Public Works Automatic Control Valve (ACV) Replacement UT2107
Project Description
This project will replace the six automatic control valves (ACV) at Watauga Pump Station. These six valves include: 3 - 10 inch
valves and 3 - 6 inch valves. The ACV's are a vital component in the process of providing adequate pressure and quantity in the
water distribution system that serves both the City of North Richland Hills and the City of Watauga. The ACV's main purposes are:
eliminating pressure spikes, back siphonage, and controlling the flow of water from the pump. The valves are located on the effluent
side of the six pumps before the discharge header.

Project Justification
The Watauga Pump Station provides roughly 814 million gallons of water to the citizens of North Richland Hills and Watauga. Due
to the age of these valves, repairs have become more frequent to the AVCs and repairs are made by specialized contractors. Parts
for the valves have become more difficult to find and are causing longer out of service periods. When the valve is out of service, the
pump that is associated with the valve is also out of service. Without the AVC, the pump will over amp causing a pump failure. Staff
does not have the training nor the expertise to perform repairs to the ACV.

Note: Project funding source is the Utility Fund (405).
