely qualify for a 4030 waiver from having to monitor from additional sites during the one year Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Further instruction and guidance will be provided at a later date

From the clearwell the finished water is metered and pumped into the distribution system by dual Tait 8-stage vertical turbine pumps rated 500 GPM at 326 ft TDH The pumps are controlled by the water level in the Myers Street storage tank and have the low clear well shutoff set at 35 ft Dual HACH CL17 chlorine residual analyzers continuously measure the chlorine residual and a HACH 1720D online turbidimeter measures the turbidity entering the distribution system The results are recorded on a Honeywell chart recorder with the readings downloaded to floppy disks Alarms are provided which will signal the auto dialer in the event of a lowhigh filter water level low raw water wetwell level lowhigh clearwell high turbidity and low chlorine residual

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution system consists of approximately 22 miles of 1through 10 PVC galvanized steel ductile iron cast iron and copper mains 58 fire hydrants 3 booster pumping stations and 5 gravity storage tanks Working pressure in the distribution system varies from a low of 25 psi to a high of 125 psi The average system pressure was reported to be 95 psi Twelve customers have signed low pressure agreements and three of these customers have installed individual booster pumps All customers with pressure greater than 100 psi have been advised to install pressure regulators Pressure regulators are being installed by the utility for new customers if the pressure is greater than 130 psi It was reported there are accurate maps for most sections of the distribution system showing the size and location of mains valves hydrants and services A distribution upgrade which consists of replacing approximately 13000 LF of mains in the downtown area is approximately 45 complete

There are 58 fire hydrants in the distribution system Twelve of the hydrants are on 4 mains but this deficiency will be corrected with the scheduled improvements to the distribution system All hydrants have been flow and pressure tested and records are maintained at the water treatment plant Currently the hydrants are flushed only as needed

There is no set schedule for inspection and operation of the valves Several of the valves were reported to be non-operable These valves will be replaced with the scheduled distribution system improvements Records of the valves are also maintained at the water plant

Most repair work in the distribution system is performed by the Town All new water lines are disinfected flushed and sampled prior to being placed in service Pipe and repair materials of various sizes are stored at the Myers Street storage tank It was advised that the mains are thoroughly flushed when repairs are made to existing water lines

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

REPORT SUMMARY

On January 17 2006 a Sanitary Survey was conducted of the Berkeley Springs Water System Located at the intersection of Wilkes and Fairfax Streets the Berkeley Springs Water Treatment Plant is operated an average of 24 hours per day producing 750000 gallons of water Source water for the system is taken from the spillway channel of the Lord Fairfax springs with treatment consisting of coagulation filtration and disinfection Five gravity storage tanks provide storage for 15 days of normal usage and maintain pressure on the distribution system A 250 KW Kohler emergency generator with automatic transfer switch assures the water treatment plant can continue to produce water in the event of a power outage

Results of the survey show that the Berkeley Springs Water System is not complying with the requirements of the WV Public Water Systems Legislative Rules Significant deficiencies include (1) operating the plant without a certified operator on duty Permit 16759 was issued to the Berkeley Springs water system on October 4 2005 to operate the water treatment plant by automation At the time of the survey the required controls were not functional On January 25 2007 it was reported that all necessary controls to operate the plant by automation had been installed Inspection on February 2 2007 confirmed the controls were installed as permitted and were operational (2) no active Cross-Connection Control Program Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross-Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross-Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

Other deficiencies which need to be addressed include installation of security fencing at the Route 522 Ridge and Hospital storage tanks installing padlocks on the access manhole covers at the Hospital and Myers Street storage tanks and calibrating the on-line turbidimeters on a quarterly basis

A water main replacement project to reduce the high percentage of unaccounted water was approximately 45 complete at the time of the survey It is anticipated the distribution system upgrades will improve water accountability and reduce plant production time

SOURCE

Three springs located in the Berkeley Springs State Park provide source water for the water system Overflows from the Lord Fairfax Ladies and Lord Fairfax Gentlemens spring discharge into a spillway from where the flow is diverted into a 20000-gallon raw water wet well A 12 x 12 stainless steel screen with io mesh protects against leaves and other large objects entering the wet well The Covered Basin Spring which supplies water to the State Parks north bathhouse can be used by the water system in an emergency The flow from each source can be isolated from the wetwell by gate valves

Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant through 180 LF of 8 pipe by dual Fairbanks Morse submersible pumps rated 700 gpm 65 ft TDH The pumps are alternated manually and are controlled by the water level in the clearwell with a low wet well and high filter water level shutofE The raw water flow is metered and the rate of flow is displayed on the plants control panel Access into the wet well is restricted by a locked access cover An operator visits the intake and wet well daily to perform routine maintenance and manually clean the intake screen Due to problems in the fall from leaves and moss plugging the primary intake screen a secondary screen has been temporarily installed to provide additional protection During an emergency the old 500 gallon wetwell can be placed in service Approximately 250 GPM can be pumped from this wetwell into the treatment plant using a Goulds submersible pump A spare FloServe submersible pump is stored at the plant This 20 Hp pump has a rated capacity of 400 GPM at 83 ft TDH

A Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Susceptibility Report have been completed for the springs which feed the spillway The spillway channel is a surface water source and has a high susceptibility to contamination A review of operational records show the raw water turbidity to be consistently below 1 O NTU pH 68 SU to 71 SU and the temperature to range from 66 F to 72 O F A review of regulatory monitoring records showed nitrates nitrites primary inorganic VOCs and SOCs to be non-detectable or present at levels well below the Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCLs)

The three springs have a reported flow of 1020 gpm Five hundred (500) gpm of this flow has been allocated to the Towns water supply through the year 2027 With the installation of the surface water intake at the lower end of the spillway channel the Town can normally supply the demand without having to draw water directly from the spring collection boxes While the distribution upgrade should improve the water accountability the Town has begun exploring additional sources of water

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

-4-

A requirement of the Surface Water Treatment Rule is that the combination of filtration and disinfection achieve a 3-log removalinactivation of Giardia cysts At the time of the survey the system was achieving a 646 log reduction (see attached CT work sheet)

Testing for the Disinfection By-products has shown the levels to be consistently below the established MCLs Under the Stage 2 Disinfection By-products Rule the Town will likely qualify for a 4030 waiver from having to monitor from additional sites during the one year Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Further instruction and guidance will be provided at a later date

From the clearwell the finished water is metered and pumped into the distribution system by dual Tait 8-stage vertical turbine pumps rated 500 GPM at 326 ft TDH The pumps are controlled by the water level in the Myers Street storage tank and have the low clear well shutoff set at 35 ft Dual HACH CL17 chlorine residual analyzers continuously measure the chlorine residual and a HACH 1720D online turbidimeter measures the turbidity entering the distribution system The results are recorded on a Honeywell chart recorder with the readings downloaded to floppy disks Alarms are provided which will signal the auto dialer in the event of a lowhigh filter water level low raw water wetwell level lowhigh clearwell high turbidity and low chlorine residual

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution system consists of approximately 22 miles of 1through 10 PVC galvanized steel ductile iron cast iron and copper mains 58 fire hydrants 3 booster pumping stations and 5 gravity storage tanks Working pressure in the distribution system varies from a low of 25 psi to a high of 125 psi The average system pressure was reported to be 95 psi Twelve customers have signed low pressure agreements and three of these customers have installed individual booster pumps All customers with pressure greater than 100 psi have been advised to install pressure regulators Pressure regulators are being installed by the utility for new customers if the pressure is greater than 130 psi It was reported there are accurate maps for most sections of the distribution system showing the size and location of mains valves hydrants and services A distribution upgrade which consists of replacing approximately 13000 LF of mains in the downtown area is approximately 45 complete

There are 58 fire hydrants in the distribution system Twelve of the hydrants are on 4 mains but this deficiency will be corrected with the scheduled improvements to the distribution system All hydrants have been flow and pressure tested and records are maintained at the water treatment plant Currently the hydrants are flushed only as needed

There is no set schedule for inspection and operation of the valves Several of the valves were reported to be non-operable These valves will be replaced with the scheduled distribution system improvements Records of the valves are also maintained at the water plant

Most repair work in the distribution system is performed by the Town All new water lines are disinfected flushed and sampled prior to being placed in service Pipe and repair materials of various sizes are stored at the Myers Street storage tank It was advised that the mains are thoroughly flushed when repairs are made to existing water lines

-5-

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

Constructed in 1976 the Fairview Drive booster pumping station serves approximately 215 customers Housed in a concrete block building the pump station consists of dual Crane Deming closed coupled centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt US Electric motors The pumps are manually alternated and are controlled by the water level in the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank This pump station is not metered

Constructed in 2002 the Route 13 booster pumping station is presently serving 35 customers along US Route 522 South The prepackaged below-ground pumping station consists of dual Grundfos vertical mounted centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt 3-phase Baldor motors The pumps alternate automatically and are controlled by the water level in the 67000 gallon Route 522 storage tank Flow through this station is metered by a 3 Neptune turbine meter

The access doors for the pumping stations are maintained and locked An operator visits each pump station daily to check the controls and perform routine maintenance The pumps at the Fairview Drive and Route 13 booster station can be controlled from the treatment plant

-6-

STORAGE

Distribution storage is provided by five (5) gravity storage tanks having a combined capacity of 11 million gallons Storage is provided for about 15 days of normal usage Currently there are four pressure zones in the distribution system For the primary service area pressure is controlled by the Myers Street storage tank which has an overflow elevation of 894 ft Customers on Fairview Drive are served by a 200000 gallon elevated tank which has an overflow elevation of 100275 ft and customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank with an overflow elevation of 10845 ft The Golden Acres booster pumping station provides pressure for customers on Golden Lane but this station will soon be removed from service Operators visit the storage tanks at least twice a month to check for vandalism level controls and perform routine maintenance

All storage tanks can be isolated from the distribution system for maintenance and inspection The water level in all storage tanks is transmitted to the water treatment plant and displayed on the US Filter D26 controller which activates an audible alarm in the event of low tank level or tank overflow Plans call for connecting the alarms to the auto dialer system Digital level indicators located in the valve vaults allow the operators to monitor the water level at the tank sites

Constructed in 1978 the 500000 gallon Myers Street storage tank is located at the end of Myers Road (County Rte5222) and has an overflow elevation of 898 ft Access to the tank is restricted by a chain linked fence with a locked gate The ladder which provides access to the roof terminates 12 ft above the ground surface Both the overflow and vent are screened The water level in the tank is transmitted to the treatment plant to control the high service pumps (ON 50 ft OFF 599 ft) Inspection showed minor signs of corrosion and areas where the tank had been spot repainted Overall the tank was found to be in satisfactory condition

Constructed in 1964 the 175000 gallon Hospital storage tank was repainted in 2003 Overflow elevation of the tank is 882 ft with the water level controlled by an altitude valve Both the vent and overflow are properly screened and the overflow has been extended to ground level and discharges onto a splash pad There is no security fencing and the roof access ladder guard and roof access manhole are not secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition

Constructed in 1999 the 144000 gallon Ridge tank is located west of Town off Sir Johns Road Overflow elevation of the tank is 898 ft and the water level is controlled by a solenoid operated control valve (open 25 ft - closed 319 fk) The valve is being remotely controlled from the Water Treatment Plant to improve tank turnover There is no fencing at the tank site and the ladder guard and roof access manhole are not locked Both the vent and overflow are screened and the overflow extends to near ground level discharging onto a splash pad It was reported that the tank has poor water turnover

-7-

Constructed in 1997 the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank is located off Warm Springs Drive near the Middle School Overflow elevation of the tank is 100275 ft The water level is controlled by telemetry to the Fairview Drive booster pumping station The overflow pipe and vent are properly screened A chain linked fence with a locked gate restricts access to the tank Both the roof access manhole cover and roof access ladder guard were secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in good condition

Customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank constructed in 2002 Overflow elevation of the tank is 10845 A and the water level is controlled by telemetry to the Route 522 booster pumping station There is no fencing to restrict access to the tank Both the vent and overflow pipe are screened and the overflow extends to ground level discharging into a rip rap drainage ditch Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition Due to low turnover it is necessary to periodically overflow the tank to keep the water fresh and maintain measurable chlorine residual

SOURCE

Three springs located in the Berkeley Springs State Park provide source water for the water system Overflows from the Lord Fairfax Ladies and Lord Fairfax Gentlemens spring discharge into a spillway from where the flow is diverted into a 20000-gallon raw water wet well A 12 x 12 stainless steel screen with io mesh protects against leaves and other large objects entering the wet well The Covered Basin Spring which supplies water to the State Parks north bathhouse can be used by the water system in an emergency The flow from each source can be isolated from the wetwell by gate valves

Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant through 180 LF of 8 pipe by dual Fairbanks Morse submersible pumps rated 700 gpm 65 ft TDH The pumps are alternated manually and are controlled by the water level in the clearwell with a low wet well and high filter water level shutofE The raw water flow is metered and the rate of flow is displayed on the plants control panel Access into the wet well is restricted by a locked access cover An operator visits the intake and wet well daily to perform routine maintenance and manually clean the intake screen Due to problems in the fall from leaves and moss plugging the primary intake screen a secondary screen has been temporarily installed to provide additional protection During an emergency the old 500 gallon wetwell can be placed in service Approximately 250 GPM can be pumped from this wetwell into the treatment plant using a Goulds submersible pump A spare FloServe submersible pump is stored at the plant This 20 Hp pump has a rated capacity of 400 GPM at 83 ft TDH

A Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Susceptibility Report have been completed for the springs which feed the spillway The spillway channel is a surface water source and has a high susceptibility to contamination A review of operational records show the raw water turbidity to be consistently below 1 O NTU pH 68 SU to 71 SU and the temperature to range from 66 F to 72 O F A review of regulatory monitoring records showed nitrates nitrites primary inorganic VOCs and SOCs to be non-detectable or present at levels well below the Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCLs)

The three springs have a reported flow of 1020 gpm Five hundred (500) gpm of this flow has been allocated to the Towns water supply through the year 2027 With the installation of the surface water intake at the lower end of the spillway channel the Town can normally supply the demand without having to draw water directly from the spring collection boxes While the distribution upgrade should improve the water accountability the Town has begun exploring additional sources of water

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

A requirement of the Surface Water Treatment Rule is that the combination of filtration and disinfection achieve a 3-log removalinactivation of Giardia cysts At the time of the survey the system was achieving a 646 log reduction (see attached CT work sheet)

Testing for the Disinfection By-products has shown the levels to be consistently below the established MCLs Under the Stage 2 Disinfection By-products Rule the Town will likely qualify for a 4030 waiver from having to monitor from additional sites during the one year Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Further instruction and guidance will be provided at a later date

From the clearwell the finished water is metered and pumped into the distribution system by dual Tait 8-stage vertical turbine pumps rated 500 GPM at 326 ft TDH The pumps are controlled by the water level in the Myers Street storage tank and have the low clear well shutoff set at 35 ft Dual HACH CL17 chlorine residual analyzers continuously measure the chlorine residual and a HACH 1720D online turbidimeter measures the turbidity entering the distribution system The results are recorded on a Honeywell chart recorder with the readings downloaded to floppy disks Alarms are provided which will signal the auto dialer in the event of a lowhigh filter water level low raw water wetwell level lowhigh clearwell high turbidity and low chlorine residual

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution system consists of approximately 22 miles of 1through 10 PVC galvanized steel ductile iron cast iron and copper mains 58 fire hydrants 3 booster pumping stations and 5 gravity storage tanks Working pressure in the distribution system varies from a low of 25 psi to a high of 125 psi The average system pressure was reported to be 95 psi Twelve customers have signed low pressure agreements and three of these customers have installed individual booster pumps All customers with pressure greater than 100 psi have been advised to install pressure regulators Pressure regulators are being installed by the utility for new customers if the pressure is greater than 130 psi It was reported there are accurate maps for most sections of the distribution system showing the size and location of mains valves hydrants and services A distribution upgrade which consists of replacing approximately 13000 LF of mains in the downtown area is approximately 45 complete

There are 58 fire hydrants in the distribution system Twelve of the hydrants are on 4 mains but this deficiency will be corrected with the scheduled improvements to the distribution system All hydrants have been flow and pressure tested and records are maintained at the water treatment plant Currently the hydrants are flushed only as needed

There is no set schedule for inspection and operation of the valves Several of the valves were reported to be non-operable These valves will be replaced with the scheduled distribution system improvements Records of the valves are also maintained at the water plant

Most repair work in the distribution system is performed by the Town All new water lines are disinfected flushed and sampled prior to being placed in service Pipe and repair materials of various sizes are stored at the Myers Street storage tank It was advised that the mains are thoroughly flushed when repairs are made to existing water lines

-5-

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

Constructed in 1976 the Fairview Drive booster pumping station serves approximately 215 customers Housed in a concrete block building the pump station consists of dual Crane Deming closed coupled centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt US Electric motors The pumps are manually alternated and are controlled by the water level in the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank This pump station is not metered

Constructed in 2002 the Route 13 booster pumping station is presently serving 35 customers along US Route 522 South The prepackaged below-ground pumping station consists of dual Grundfos vertical mounted centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt 3-phase Baldor motors The pumps alternate automatically and are controlled by the water level in the 67000 gallon Route 522 storage tank Flow through this station is metered by a 3 Neptune turbine meter

The access doors for the pumping stations are maintained and locked An operator visits each pump station daily to check the controls and perform routine maintenance The pumps at the Fairview Drive and Route 13 booster station can be controlled from the treatment plant

STORAGE

Distribution storage is provided by five (5) gravity storage tanks having a combined capacity of 11 million gallons Storage is provided for about 15 days of normal usage Currently there are four pressure zones in the distribution system For the primary service area pressure is controlled by the Myers Street storage tank which has an overflow elevation of 894 ft Customers on Fairview Drive are served by a 200000 gallon elevated tank which has an overflow elevation of 100275 ft and customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank with an overflow elevation of 10845 ft The Golden Acres booster pumping station provides pressure for customers on Golden Lane but this station will soon be removed from service Operators visit the storage tanks at least twice a month to check for vandalism level controls and perform routine maintenance

All storage tanks can be isolated from the distribution system for maintenance and inspection The water level in all storage tanks is transmitted to the water treatment plant and displayed on the US Filter D26 controller which activates an audible alarm in the event of low tank level or tank overflow Plans call for connecting the alarms to the auto dialer system Digital level indicators located in the valve vaults allow the operators to monitor the water level at the tank sites

Constructed in 1978 the 500000 gallon Myers Street storage tank is located at the end of Myers Road (County Rte5222) and has an overflow elevation of 898 ft Access to the tank is restricted by a chain linked fence with a locked gate The ladder which provides access to the roof terminates 12 ft above the ground surface Both the overflow and vent are screened The water level in the tank is transmitted to the treatment plant to control the high service pumps (ON 50 ft OFF 599 ft) Inspection showed minor signs of corrosion and areas where the tank had been spot repainted Overall the tank was found to be in satisfactory condition

Constructed in 1964 the 175000 gallon Hospital storage tank was repainted in 2003 Overflow elevation of the tank is 882 ft with the water level controlled by an altitude valve Both the vent and overflow are properly screened and the overflow has been extended to ground level and discharges onto a splash pad There is no security fencing and the roof access ladder guard and roof access manhole are not secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition

Constructed in 1999 the 144000 gallon Ridge tank is located west of Town off Sir Johns Road Overflow elevation of the tank is 898 ft and the water level is controlled by a solenoid operated control valve (open 25 ft - closed 319 fk) The valve is being remotely controlled from the Water Treatment Plant to improve tank turnover There is no fencing at the tank site and the ladder guard and roof access manhole are not locked Both the vent and overflow are screened and the overflow extends to near ground level discharging onto a splash pad It was reported that the tank has poor water turnover

-7-

Constructed in 1997 the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank is located off Warm Springs Drive near the Middle School Overflow elevation of the tank is 100275 ft The water level is controlled by telemetry to the Fairview Drive booster pumping station The overflow pipe and vent are properly screened A chain linked fence with a locked gate restricts access to the tank Both the roof access manhole cover and roof access ladder guard were secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in good condition

Customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank constructed in 2002 Overflow elevation of the tank is 10845 A and the water level is controlled by telemetry to the Route 522 booster pumping station There is no fencing to restrict access to the tank Both the vent and overflow pipe are screened and the overflow extends to ground level discharging into a rip rap drainage ditch Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition Due to low turnover it is necessary to periodically overflow the tank to keep the water fresh and maintain measurable chlorine residual

SOURCE

Three springs located in the Berkeley Springs State Park provide source water for the water system Overflows from the Lord Fairfax Ladies and Lord Fairfax Gentlemens spring discharge into a spillway from where the flow is diverted into a 20000-gallon raw water wet well A 12 x 12 stainless steel screen with io mesh protects against leaves and other large objects entering the wet well The Covered Basin Spring which supplies water to the State Parks north bathhouse can be used by the water system in an emergency The flow from each source can be isolated from the wetwell by gate valves

Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant through 180 LF of 8 pipe by dual Fairbanks Morse submersible pumps rated 700 gpm 65 ft TDH The pumps are alternated manually and are controlled by the water level in the clearwell with a low wet well and high filter water level shutofE The raw water flow is metered and the rate of flow is displayed on the plants control panel Access into the wet well is restricted by a locked access cover An operator visits the intake and wet well daily to perform routine maintenance and manually clean the intake screen Due to problems in the fall from leaves and moss plugging the primary intake screen a secondary screen has been temporarily installed to provide additional protection During an emergency the old 500 gallon wetwell can be placed in service Approximately 250 GPM can be pumped from this wetwell into the treatment plant using a Goulds submersible pump A spare FloServe submersible pump is stored at the plant This 20 Hp pump has a rated capacity of 400 GPM at 83 ft TDH

A Wellhead Protection Plan and Source Water Susceptibility Report have been completed for the springs which feed the spillway The spillway channel is a surface water source and has a high susceptibility to contamination A review of operational records show the raw water turbidity to be consistently below 1 O NTU pH 68 SU to 71 SU and the temperature to range from 66 F to 72 O F A review of regulatory monitoring records showed nitrates nitrites primary inorganic VOCs and SOCs to be non-detectable or present at levels well below the Maximum Contaminate Levels (MCLs)

The three springs have a reported flow of 1020 gpm Five hundred (500) gpm of this flow has been allocated to the Towns water supply through the year 2027 With the installation of the surface water intake at the lower end of the spillway channel the Town can normally supply the demand without having to draw water directly from the spring collection boxes While the distribution upgrade should improve the water accountability the Town has begun exploring additional sources of water

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

-4-

A requirement of the Surface Water Treatment Rule is that the combination of filtration and disinfection achieve a 3-log removalinactivation of Giardia cysts At the time of the survey the system was achieving a 646 log reduction (see attached CT work sheet)

Testing for the Disinfection By-products has shown the levels to be consistently below the established MCLs Under the Stage 2 Disinfection By-products Rule the Town will likely qualify for a 4030 waiver from having to monitor from additional sites during the one year Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Further instruction and guidance will be provided at a later date

From the clearwell the finished water is metered and pumped into the distribution system by dual Tait 8-stage vertical turbine pumps rated 500 GPM at 326 ft TDH The pumps are controlled by the water level in the Myers Street storage tank and have the low clear well shutoff set at 35 ft Dual HACH CL17 chlorine residual analyzers continuously measure the chlorine residual and a HACH 1720D online turbidimeter measures the turbidity entering the distribution system The results are recorded on a Honeywell chart recorder with the readings downloaded to floppy disks Alarms are provided which will signal the auto dialer in the event of a lowhigh filter water level low raw water wetwell level lowhigh clearwell high turbidity and low chlorine residual

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution system consists of approximately 22 miles of 1through 10 PVC galvanized steel ductile iron cast iron and copper mains 58 fire hydrants 3 booster pumping stations and 5 gravity storage tanks Working pressure in the distribution system varies from a low of 25 psi to a high of 125 psi The average system pressure was reported to be 95 psi Twelve customers have signed low pressure agreements and three of these customers have installed individual booster pumps All customers with pressure greater than 100 psi have been advised to install pressure regulators Pressure regulators are being installed by the utility for new customers if the pressure is greater than 130 psi It was reported there are accurate maps for most sections of the distribution system showing the size and location of mains valves hydrants and services A distribution upgrade which consists of replacing approximately 13000 LF of mains in the downtown area is approximately 45 complete

There are 58 fire hydrants in the distribution system Twelve of the hydrants are on 4 mains but this deficiency will be corrected with the scheduled improvements to the distribution system All hydrants have been flow and pressure tested and records are maintained at the water treatment plant Currently the hydrants are flushed only as needed

There is no set schedule for inspection and operation of the valves Several of the valves were reported to be non-operable These valves will be replaced with the scheduled distribution system improvements Records of the valves are also maintained at the water plant

Most repair work in the distribution system is performed by the Town All new water lines are disinfected flushed and sampled prior to being placed in service Pipe and repair materials of various sizes are stored at the Myers Street storage tank It was advised that the mains are thoroughly flushed when repairs are made to existing water lines

-5-

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

Constructed in 1976 the Fairview Drive booster pumping station serves approximately 215 customers Housed in a concrete block building the pump station consists of dual Crane Deming closed coupled centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt US Electric motors The pumps are manually alternated and are controlled by the water level in the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank This pump station is not metered

Constructed in 2002 the Route 13 booster pumping station is presently serving 35 customers along US Route 522 South The prepackaged below-ground pumping station consists of dual Grundfos vertical mounted centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt 3-phase Baldor motors The pumps alternate automatically and are controlled by the water level in the 67000 gallon Route 522 storage tank Flow through this station is metered by a 3 Neptune turbine meter

The access doors for the pumping stations are maintained and locked An operator visits each pump station daily to check the controls and perform routine maintenance The pumps at the Fairview Drive and Route 13 booster station can be controlled from the treatment plant

STORAGE

Distribution storage is provided by five (5) gravity storage tanks having a combined capacity of 11 million gallons Storage is provided for about 15 days of normal usage Currently there are four pressure zones in the distribution system For the primary service area pressure is controlled by the Myers Street storage tank which has an overflow elevation of 894 ft Customers on Fairview Drive are served by a 200000 gallon elevated tank which has an overflow elevation of 100275 ft and customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank with an overflow elevation of 10845 ft The Golden Acres booster pumping station provides pressure for customers on Golden Lane but this station will soon be removed from service Operators visit the storage tanks at least twice a month to check for vandalism level controls and perform routine maintenance

All storage tanks can be isolated from the distribution system for maintenance and inspection The water level in all storage tanks is transmitted to the water treatment plant and displayed on the US Filter D26 controller which activates an audible alarm in the event of low tank level or tank overflow Plans call for connecting the alarms to the auto dialer system Digital level indicators located in the valve vaults allow the operators to monitor the water level at the tank sites

Constructed in 1978 the 500000 gallon Myers Street storage tank is located at the end of Myers Road (County Rte5222) and has an overflow elevation of 898 ft Access to the tank is restricted by a chain linked fence with a locked gate The ladder which provides access to the roof terminates 12 ft above the ground surface Both the overflow and vent are screened The water level in the tank is transmitted to the treatment plant to control the high service pumps (ON 50 ft OFF 599 ft) Inspection showed minor signs of corrosion and areas where the tank had been spot repainted Overall the tank was found to be in satisfactory condition

Constructed in 1964 the 175000 gallon Hospital storage tank was repainted in 2003 Overflow elevation of the tank is 882 ft with the water level controlled by an altitude valve Both the vent and overflow are properly screened and the overflow has been extended to ground level and discharges onto a splash pad There is no security fencing and the roof access ladder guard and roof access manhole are not secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition

Constructed in 1999 the 144000 gallon Ridge tank is located west of Town off Sir Johns Road Overflow elevation of the tank is 898 ft and the water level is controlled by a solenoid operated control valve (open 25 ft - closed 319 fk) The valve is being remotely controlled from the Water Treatment Plant to improve tank turnover There is no fencing at the tank site and the ladder guard and roof access manhole are not locked Both the vent and overflow are screened and the overflow extends to near ground level discharging onto a splash pad It was reported that the tank has poor water turnover

-7-

Constructed in 1997 the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank is located off Warm Springs Drive near the Middle School Overflow elevation of the tank is 100275 ft The water level is controlled by telemetry to the Fairview Drive booster pumping station The overflow pipe and vent are properly screened A chain linked fence with a locked gate restricts access to the tank Both the roof access manhole cover and roof access ladder guard were secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in good condition

Customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank constructed in 2002 Overflow elevation of the tank is 10845 A and the water level is controlled by telemetry to the Route 522 booster pumping station There is no fencing to restrict access to the tank Both the vent and overflow pipe are screened and the overflow extends to ground level discharging into a rip rap drainage ditch Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition Due to low turnover it is necessary to periodically overflow the tank to keep the water fresh and maintain measurable chlorine residual

TREATMENT

The treatment process consists of disinfection coagulation and filtration (see figure 1 attached) Raw water is pumped to the treatment plant where Del PAC and chlorine are fed ahead of an inline static mixer A HACH 1720D online turbidimeter provides a continuous readout of the raw water turbidity The measured raw water turbidity was 14 NTU pH 75 SU temperature 68 F and flow 590 GPM Del PAC was being fed at a rate of 1 ppm by an LMI metering pump Spare metering pumps are available to assure continuous coagulant feed Chlorine was being fed at a rate of 17 day or 24 ppm

The coagulated water then flows to two Leopold dual media filters Each filter has a surface area of 100 ft2 and was operating at a rate of 3gpmft2 Specifications for the filter beds call for 18 anthracite sand over 12 silica sand Inspection by probing showed the filters still contain the full 30 media Samples of the filter media were collected and examined under a microscope and the media appeared in good condition HACH 1720D online turbidimeters are connected to the effluent line of each filter and the readings are downloaded to a Honeywell MiniTrend recorder and transferred to a floppy disk for storage All filter controls and instrumentation were reported to be operating properly

Backwashing of the filters is normally initiated manually every 40 hours of operation Backwash water is pumped from the plants clearwell by dual Fairbanks Morse split case centrifbgal pumps with an operating range between 500 to 1500 GPM Filter 2 was backwashed during the survey Prior to backwashing the effluent turbidity was 0032 NTU Filter 1 was removed from service while filter 2 was backwashed Normal practice is to divert the flow and allow the other filter to remain in service

The backwash cycle is controlled automatically and consists of draining the filter below the backwash trough 2 minute air scour 1 minute air scour plus backwashing at a rate of 700-800 GPM followed by a 3 minute backwash at 1200 GPM The filter was then rinsed to waste for 15 minutes Backwash water is discharged to the backwash decant tank where solids are settled and the supernatant is de-chlorinated and discharged to Warm Springs Run Distribution of the air and backwash water appeared to be uniform with no mudballs or cracking of the media evident There was no noticeable increase in either filter effluent turbidity or the clearwell effluent turbidity after placing the filters back in service (see figure 2)

Following filtration the water enters a 170000 baffled clearwell The clearwell was cleaned and inspected in May 2003 Inspection of the clearwell from the high service pump room showed no sediment buildup The water level in the clearwell can be monitored from the control room

Disinfection facilities consist of dual 25 Ibday Regal cylinder mounted chlorinators automatic switchover and a two cylinder digital scale All chlorination equipment and cylinders are housed in an isolated chlorine room which has adequate heat light and ventilation All chlorine cylinders were properly restrained Two self-contained breathing apparatuses a bottle of ammonia used to locate chlorine leaks and a cylinder repair kit are stored inside the plant A Regal automatic chlorine gas detector has been installed and tied into the auto-dialer All operators have received training for the proper response to chlorine leaks

-4-

A requirement of the Surface Water Treatment Rule is that the combination of filtration and disinfection achieve a 3-log removalinactivation of Giardia cysts At the time of the survey the system was achieving a 646 log reduction (see attached CT work sheet)

Testing for the Disinfection By-products has shown the levels to be consistently below the established MCLs Under the Stage 2 Disinfection By-products Rule the Town will likely qualify for a 4030 waiver from having to monitor from additional sites during the one year Initial Distribution System Evaluation (IDSE) Further instruction and guidance will be provided at a later date

From the clearwell the finished water is metered and pumped into the distribution system by dual Tait 8-stage vertical turbine pumps rated 500 GPM at 326 ft TDH The pumps are controlled by the water level in the Myers Street storage tank and have the low clear well shutoff set at 35 ft Dual HACH CL17 chlorine residual analyzers continuously measure the chlorine residual and a HACH 1720D online turbidimeter measures the turbidity entering the distribution system The results are recorded on a Honeywell chart recorder with the readings downloaded to floppy disks Alarms are provided which will signal the auto dialer in the event of a lowhigh filter water level low raw water wetwell level lowhigh clearwell high turbidity and low chlorine residual

DISTRIBUTION

The distribution system consists of approximately 22 miles of 1through 10 PVC galvanized steel ductile iron cast iron and copper mains 58 fire hydrants 3 booster pumping stations and 5 gravity storage tanks Working pressure in the distribution system varies from a low of 25 psi to a high of 125 psi The average system pressure was reported to be 95 psi Twelve customers have signed low pressure agreements and three of these customers have installed individual booster pumps All customers with pressure greater than 100 psi have been advised to install pressure regulators Pressure regulators are being installed by the utility for new customers if the pressure is greater than 130 psi It was reported there are accurate maps for most sections of the distribution system showing the size and location of mains valves hydrants and services A distribution upgrade which consists of replacing approximately 13000 LF of mains in the downtown area is approximately 45 complete

There are 58 fire hydrants in the distribution system Twelve of the hydrants are on 4 mains but this deficiency will be corrected with the scheduled improvements to the distribution system All hydrants have been flow and pressure tested and records are maintained at the water treatment plant Currently the hydrants are flushed only as needed

There is no set schedule for inspection and operation of the valves Several of the valves were reported to be non-operable These valves will be replaced with the scheduled distribution system improvements Records of the valves are also maintained at the water plant

Most repair work in the distribution system is performed by the Town All new water lines are disinfected flushed and sampled prior to being placed in service Pipe and repair materials of various sizes are stored at the Myers Street storage tank It was advised that the mains are thoroughly flushed when repairs are made to existing water lines

-5-

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

Constructed in 1976 the Fairview Drive booster pumping station serves approximately 215 customers Housed in a concrete block building the pump station consists of dual Crane Deming closed coupled centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt US Electric motors The pumps are manually alternated and are controlled by the water level in the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank This pump station is not metered

Constructed in 2002 the Route 13 booster pumping station is presently serving 35 customers along US Route 522 South The prepackaged below-ground pumping station consists of dual Grundfos vertical mounted centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt 3-phase Baldor motors The pumps alternate automatically and are controlled by the water level in the 67000 gallon Route 522 storage tank Flow through this station is metered by a 3 Neptune turbine meter

The access doors for the pumping stations are maintained and locked An operator visits each pump station daily to check the controls and perform routine maintenance The pumps at the Fairview Drive and Route 13 booster station can be controlled from the treatment plant

-6-

STORAGE

Distribution storage is provided by five (5) gravity storage tanks having a combined capacity of 11 million gallons Storage is provided for about 15 days of normal usage Currently there are four pressure zones in the distribution system For the primary service area pressure is controlled by the Myers Street storage tank which has an overflow elevation of 894 ft Customers on Fairview Drive are served by a 200000 gallon elevated tank which has an overflow elevation of 100275 ft and customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank with an overflow elevation of 10845 ft The Golden Acres booster pumping station provides pressure for customers on Golden Lane but this station will soon be removed from service Operators visit the storage tanks at least twice a month to check for vandalism level controls and perform routine maintenance

All storage tanks can be isolated from the distribution system for maintenance and inspection The water level in all storage tanks is transmitted to the water treatment plant and displayed on the US Filter D26 controller which activates an audible alarm in the event of low tank level or tank overflow Plans call for connecting the alarms to the auto dialer system Digital level indicators located in the valve vaults allow the operators to monitor the water level at the tank sites

Constructed in 1978 the 500000 gallon Myers Street storage tank is located at the end of Myers Road (County Rte5222) and has an overflow elevation of 898 ft Access to the tank is restricted by a chain linked fence with a locked gate The ladder which provides access to the roof terminates 12 ft above the ground surface Both the overflow and vent are screened The water level in the tank is transmitted to the treatment plant to control the high service pumps (ON 50 ft OFF 599 ft) Inspection showed minor signs of corrosion and areas where the tank had been spot repainted Overall the tank was found to be in satisfactory condition

Constructed in 1964 the 175000 gallon Hospital storage tank was repainted in 2003 Overflow elevation of the tank is 882 ft with the water level controlled by an altitude valve Both the vent and overflow are properly screened and the overflow has been extended to ground level and discharges onto a splash pad There is no security fencing and the roof access ladder guard and roof access manhole are not secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition

Constructed in 1999 the 144000 gallon Ridge tank is located west of Town off Sir Johns Road Overflow elevation of the tank is 898 ft and the water level is controlled by a solenoid operated control valve (open 25 ft - closed 319 fk) The valve is being remotely controlled from the Water Treatment Plant to improve tank turnover There is no fencing at the tank site and the ladder guard and roof access manhole are not locked Both the vent and overflow are screened and the overflow extends to near ground level discharging onto a splash pad It was reported that the tank has poor water turnover

-7-

Constructed in 1997 the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank is located off Warm Springs Drive near the Middle School Overflow elevation of the tank is 100275 ft The water level is controlled by telemetry to the Fairview Drive booster pumping station The overflow pipe and vent are properly screened A chain linked fence with a locked gate restricts access to the tank Both the roof access manhole cover and roof access ladder guard were secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in good condition

Customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank constructed in 2002 Overflow elevation of the tank is 10845 A and the water level is controlled by telemetry to the Route 522 booster pumping station There is no fencing to restrict access to the tank Both the vent and overflow pipe are screened and the overflow extends to ground level discharging into a rip rap drainage ditch Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition Due to low turnover it is necessary to periodically overflow the tank to keep the water fresh and maintain measurable chlorine residual

All customers are metered and the Town is in the process of installing new radio read meters for all residential customers The 2006 annual report showed a water accountability of 36 It is anticipated that the current water main replacement project and installation of new meters will help increase the water accountability

Chlorine residuals are being maintained throughout the distribution system A check at the Rt 13 booster station showed the total chlorine residual to be 11 mgL Results of daily testing for the distribution system total chlorine residual and sample locations are being recorded on the Monthly Operational Report Form (EW-90)

A log book on customer complaints is kept at City Hall It was advised complaints normally concern meter readings leaks and isolated complaints of pressure All complaints are forwarded to the Chief Operator or Distribution Foreman for investigation

Berkeley Springs does not have an active Cross Connection Control Program CSR64- 15-8-2 requires all public water systems to establish a Cross Connection and Backflow Prevention Program approved by the Commissioner

There are three booster pumping stations in the distribution system The Golden Acres pumping station was constructed in the 1950s to serve 35 customers on Golden Lane This station is scheduled to be removed from service as part of the distribution system upgrade with these customers being served off the Fairview Drive elevated tank

Constructed in 1976 the Fairview Drive booster pumping station serves approximately 215 customers Housed in a concrete block building the pump station consists of dual Crane Deming closed coupled centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt US Electric motors The pumps are manually alternated and are controlled by the water level in the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank This pump station is not metered

Constructed in 2002 the Route 13 booster pumping station is presently serving 35 customers along US Route 522 South The prepackaged below-ground pumping station consists of dual Grundfos vertical mounted centrifugal pumps driven by 10 Hp 208230 volt 3-phase Baldor motors The pumps alternate automatically and are controlled by the water level in the 67000 gallon Route 522 storage tank Flow through this station is metered by a 3 Neptune turbine meter

The access doors for the pumping stations are maintained and locked An operator visits each pump station daily to check the controls and perform routine maintenance The pumps at the Fairview Drive and Route 13 booster station can be controlled from the treatment plant

STORAGE

Distribution storage is provided by five (5) gravity storage tanks having a combined capacity of 11 million gallons Storage is provided for about 15 days of normal usage Currently there are four pressure zones in the distribution system For the primary service area pressure is controlled by the Myers Street storage tank which has an overflow elevation of 894 ft Customers on Fairview Drive are served by a 200000 gallon elevated tank which has an overflow elevation of 100275 ft and customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank with an overflow elevation of 10845 ft The Golden Acres booster pumping station provides pressure for customers on Golden Lane but this station will soon be removed from service Operators visit the storage tanks at least twice a month to check for vandalism level controls and perform routine maintenance

All storage tanks can be isolated from the distribution system for maintenance and inspection The water level in all storage tanks is transmitted to the water treatment plant and displayed on the US Filter D26 controller which activates an audible alarm in the event of low tank level or tank overflow Plans call for connecting the alarms to the auto dialer system Digital level indicators located in the valve vaults allow the operators to monitor the water level at the tank sites

Constructed in 1978 the 500000 gallon Myers Street storage tank is located at the end of Myers Road (County Rte5222) and has an overflow elevation of 898 ft Access to the tank is restricted by a chain linked fence with a locked gate The ladder which provides access to the roof terminates 12 ft above the ground surface Both the overflow and vent are screened The water level in the tank is transmitted to the treatment plant to control the high service pumps (ON 50 ft OFF 599 ft) Inspection showed minor signs of corrosion and areas where the tank had been spot repainted Overall the tank was found to be in satisfactory condition

Constructed in 1964 the 175000 gallon Hospital storage tank was repainted in 2003 Overflow elevation of the tank is 882 ft with the water level controlled by an altitude valve Both the vent and overflow are properly screened and the overflow has been extended to ground level and discharges onto a splash pad There is no security fencing and the roof access ladder guard and roof access manhole are not secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition

Constructed in 1999 the 144000 gallon Ridge tank is located west of Town off Sir Johns Road Overflow elevation of the tank is 898 ft and the water level is controlled by a solenoid operated control valve (open 25 ft - closed 319 fk) The valve is being remotely controlled from the Water Treatment Plant to improve tank turnover There is no fencing at the tank site and the ladder guard and roof access manhole are not locked Both the vent and overflow are screened and the overflow extends to near ground level discharging onto a splash pad It was reported that the tank has poor water turnover

-7-

Constructed in 1997 the 200000 gallon Fairview Drive elevated storage tank is located off Warm Springs Drive near the Middle School Overflow elevation of the tank is 100275 ft The water level is controlled by telemetry to the Fairview Drive booster pumping station The overflow pipe and vent are properly screened A chain linked fence with a locked gate restricts access to the tank Both the roof access manhole cover and roof access ladder guard were secured with a padlock Inspection showed the tank to be in good condition

Customers on 522 South are served by a 67000 gallon tank constructed in 2002 Overflow elevation of the tank is 10845 A and the water level is controlled by telemetry to the Route 522 booster pumping station There is no fencing to restrict access to the tank Both the vent and overflow pipe are screened and the overflow extends to ground level discharging into a rip rap drainage ditch Inspection showed the tank to be in excellent condition Due to low turnover it is necessary to periodically overflow the tank to keep the water fresh and maintain measurable chlorine residual
