The College purchases power from the utility company at <br /> 12KV. Because the College is a primary power customer, they are not allowed to <br /> have more than one service. The 460 V service to the existing well violates the <br /> power company's rules. The situation was allowed to persist because it pre- <br /> existed the College's switch to 12kV service. <br /> The power company requires the College to obtain power for any new services <br /> from its own 12 kV distribution system. If the existing 460 V service is to be <br /> reused, the College may have to pay a new installation fee to the power <br /> company in the amount of$14-16,000. <br /> The cost of electrical service will be nearly the same for either well site; the cost <br /> of electrical service at a new site is estimated to be $13,000 whereas fees to the <br /> power company may be$14-16,000. <br /> The only difference in cost between a well near the existing or the alternate 1 site <br /> is the cost of piping and connection to the existing irrigation main line. The cost <br /> for piping to install a well at alternate site 1 is estimated to be approximately <br /> $22,500. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> It is recommended that the new irrigation well be installed at the alternate 1 <br /> location and that electrical service be provided from the adjacent electrical <br /> manhole. Piping from the pumping plant should connect to the 6" irrigation main <br /> northwest of the site. Existing 4" pipelines should be upgraded to 6"where they <br /> cross into the ball fields. <br /> Constructing the well in this location will have the lowest possible risk of <br /> contamination from any existing or abandoned gas station, is close to essential <br /> services, and can be constructed at a reasonable cost. <br /> These recommendations are based on information derived from facility drawings <br /> furnished by the College. Prior to any design for a new well or appurtenant <br /> equipment, the location of underground facilities should be verified by a field <br /> topographic survey. <br /> 5 <br />
