1. Ladd Engineering
Memo
To: Jennifer Novack Ladd
From: John Engineer
Date: Jan 17, 2011
Subject: Results for improving the Montana Branch
Ladd Engineering should choose alternative 2.
Alternatives
1.Drill and equip additional sources of supply with sufficient capacity to provide for the present
and projected system defeciencies.
2.Compensate for deficiencies using a combination of additional sources of supply and a storage
facility.
Recommendation
We have determined alternative 2 to be the best option because, based on a study
done by the consulting company Smith and Jones, the groundwater in this general
area is limited in quantity and there is considerable seperation between the
sources. Because of this, it is necessary to utilize sources that are either available,
or can be efficiently developed.
Benefits
Operating in conjuntction with a storage facility means that sources only have to
provide for average demand on a maximum day. It will also provide for peaking
requirements, plus fire protection.
We can send you plans for finalization of alternative 2 if you would like.
