Re: Symsonia WD Case No. 2012-00517

Dear Mr. Derouen,

Piease find attached Symsonia Water District’s responses to the PSC data request of March 7 , 2013.

Jim Waid, Manager Symsonia ‘Water District

The District had considered rehabilitation and upgrade to the existing plant as the main alternative to this project. There are several negative aspects to this option. First of all there isn’t a lot of property around the current loczlion to do the upgrade, and additional wells would need to be drilled in order l o expand the capacity of the system. Again the lack of real estate at this property causes problems with the cones of depression intersecting if additional wells were to be drilled there. In addition, the existing tank is not only under-sized, but requires extensive maintenance that the District has not been able io do, due to the lack of a long term water storage alternative. The major setback with this as a viable option is that with it being the only water source and storage for the Ristrict, there is no way to take if off line long enough to complete the construction for the upgrades required.

The District does have an emergency connection to Benton Water; however, this is for short-term emergency use only and is not capable of serving the entire Symsonia Water District for the number of months the upgrade would take.

The second alternative that the District considered was to drill the new wells at the location in this project and construct a trunk line to the existing plant for treatment and storage. The cost and route for such a trunk line vvoulcl have been difficult; however, the main downfall to this option is fairly obvious. The main issues of storage capacity and treatment capacity wouid remain, and as stated earlier, neither issue can be resolved in an economical manner at the existing site.

Witness: .Jim Waid

The proposed project was selected for a number of positive reasons. First of all a second water source and storage location for the district provides the redundancy that is required by the DOW for most systems. With a new polishing plant, wells, and storage the District can meet all the requirements for capacity at this location and can serve their existing cctstomer base from this site alone. The District can remain functioning with the existing facility during construction of the new facility. Once construction is complete and running the District may take the old facility off-line to do the needed maintenance on it. The new facility is designed to serve the entire system while the existing facility is off-line, as well as, function as two different pressure zones once the existing facility is broLight back on-line. The location for the proposed project was selected because of geographic lay out of the town. On the side of town where the new facility will be built, there are a number of propose subdivisions and property that is ready for development. With the new facility at this loca.tion, the District will be ready to serve these areas as they develop.

Witness: Jim Waid

e ne nt

The two previous answers have addressed this issue fairly thoroughly. However in addition, the old plant is approaching 50 years of age and again has reached its expected service life. Without the major upgrades required it is not affective to serve the District service area or the two additional subdivisions that have been developed. New plant will have the capacity for the existing service area, as well as, any expected additional developments for the area. The new plant will also include some upgrades such as soft start boosters to provide for better service for future generations of consumers.

4. ew weBIs and No

No?: only does the District need additional capacity that the new wells will provide, the old wells have had issues with sand screens deteriorating due to age. They need to be retired to back up use only, or redrilled and entirely new casings, screens, and filters installed. The size of the new clear well / ground storage tank has been designed for the expected 20 year growth and average daily storage capacity required for such demand. This tank is designed to function at several different levels of capacity. This was done so that the District can maintain the required turnover rate and the required storage for the existing demand as well as the 20-year projected demand as required by the DOW.

The City of Benton contract is for emergency water only and only if their system can oblige. The connection isn’t intended for servicing the entire Symsonia Water District service area, nor is it capable of doing so for any length of time. It is a useful connection for a short-term need due to a failure in the Symsonia District’s system; however if there were a major drought situation, that would likely affect the source water for both Syrnsania and Benton system. In this case, Benton’s counsel stated their customers would obviously be served first. ’Therefore while this connection is a convenient emergency back-up, it does not replace the Districts need for storage and additional source water.

The following is an estimate of the changes in O&M cost that the District is likely io experience in the leading cost categories.

EXISTING AVG

The table above depicts a current: cost, a cost at 2/3 the capacity, and a cos!. at full capacity. This has been shown due lo the fact that the system will rra2: initially need to run at full capacity on a regular basis. As per design standards, the new facility is sized for potential future growth as well as current demand.

The salary expenses are not expected to change due to this upgrade, other than the District’s normal cost-of-living or salary increases already in place, which are irrelevant to this project. Also, it is important to note that the same staff serves both the water and wastewater departments for the District; therefore, those costs are shared between the two departments. The general maintenance estimate assumes the majority of maintenance in the first year will be covered within the warrantee and manufacturer agreements. However, as those agreements expire, general maintenance costs should be similar to the existing costs.

The remaining cost items shown are the primary expenses for 08cM. Considering that water samples from the new wells tested similarly to the existing wells’ water quality, one can assume the chemicals used to treat the new facility should be proportionally equal, but with a slight vendor cost increase over time being a possibility. The next line item is gas used for heating the existing facility. The new facility will utilize packaged teririina3 AC and heating units that will not require gas, so this line item

has been omitted. However, it should be noted that while natural gas will not be used or even provided to the site, diesel gas will b e needed on an emergency basis only. l h i s has not been included in the line items because at this point there is no way to estimate this expense, nor would one expect this to be a primary cost item. There will be a back-up diesel- powered generator at the site for emergency power outage use.

'The electrical cost for the new facility is hardest to estimate. The basic ideology behind the estimates shown is first that with the new equipment there is approximately a 15-20% efficiency savings. For this application, there will still be an overall cost increase for several reasons. Increased electrical costs will occur because all temperature controls for the building will n w be on electricity; there will be more equipment items installed in the new facility; and as the capacity increases, so will well pump, chemical pump, and booster pump run times. So even though each piece of equipment is more efficient than the existing equipment, the capacity expansion will cause increased electrical use.

The .final line item is for testing and sampling. The new facility will not require any additional testing and sampling cost ,from what is currently being expensed unless the laboratory that process the samples has a price increase.
