SALT-LAKE-CITY U'PAH,
March 4, 1943
Honorable George D. Keyser
Commissioner of Water Supply
and Water Works
City
Dear Sir:
With reference to the proposed construction of a small
reservoir at the City's Pumping Plant located at 3rd East and
2Lth South Streets, or at some other point along the artesian
water supply line, I take pleasure in furnishing you the fol-
lowing information:
The quantity of water furnished by the artesian wells is
12 second feet, and the purpose of constructing this reservoir
is to make all of this water available for use.
If 12 second feet is stored. for a period of 9 hours and 36
minutes each day, then this water together with the 12 second
feet will make available for pumping a quantity of 20 second
feet for 14 hours and 24 minutes each day. This would make
use of all{ of the water furnished by the wells. Variations
of this procedure could, of course, be made to suit requirements.
In order to store 12 second feet for a reriod of 9 hours
and 36 minutes, the reservoir capacity would have to be slightly
in excess of 3 million gallons.
We have made a survey of the land owned by the City at
the Pumping Plant site at 3rd East and 2Lth South Streets.
".1so a few borings to determine the general characteristics
of the soil and the elevation of ground cater. i6e have also
made estimates of the cost of constructing a reservoir with
vertical walls immediately west of the Pumping Plant building.
This reservoir will be 110 feet wide and 210 feet long. It
will have a total depth of 16 feet and a maximum water depth
of 15 feet. It will have a capacity of 2,600,000 gallons.
Hon. George D. Keyser -2- Farch 4, 19L3
It is estimated to cost �,13 836.00 without a cover. If covered,
it will cost ant_roxi.mately 20,000.00 additional, making a total
cost of
The borings indicate that the soil at this location consists
of clay and sandy clay, and that the ground water elevation is 5
feet below the surface of the ground. The floor of the reservoir
would be built at the elevation of the ground water, and the top
of the walls would be 11 feet above the ground surface.
The estimated cost of this reservoir is based on the as-
sumption that a satisfactory foundation can be built by using
12 inches of gravel under the concrete. This assumption may be
far from the facts and it may require a large additional expendi-
ture in order to provide a foundation satisfactory for the con-
struction of the vertical reinforced concrete walls for this
reservoir.
It will be necessary to prevent the ground water from
raising very much above its present elevation in order to prevent
damage to the floor from uplift. The floor drainage system would
therefore be connected to a pipe line at the southwest corner of
the reservoir. The flow line of this pipe at this point could be
laid at aprroximately 2 feet lower than the present ground water
elevation. From this point the pipe line would run south to 25th
South Street, thence west to the east side of State Street at
which point the water would be turned into a 24-inch pipe line
which has been constructed along the east side of State Street.
to Stratford Avenue, at which point it would cross the street
in a 2!�-inch pipe. On the nest side of the street it would be
discharged into an open ditch through which it would be conveyed
to the east side of rain Street, at which point it would be de-
livered into a 24-inch concrete pipe and conveyed north for a
distance of 260 feet; thence across Fain Street through a 24-Inch
pipe and delivered into an open ditch on the west side of rain
Street; thence west in an open ditch to the east side of 1st
lest Street; thence north along the east side of 1st Pest Street
1150 feet; thence west to the east side of 2nd Pest Street; thence
north cn the east side of 2nd lest Street for distance of 1250
feet to the north side of the Park City railroad tracks; thence
west 1600 feet; thence in a northwesterly direction for a distance
of 1200 feet, at which point it would enter the No. 1 Drain Ditch,
from which point it would eventually find. its way into Great Salt
Lake.
This is a ccm :licated system of water transmission and. in-
volves the use of many ditches of varying sizes, and would need
some attention and probably maintenance in order to make use of
them.
Eon. George D. "r ewer -z- ,..arch 1et3
The ripe line from the reservoir to State Street would have
a very flat grade and it would be necessary to eeercise consider-
able care in order to present and appreciable amount of sand from
entering this line when washing out the reserPoir.
';echanical equipment could have to be installed for lifting
the sand cut of the reser oir, from which it could he du.^nod into
trucks and hauled away, or otherwise disposed of.
'"inety tons of reinforcing steel will be required for this
`ob, ch it will Probably be impossible to get under present
conditions. fe have, therefore, made an estimate of the cost
of constructing a reservoir with sloping walls. This reservoir
will occupy all the room there is on the Cf_t., 's property from
the west rrorerty line to a rcint 10 feet :west of the west wall
of the dwel line, and. the entire distance from the north property-
line to the south property l line, including the part now being
used hf ":r. Johnson, the :'bade Tree Inspector, for a. nurser .
The water surface in this reservoir would be 237 feet long and
iJ2 feet wife. The depth of water when full would. be 12 feet,
and it would have a capacity* of 2,ti30,000 gallons. The estimated
cost, including the cover, is . 98,021.00. The cover is estimated
to cost 026,14C0.00. This reservoir site could be drained in a
manner similar to that described for the reservoir with vertical
walls, but the same case would have to be exercised in order to
prevent sand from entering, the pipe line •:hen the reser'-cir was
being- washed, and all .end would have to be rercved by mecl apical
means and ha':led away.
.
In building this reservoir it would be necessar;: to exccaYate
1-1/2 feet below the floor elevation in order to make room for a
grecel founcieti on and the necessary drainage s:stem.
`::e have also made a survey of a site located a short distane,
northeast of the point There the Cordon Lane intersects 3rd Last
Street -^educed. This site is on an elevated bench immediately
adjacent to t!he main suprl line and at a crozimatel' Ltation 77
of the succ17° line It is at the present time sugar beet fielc
and ttc surface e1e• .tfon of the _and is entire];; satis factory Jr
the purpose. Approximately I_ feet of emben]ment would be require
around the reservoir. This reservoir would have a capacity of
3,200,000 gallons, but could be made of greater cacacity if re-
quired, as there is plenty of room. The water elevati`on in this
reservoir when full would be 4312.00 end the water. would be 12
feet. deep. This reservoir is estimated to cost •,193,076.00 in-
cluding the cover. If not covered, the cost would be ;31,200.0(
less, making the estimated cost of the reservoir without a cover
,,'�61,t7B.00. This does rot include the cost cf the site.
Hon. Ceorre P. ieyser -4- parch i,, 191L
fey' borings were made on this site for the purpose of
determining the general characteristics of the sail. and- the
ground rater elevation. The soil was found to consist of layers
of clan' and very: fine sand through which water moves very cia-siy.
The ground eater elevation at the west end at aeproximate]y 50
feet east of the main su;rlm line was 2 feet below the proposed
elevation of the reservoir floor. The around rater elevation at
the east end of the site Gas 3 feet above the proposed elevation
of the floor. This difference in elevation is undoubtedly due to
the fact that the field had beer recently irrigated ..hen the
borings were made.
This site is so located that all required drainage will be
b< gravity, and the drainage and Wash water rill be carried
through a pipe line arrroxlmately 700 feet in length, discharg-
ing into rig Cottonwood Crer:t. Before building this reservoir
a drainage line should be constructed a short distance outside
of the outside dimensions of the reservoir and draining toward
the southwest corner where the water will be discharged into the
drainage line leading to Big Cottonwood Creek. This trench shoal,
be bachfilled with clean gravel so as to rrevent ground water,
originating from irrigation or otherwise, from entering the
reservoir site. A gravel foundation would have to be provided
for the floor of the reservoir, in which would be constructed
the drainage system which would be connected 'ri.th the rain_ out-
let drain- The sand deposited in the bottcr. of this reservoir
would be handled through the -•ravity drainage line. A reservoir
ti-ilt at this site would be completely automatic in operation,
the onl• attention required being the cleaning of the reservoir
at such irterf,-Is as m.- be required, gi-roxirca.tel- the uyrer
half of the reservoir can be utilized in co- rnct.ion
with the 12 second feet of renile.r flow at the rate of ?0 second
feet. The lower half can similarly be utilized at the rate of
20 second. feet.
If it is decided to build a reservoir in connection with
this aster sin-i;?- , I oils' _iefir'tei reco .e.nd In fe^or of
its censtrnct on or the site located near the intersect`-on of
cordon Lane and 3rd East Street for the following, reasons;
1. Any desired capacity can be obtained at the Cordon bane
site.
2. The Gordon Lane site will. provide for handling drainage
'cater, wash water and sand by gravity.
3. It would eliminate the necessity for constructing a mechanic
elevator for removing the sand when cleaning the reservoir.
Hon. ceor heyser - - March 1, 19 ?
i; The disposal. of drainage and waste water would not involve
the use of a comrlicated system of ditches.
5. The reservoir built at this location would be completely
automatic and would operate by gravity.
6. In excavating at the lumping ilant site, It will be necessary
to waste the principal part of the material excavated Co
account of it being too wet to be used for embankment pur-
poses, and other material must be hauled in for use in the
construction of the embankment.
