BACKGROUND/HISTORY

The City owns and operates two ponds located at the Rec Center on 11th Ave. These ponds serve two different needs in the City. The South pond is currently lined, however, the City does not have record of the type of liner or where around the pond it is located. This south pond holds augmentation water from the City for irrigation use. The North pond is utilized by the Parks Department as a fishing pond. 

The goal of this project would be to satisfy three needs for the City. The first being the need for safe movement of stormwater around or through the facility. The second being the need to line the north pond. The third would be the need to re-pipe the complex to ensure safe and legal moving and storage of water. A new pump station will be required at the north pond to ensure the project meets the needs of the City.

The City requested a proposal from our on-call utilities and transportation engineering firm, Enginuity Engineering Solutions, for the design of this project. The design will include:

                     Design a liner for the north pond to eliminate the infiltration and allow the pond to stay full for fishing.

                     Design a new diversion for augmentation water to enter the north pond and remove an existing diversion from the South pond, with proper reclamation of the land.

                     Move the pump station intake from the South pond to the North pond.  Design a new irrigation pump station in the north pond and remove an existing pump station from the south pond, with proper reclamation of the land.

                     Allow for safe and efficient stormwater conveyance through this facility with the ability to measure the amount of stormwater flow to ensure the City does not injury any Water Right holders.
