Tupper Plains/Chester Water District

The District will be trying to get a loan & a grant for a new task. The project will cost approximately six mil dollars. The wish is to obtain a 50 percent grant and a 30-year mortgage at 0% around the balance. The task is located in Meigs Region, Chester Township which can be the most populous township we serve. The project will include 50, 000’ of recent 10” & 12” water mains, a brand new water tank inside the Five Points region and a new pump station that will change our existing train station on Flatwoods Street. This will be a diverse category of a project in this is not growth to new customers, it is just to make stronger the existing system while our water strategy is approaching fifty years of age. Some of the existing pipe in the areas will probably be abandoned in place, other folks will be left even now doing the job until an alternative is needed in the future. The project also includes a great interconnection with the Leading Creek Conservancy Section to provide a mutual advantage to both devices during emergencies which experts claim happen. Along the route that was chosen intended for the new pipeline, we are asking landowners intended for permission to install the water pipeline on their house. In some places, we will certainly install the new collection on our existing easement. Back-Up Electrical power Just to remind or perhaps brag to all of the customers, we have set in place back-up electrical power at all of our services. At no time should any person be out of water during all those types of local power outages. In 12 locations all of us use solar power because the power use is low and solar power was your best solution. Thermal Growth is doing Harm to the Customers Homes Heat expansion tanks assist to control pressure build-up in closed, warm water systems. The problem is becoming such an issue the District has changed the policy on fresh services that throughout the inspection the water will never be turned on until this product is installed. This kind of prevents the water heating unit pressure relief control device from opening, conserving energy and removing a potential safety risk. The tank aids in preventing dripping faucets and wasted energy; messes of water in the base of the water heater from pressure alleviation valve discharge; water heater damage from repeated water pressure build-up; dishwasher and washer solenoid damage; bathroom valve running periodically and noisy drinking water hammer. Every house in America is required to get this, but even brand new homes in our region are not getting them set up, talk to your builder and plumber..
