GUEST: Robert Rauch, Town Engineer o Sewer treatment plant capacity o WWTP has capacity of 200,000 GPD, should also be able to handle peak flow events without need t-o bypass treafinent system. Has enough capacity to take on both major development projects at QHGC and Wheatlands.
o Additional rupu"lty may also be achieved without need for physical upgrades to plant to handle future capacity needs.
o Harbor Golf Course- currently has 14 EDUs (3,500 GPD), 4 in use/10 Queenstown reserved. Planned development projects will likely require 14 additional EDUs for a total of 28 (7,000 GPD) o Wheatlands- Planned development project will likely require 264EDUs (66'000GPD) o Boat ramp and Dredging projects o Will be working *i*t fUr. Ryan on bid advertising for ramp work. Getting competitive prices on materials.
o Dredging work ready to be advertised for bids.
o Water tower maintenance (Wall Street tower) o Suggests option of replacement of water tower with antenna tower. Cost would be approx. $1-SO,OOO - ZbO,OOO to erect tower. Less maintenance costs long term for antenna tower vs. water tower. Water tower not needed for capacity purposes once new water tower is completed. Would need to investigate if enough area for supports and also need to discuss with AT&T about potential for relocation to antenna tower or
new water tower.
o Other option would be keeping as functional water tower- increased maintenance costs.
o Other option would be keeping as non-functional water tower- less mainte,nance required, less costs.
o Urquhart Drainage o Potential solution would be to intercept water on right side of Old Wharf Lane prior to property, direct to left side of road and direct into series of stormwater management systems before running into creek.
