M.E Simpson Co., Inc. I Water Distribution .Systeirn Leak Detection (Program Page 6 Prepare the final report at the completion of the project which will include all leak location reports with drawings, total of estimated water loss, total pipe distance investigated, a description of the area surveyed, and other problems found in the system during the course of the survey that need the attention of the Water Utility. The leak summary will list leak types such as main leaks, service line leaks, valve leaks, or hydrant leaks. A cost benefit analysis of the survey based on the "cost to produce" water will also be included that describes the financial impact to the Utility for water loss. Recommendations for system maintenance will be a part of this report based on field observations made during the survey. This fin lmmf. (C sh ll be made available for submission to the,_Utility within thiLti ) oHim dg s of the corn letion of the fielclwork. Assumptions & Services Provided by the Utility The Utility will furnish all maps in an electronic format or paper atlases (two copies), and records necessary to properly conduct the survey. The Utility will assist as necessary to clean out service valves, meter pits and valve -boxes needed for listening. The Utility will provide a Primary Contact Person and/or secondary contact person for the Field Staff to report to on a periodic basis. This person shall act as the official liaison for the duration of the Leak Survey. This person shall have a working knowledge of the water system and will be helpful in attempting to locate particularly hard -to -find water valves for listening and for general information about the water system. This erscrn M11 not need to assist ti,ie Pura�i��mi �qm err, full time basis, but only on an "as needed" basis. The Utility will assist, if needed, to help gain entry into sites that may be difficult to get into due to security issues or other concerns. The Utility will assist, if needed, to locate all nonmetallic pipe within the service area. This would include all Concrete Cylinder pipe, Asbestos Cement Pipe, PVC pipe and HDPE pipe. We will encourage the immediate digging of major leaks (main breaks) so that if there are problems with the leak location, the problems can be corrected while the Project Team is close by and can verify the site.
