Well Development, Treatment Facilities, Water Line Extension, Storage Tank, Booster Station, Pressure Control Station, and Dam Removal
Green Township Municipal Authority, Indiana County
This project included the expansion of the existing water system to serve 350 customers of the Starford and Lovejoy areas of Green Township. The expansion consisted of approximately 35,000 LF of 8” water main. The water is supplied by new wells developed to replace existing surface water reservoirs in Commodore and Cookport. The wells have permitted capacities of 75 and 100 gallons per minute respectively. The project also included a booster pump/pressure reducing building that allows the water to flow back and forth through the upper and lower pressure zones.
A new 136,000-gallon water storage tank was constructed, and the existing Commodore tank was repainted. Approximately 140 customers were added to the system as part of the project.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
