1. Emergency Process Equipment Generator and Onshore Pump Intake Station

This project consists of providing the water treatment plant with an emergency generator with the
ability to produce enough electricity to power all of the primary equipment necessary to safely treat
incoming raw water and all essential monitoring and control equipment. In addition, this project will
add a land-based, raw-water pump station. This will provide an alternative raw-water supply station
that is independent of the current raw-water intake station in Eagle Mountain Lake. Should the
current intake station ever need to be taken out of service for an extended period of time or
experience a long-term failure then the land-based station could continue to supply the water plant
with raw water for treatment and distribution.

Cost: $435,000

Funding Source: Prior Year Bond and C.O. Funds
2017 SWIFT Fund Bond Issuance Proceeds

Operating Budget Impact: No direct financial impact on the operating budget is expected as a
result of this project. No additional staff will be required as a third-party
contractor will be hired to perform the construction. Current staff
members will be involved with the project and they must dedicate time
to oversee the project which does take staff time away from routine
duties creating an indirect impact on the operating budget.
