1 The Challenges of Developing a New Drinking Water Source New Drinking Water Treatment Building

2 Outline Our Facilities GAUD s Water Supply History Back to Wells 2003 Study Surface Water Treatment Facility (Backup) I-95 Vulnerability New Riverside Well Development Successes and Challenges

3 Drinking Water Statistics Serves 13,000 Customers in Greater Augusta Manchester, Chelsea Vassalboro, East Winthrop & Hallowell 130 Miles of Water Piping 6,000 Connections 8 Storage Tanks (12 Previously) 4 Booster Pumping Stations 5 Wells 8 Pressure Zones As of February, Slightly Used Surface Water Treatment Plant

4 Drinking Water Supply History Augusta Water Co. Kennedy Brook Augusta Water District Typohoid Epidemic Bond Brook-Triangle Wells 2.5 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) Third Well Brookside 1.4 MGD Metering Begins Kennebec River Mechanical Filters District Office Expanded Operations Carleton Pond & Cobbosseecontee Exceptional Growth Average Daily Usage: 4.0 MGD G.F. Laurin Water Treatment Facility (Carleton Pond) 5.0 MGD

5 Drinking Water Supply History Supply, Feasibility & Planning Study Ground Water Exploration Chelsea RFP for Ground Water Explorations Ground Water Exploration Continued Mutual Aid/ Regional Efforts Triangle Treatment Building & Reactivation of Bond Brook Wells Augusta Water District + Augusta Sanitary District = Greater Augusta Utility District Redundant Supply Discussions Begin Water Supply Plan Malta Tanks & Riverside Wells

6 Project Timeline October 7, 2011 July 2015 New Supply Online RFP for Ground Water Explorations March 30, 2011 June December 2012 Option Agreements Riverside Drive WM 7,000 ft of Initial Work Plan New Source City Politics Strategic Water Supply Plan Completed April 2012 Hydrogeological Investigations March 2013 Production Wells Gravel Pit Reclaimation Malta Tank

7

8 Political Barriers Why Riverside Drive? CSO Phase 3 Rates G.F. Laurin Surface Water Plant is Still on the table Unanswered Questions We need a plan

9 Action Plan for Additional Drinking Water Resources (2012) Goal: Reduce vulnerability of Bond Brook well supply District commissions desktop study Alternative supply options identified

10 Why Develop Additional Water Sources? Several large accidents (2011, 2013 & 2015) on I-95 caused concern about possible contamination

11 G.F. Laurin Water Treatment Facility Supply Challenges ( ) Declining Industrial Demand for Water Water Conservation Very High Operating Costs In 2004, GAUD reactivated Bond Brook Wells and put Water Treatment Facility in Standby Mode

12 Bond Brook Wells Overview (2004) Three Gravel-Packed Wells with Total Capacity of 2.8 MGD: - Triangle Well (1.0 MGD) - South Well (0.8 MGD) - Brookside Well (1.0 MGD) Treatment Chlorination, Phosphate, Fluoridation Water Quality Good, High Hardness (<100 mg/l) Location Near Downtown Augusta/I-95

13 Well Locations

14 Options Considered Reactivate the Water Treatment Facility Interconnection with Neighboring Systems - Winthrop Utilities District - Hallowell Water District - Gardiner Water District - Kennebec Water District Create New Groundwater Supplies within District

15 Locations of Various Options Considered

16 Options for New Groundwater Supply Development within District Objectives - Reduce vulnerability of Bond Brook - Supply on East Side of Kennebec MGD Capacity Possibilities: - Mount Vernon Road Area - Leighton Road Area - Kennebec Esker - Riverbank Filtration at Carleton Pond

17 Locations of Wells & Tanks in Augusta North Augusta Aquifer (Mt. Vernon Road Area) Kennebec River Esker

18 Option 1 Expand Development in Mount Vernon Road Area Mt. Vernon Road Area Projected Costs: - Capital Cost: $4.3 Million - Operating Costs: $432/Million Gallons Disadvantages: - West Side of River - Rural Area - Limited Opportunity for New Customers - Vulnerability to I-95 Remains - Large Water Main Extension

19 Option 2 Expand Development in Leighton Road Area Projected Cost: - $226/Million Gallons Disadvantages: - West Side of River - Rural Area - Limited Opportunity for New Customers - Vulnerability to I-95 Remains - Large Water Main Extension Leighton Road Area

20 Option 3 New Supply in Riverside Area of Augusta Sand and Gravel Deposits Projected Costs: - Capital Cost: $2.6M - Operating Costs: $191/Million Gallons Advantages: - Supply on East Side of Kennebec River - Extension of system towards Kennebec Water District - Distribution System Simplification - Elimination of Riverside Zone - Elimination of 2 Riverside Tanks - Consolidation of Malta and Riverside Zones - Consolidated Zone 4 Tanks to 1 Tank Priority Sites in Riverside Area of Augusta

23 Supply Alternatives Cost Comparison Riverside Well Sites Best Value

24 Riverside Groundwater Exploration Process Desktop Mapping of Threats Geophysical Surveys Test Well Exploration Initial Site Approval from DWP Prolonged Pumping Test Final Source Approval Well Construction Commissioning

25 New Riverside Wells Statistics Two Wells - Mainex Well: 1.0 MGD - Bonenfant Well: 1.0 MGD Gravel-Packed Wells - 18 x 24 Wells - Hardness > 150 mg/l foot setback from river - Low Metals (Iron, Manganese, Arsenic) Well Head
