BACKGROUND:
Background
This project is to replace the failing Motor Control Center soft start at Water Plant 15. This Motor Control Center is used to start and stop well 28's motor operation to pump ground water from the well for treatment and distribution to the water systems customers for consumption and fire protection. The upgrade from motor contactors to VFD's will increase the life of water plant equipment as well as lessen distribution system impacts from hard starts. The existing contactor is a simple on/off while the VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) will slowly increase speed of starts and stops and enable the motor speed to be adjusted up or down to maintain proper water pressure in the distribution system. Without this well in operation we could experience low pressure in the service area around this plant.
OPTIONS:
1. Approve: Install VFD Motor Control Center at Water Plant 15, and make the plant more efficient and reliable.
2. Deny: Don't approve project and risk high pressure in the system.
