| Project 16A Contract 2, Hwy 79 South Tank |
| |
This project consists of the replacement of an existing water storage tank. The existing 100,000 gallon tank is a ground storage standpipe, however the new tank is a 150,000 gallon elevated tank, which will allow all of the water in the tank to be available for customer use. This will result in greater system reliability, and fire protection in the area.
Bids for the construction of the water tank were opened on August 21, 2008. Phoenix Fabricators of Avon, IN was the low bidder with a base bid of $359,200.00. Funding for this project will be provided by a grant awarded by the 2006 General Assembly, therefore the project will not have any effect of customer rates. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of July 2009. |

| | | Project 19B Contract 3, Electrical Upgrades & Standby Generator |
| |
This project represents a significant upgrade of Butler Water's Water Treatment Plant (WTP). This project consists of the re-wiring of both the WTP and the raw water intake (RWI). All major electrical devises will be replaced in new buildings which will be constructed adjacent to the WTP and RWI. These new buildings will provide an improved operating environment for the electrical devises. A new standby power generator will also be installed at the WTP. This project will greatly increase the reliability of the WTP by placing electrical components in a more ideal environment, and by providing a new, independent power source that will allow the WTP to operate even during power outages.
Bids for the supply of equipment and construction were opened on December 15, 2008. Hall Contracting of KY, a firm based in Louisville, was the low bidder with a base bid of $635,000.00. The project is scheduled to begin in January 2009 and be complete by October 2009.
Funding for this project has been provided by a grant awarded by the 2006 General Assembly. Therefore, this project will have no effect on customer rates. |
