5 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 1 - General Information City of Sparta, Wisconsin October 2017 CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 SCOPE OF LIFT STATION EVALUATION The City of Sparta has experienced significant residential development in the southwest corner of the City. The wastewater collection system in this area is served by the Julie Avenue and Hoeschler Drive Lift Stations. The growth of the areas served by the lift stations has begun to test the capacities of the stations. The stations are struggling to keep up with the increased wastewater flows. The City has hired MSA Professional Services, Inc. to evaluate the Julie Avenue and Hoeschler Drive Stations regarding their capacities with current flows experienced. MSA will provide recommendations to correct any capacity deficiencies found and other improvements to the system to increase reliability.

7 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October 2017 CHAPTER 2 LIFT STATIONS 2.1 JULIE AVENUE LIFT STATION The Julie Avenue Lift Station is located on Julie Avenue approximately mid-block between Sugarberry Boulevard and Terry Court. The station is a duplex submersible lift station constructed of a precast reinforced concrete structure. The station currently has 240 volt, single-phase electrical service at the panel JULIE AVENUE EXISTING CONDITIONS Julie Avenue Lift Station The station has two surface hatches. One side enters the wet-well portion of the structure where the wastewater enters the station and is stored until pumped. The pumps are also located in the wet-well. The wet-well is a 6-foot diameter structure that is approximately 31-feet deep. The wet-well did not show any signs of infiltration and appeared to be in good shape. However, there was some debris build-up on the upper ledge. The opposite hatch enters into the valve vault, which houses check valves and isolation valves. The valve vault sits on top of a portion of the wet-well structure. There is also piping within the valve vault to allow for bypass pumping of the station. The valve vault was in good condition, and did not show any signs of infiltration. The check valves had recently been replaced. The station also has a newer pad mounted 25KVA natural gas backup generator.

9 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October 2017 Once wastewater leaves the station it is pumped through a 4-inch force main east along Julie Avenue, then south on Terry Court to a sanitary manhole in the intersection of Terry Court and Linda Lane. From there the flow enters the gravity collection system, which ultimately discharges into the Hoeschler Drive Lift Station SERVICE AREA The Julie Avenue Station serves a large residential area in the City of Sparta located west of HWY 27 and South of HWY 16. The station also receives wastewater from a station located in the Riverwood Subdivision on the end of Hanson Place. The entire area served by the Julie Avenue Station is approximately 192 acres with a total of about 320 residential lots and 83 mobile homes. This equates to roughly 930 residents served by the station. The original lift station 20-year service area was 45 acres with a total of 327 residents PUMP SIZES / RUN TIMES The original design report for the station called for pump sizes of 80 gallons per minute (GPM) with a pump cycle time of approximately 20 minutes. In 2007, the pumps were upsized to 150 GPM. In 2014 the impellers of the pumps were upsized from 6.62-inches to 7.0-inches, which results in a flow rate of approximately 180 GPM. On August 29, 2017, MSA worked with City wastewater staff to perform some pump run times analysis. At the time of the tests, the pump cycles were closer to 1.5 minutes. Short cycles are hard on pumps, as they cause the pumps to turn on and turn off in very short periods of time. This can lead to a shortened life for the pump, or require maintenance on the pumps more regularly. It appears from the run-times collected in the field that the floats which control the on-off cycle of the pumps may be set approximately only 4-inches apart. The original design of the station had a separation of 3-feet. Setting the floats closer to the original set points will allow for longer cycle times, which should be easier on the pumps FLOW RATES During the pump run-time analysis performed by MSA and City staff, incoming flow rates were approximately 140 GPM. A typical residential household will contribute approximately 100 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) of wastewater. Based upon the service area contribution of 920 residents this station should experience an average flow of 92,000 gallons per day or approximately 64 GPM. Based on run times of the pumps provided by City staff, the station in July and August of this year averaged about 81,000 gallons per day or 56 GPM pumped. However, wastewater flows are not consistent and can fluctuate greatly throughout the day. A service area of this size can experience peak flows that are approximately four times the average flow. DNR standards require pumps sized for lift stations to be sized to accommodate the peak flows which the system will experience. The peak flows at the Julie Avenue Lift Station are expected to be more in the 240 GPM range. The future 20-year service area for this lift station is estimated to include another Project No Page 4 October 2017 MSA Professional Services, Inc. \\msa-ps.com\fs\projects\50s\51\ \reports\lift station evaluation mjm.docx

10 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October acres of land of roughly 150 residential lots; 350 people. The estimated service area population is 1,270 residents, and will require an estimated design flow rate of 360 GPM. This flow rate could be controlled by extending the future force mains to the interceptor sewer mains on Hoeschler Drive of STH 27, thus bypassing the Julie Avenue Lift Station. 2.2 HOESCHLER DRIVE LIFT STATION The Hoeschler Drive Lift Station is located at the southeast corner of Hoeschler Drive and Industrial Drive. The station is a duplex submersible lift station constructed of a precast reinforced concrete structure HOESCHLER DRIVE EXISTING CONDITIONS The Hoeschler Drive station consists of a 6-foot diameter precast concrete tank wet-well which houses two submersible pumps. There is a separate precast concrete structure, which houses check valves and isolation valves. The station has a pad mounted natural gas backup generator. The wet-well did not show any signs of infiltration. However, there was a significant build-up of grease. The grease was thick enough to support the weight on the end of the float chain as it was lowered into the wet-well.

12 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October 2017 Hoeschler Drive Valve Vault The valve vault appeared to be in good condition, and there were no signs of infiltration. Once wastewater leaves the station it is pumped a short distance to a manhole on the lift station site. The wastewater then enters the gravity collection system through an 8-inch pipe, which ultimately discharges into the City wastewater treatment facility.

13 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October 2017 Discharge Manhole SERVICE AREA The Hoeschler Drive Station serves a large residential area along with commercial and industrial development. The Station also receives wastewater flow from the Julie Avenue Station. In total this station serves an area of approximately 492 acres. Approximately 200 acres of this is industrial/commercial development with the remaining 292 acres being residential. The original design report for the station is not available so it is unknown what the original design service area was intended to be PUMP SIZES / RUN TIMES It is not known what the flow rates of the pumps from the original design of the station were intended to be. New submersible pumps were installed into the station in Information provided by the supplier indicates that the pumps were rated for 400 GPM. On August 29, 2017, MSA worked with City wastewater staff to perform some pump run times analysis. Based on the draw down tests at the station it is believed that the pumps are running closer to 340 GPM. At the time of the tests, the pump cycle times were between 2-3 minutes. Short cycles are hard on pumps as they cause the pumps to turn on and turn off in very short periods of time. This can lead to a shortened life for the pump or require maintenance on the pumps more regularly.

14 Lift Station Evaluation Chapter 2 - Lift Stations City of Sparta, Wisconsin October FLOW RATES During the pump run-time analysis performed by MSA and City staff, incoming flow rates were calculated to be an average of 195 GPM. A typical residential household will contribute approximately 100 gallons per capita per day (GPCD) of wastewater. It was also assumed that the industrial / commercial properties in the service area would average approximately 10 employees per acre, and the contribution would be 30 gallons per employee per day (GPED). The service area also has an industry, Century Foods, which would be considered a heavy water user. The average water use for the business was added to the flow calculations. Based upon the above assumptions an average daily flow of approximately 274,400 gallons or 190 GPM was calculated. The City staff provided flow rates based on run times of the pumps in July and August of this year, and the station averaged about 240,000 gallons per day pumped or 167 GPM. The existing flows are assumed to be lower than the estimated flows because the existing service area is not fully developed. For the purposes of estimating future peak flows, a current average flow of 274,400 gallons per day will be used. Wastewater flows are not consistent and can fluctuate greatly throughout the day. A service area of this size can experience peak flows that are approximately four times the average flow. DNR standards require pumps sized for lift stations be sized to accommodate the peak flows which the system will experience. The current estimated peak flows at the Hoeschler Drive lift station are in the 680 GPM range. The future 20-year service area for this lift station will include another 150 acres of residential development, increasing the lift station 20-year peak flow rate to approximately 950 GPM.
