I. INTRODUCTION
South Talbot Hill pump Statior, is located on South 43rc,
Street, just west of the bridge that crosses Highway S', 167.
The purpose of the pump station is to pump water from the
100 pressure zone and boost it into the 350 pressure zone.
The punped water serves two purposes: (1) domestic use and
12) fire :ghting. The 350 zone extends along Talbot Road
from South 43rd to South 19th Streets.
The South Talbot Hill Pump Station operates in conjunction
with the t' )rth Talbot Hill Pump Station. The north pump
station has a variable speed pump which is the primary
source of watc,r for the 350 zone, The south pump station
serves as the secondary source of water for the 350 zone
should the north pump station variable speed pump be !•nable
to meet the domestic demand or should the variable speed
pump fail.

II. OPERATION
DOMESTIC PUMPS
General
There are two domestic pumps. Domestic pump No. 1 has a
capacity of 120 gpm at 150 feet and domestic pump No. 2
400 gpm it 150 feet. The pumps will be modified in the
future to meet the head needed for filling a future rese -
voir. There is a lead-lag selector switch at the motor
control center which allows either pump to be put in the
lead mode. Normally domestic pump No. 1 is the lead pump.
The pressure on ea^h pump is limited by the pump discharge
control valve so that the domestic pump= allow primary pump-
ing operation in the 350 zone by the variable speed pump.
The two domestic pumps operate only when the variable speed
pump cannot meet demand in the 350 zone.
S tartin
Normally pump starting is automatic. Starting is initiated
from a pressure switch after a manually adjustable time
delay. The time delay prevents unnecessary starting of the
domestic pumps on temporary low pressure. After the time
delay times out, the pump starts. The pump control valve
1s3dd2Di '
pilot solenoid valve energizes and the valve starts to open
with a 30-second time delay starting. The control valve
slowly opens. Valve opening time is adjustable and may be
varied from 30 `_o 60 seconds. The valve limit switch closes
its contacts when the valve is 5 percent open, and the pump
remains running. The 30-second time delay shuts down the
pump if the limit switch contacts do not close, indicating
the control valve did not open.
The pumps can also be started manually. Valve operation is
the same.
Stopping
Normally pump stopping is automatic. Stopping is initiated
from a 50 gpm low flow reading at the flow meter. The 1%,w
flow set point is adjustable. After the low flow occurs,
the control valve pilot solenoid valve is de-energized and
the control valve starts to slowly close. A 30-second time
delay starts. The valve limit switch opens when the control
valve is 5 percent open and the pump motor is turned off.
The 30-second time delay shuts off the pump if the valve
lim'.t switch did not open before 180 seconds occur, indicat-
ing that the valve did not close. After the pump shuts off,
an adjustable timer starts which prevents the pump from
automatically starting until the delay time occurs. This
ls3dd3D1
prevents the pump from cycling, that is, coming on again
immediately after shut-off, in order to allow the zone pres-
sure to be built back up by the variable speed pump.
The pumps can also be stopped manually. Valve operation is
the same.
FIRE PUMPS
General
There are two fire pumps. Each has a capacity of 3,500 opr..
at :10 feet and 5,000 gpm at 140 feet. The pump head is to
prow:-4e sufficient flow to fight a fire either at the top or
extrenity of the 350 service zone. One pump serves as a
backup. Both cannot operate together. Tnere is a selector
switch at the motor control center which allows either pump
to be the base pump. Each pump has a control valve to bring
the pump on or off line smoothly. Normally, a fire pump
will be started on low pressure in the system. Once a fire
pump is on, it must be turned off manually. The principle
reason for manual shutoff of a fire pump is to eliminate
automatic pump shutoff during a fire. A flashing red light,
located on the roof of the rump station; provides visible
indication that the pump is running. A pressure reducing
feature on the pump control valve prevents the fire pumps
1s3dd4Dl
from producing abnormally high pressure in the domestic
water system,
Starting
Normally pump starting is automatic. Starting is initiated
from a pressure switch. Tne pump control valve pilot
solenoid valve energizes and the valve starts to cpe.i with a
60-second time delay starting. The control valve slowly
opens, valve opening time is ad3ustable and may vary from
65 to 160 seconds. The valve limit switch closes its con-
tacts when the valve is 5 percent open, and the pump remains
running. The 60-second time delay shuts down the pump if
the limit switch contacts do not close, indicating the con-
trol valve did not optn.
The pump can also be started manually. Valve operation is
the same.
Stopping
The pump is stopped manually. When the swatch is placed in
the off position, the control valve pilot solenoid valve is
de-energized and the control valve starts to slowly close.
The valve limit switch opens when the control valve is 5 pe-
icent open and the pump motor is turned off. The 60-second
ls3dd5D1
time delay shuts off the pump if the valve limit switch did
not open. before 180 seconds occur, indicating that the valve
did net close.
Pump Station Control Settings
Table 1 lists the pump station pressure control settings.
Each is field adjustable and the listed ones are the initial
settings. Change from these initial settings is to be ex-
pected with more operating experience. Those control fea-
tures which are not located at the pump station but directly
relate to the operation of the pump station are identified.
Table 7 lists the }amp station time control settings. Each
timer is adjustable and the listed ones are the initial
settings. As more experience is gained on the operation of
the punp station, change from these initial settings can be
expected to occur.
Pump Station Operation
The North Talbot Hill Pump Station variable speed pump is
the primary source of water for the 350 zone. This pump has
a capacity of 500 gpm at a constant head of 360 feet. As
long as demand in the system is below 500 gpm, the South
ls3dd6D1
w
Talbot Hill Pump Station will remain off, as the va.iable
speed pump handles all demand.
As demand in the system increases beyond the capacity of the
variable speed pump, system pressure will drop. When the
system prere reaches 340 feet, it activates domestic No. 1
pressure switch which, starts time delay relay No. 10 (TDR-
10) . if the pressure remains below 340 feet for TDR-10's
preset time, domestic pump No. 1 turns on. However, the
pressure rises abova 340 feet while TDR-10 is still timing,
TDR is overriden and domestic pump No. 1 does not come on.
Once domestic pump No. 1 is on, it remains on until low flow
occurs at the flow meter. This flow is initially set at
50 apm and has an adjustable range : 0-100 gpm, When the
flow from domestic pump No. 1 falls below 50 gpm, it shuts
Off. It is to be expected that this low flow setting wi.l
change with future experienced gained in operation of the
pump station.
With both the variable speed and domestic No. 1 pumps on,
they will handle system demand until the system pressure
again starts to drop, thus exceeding their combined capaci-
ty. When the system pressure drops to 330 feet, it acti-
vates domestic No. 2 pressure switch which starts TDR-11.
If the pressure remains below 330 feet for TDR-11's preset
time, domestic pump No. 2 turns on. However, if the pres
1s3dd7Dl
rises above 330 feet while TDR-11 is still timing, TDR-11 is
overriden and domestic pump No. 2 does not come on. Onces
domestic pump No. 2 is on, it remains on until low flow
occurs at the flow meter. This flow is initially set at 100
gpm and has an adjustable range of 0-500 gpm. When the flow
from, domestic pump No. ' falls below 100 gpm, it shuts off.
It is tr be expected that this low flew setting will change
with future experience gained in operation of the pump sta-
tion. With the variable speed and two domestic pumps on,
they will handle system until the system pressure again
starts to drop, thus exceeding their combined capacity. It
is not expected that their combined capacity will be ex-
ceeded for 5 to 10 years Lecause the pumps have been de-
signed to meet future demands. The only time their capacity
is expected to be eyceeded is in the case of a fire. In
this case, when the system pressures drops to 300 feet, the
pressure reducing station at south 19th Street opens. Drop-
ping of the system pressure to 290 causes the pressure re-
ducing station at south 23rd Street to open. The total flow
into the system at a time is 2,000 to 3,000 gpm and is ex-
pected to provide fire fighting water to fires occurring in
residential areas. For fighting large fires, such is at the
Valley General Hospital, the system pressure will drop to
175 feet which activates the fire pump pressure switch. The
fire pump starts immediately and remains on until manually
shut off.

III. MAINTENANCE
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" - Poor
Richard's Almanac.
Systematic inspection and maintenance permits early correc-
tion of faults before major defects and failures develop.
Operation and maintenance are closely related. The superin-
tendent and operator should establish a comprehensive plan
covering routine maintenance, equipment records, maintenance
scheduling, supplies and spare parts, lubrication, and war-
ranty provision.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
A good maintenance program is essential in order to maintain
successful operation of the pump station, The most impor-
tant item is maintenance of the mechanical equipment; that
is, pumps, valves, and other moving equipment. Building and
grounds also require routine maintenance.
A good maintenance program also requires a good record sys-
tem that the operators must maintain. The record system
will tell when maintenance is due and will provide a record
of equipment performance.
1s3dd9D1
Responsibility for general and ; reventive maintenance and
repairs of the system is incorporated in the duties of the
operating personnel. It is vital that all personnel be
knowledgeable and accept the responsible duties of genera..
and preventive maintenance of all facilities. Procedures
and routine duties of facility maintenance as outlined in
this section are to be followed as directed. In summary,
operating personnel will;
1. Follow the outlined maintenance prograr, established
Z. Thoroughly read and understand the manufacturer's main-
tenance instruction manuals contained in the catalog
maintained at the treatment plant
3. Critically evali > -e the maintenance and repair capabil-
ity of operatorlsl and shop facilities; request adv:.ce
when needed
Building and d Grounds
It is important that the buildings and grounds be kept in d
clean, sanitary, and well-repaired condition at all times.
People often judge the ability of the operator on the basin
of pump station appearance. The buildings and grounds are
designed to require a minimum of maintenance. A regular
1a3ddIOD1
schedule of weed control is -1visable. Painting is impor-
tant and should be done on a routine basis. This not only
helps keep up the appearance of the facilities but also is
preventative maintenance; it prevents deterioration of the
wood and metal surfaces. A time should be established,
preferably in the spring of each year, to thoroughly inspect
the structure and grounds and perforr., necessary maintenance.
Operating personnel should, however, also be continuously
alert to note problems that may require immediate repair to
prevent serious damage or to maintain station operation.
Annual inspection and maintenance should include:
1. Clean and paint doors, if required.
2. Inspect the building masonry; repair all cracks, de-
teriorated mortar joints, broken brick, and other de-
fects that may be found.
3. Inspect the roof; renew if badly deteriorated or if
leaks have been observed.
1. I:ispect all concrete for cracks, leaks, and surfacv
deteriorations repair as required.
S. Inspect the plumbing system; repair all leaks.
LMMMMIJ
1s3ddllDl
6. Clean and paint all fabricated metalwork, piping, and
pipe supports and hangers as required.
Equipment
Maintenance is of prime importance in keeping equipment in
good operating condition to maintain, peak performance.
Disabled or improperly working equipment is a threat to the
Pump station capability, and repair costs for poorly main-
tained equipment will exceed the cost of maintenance.
Operating personnel should thoroughly read the equipment
manufacturer's information on the maintenance of equipment
and understand the procedures.
E�IPMERT RECORDS
A listing of each piece of equipment, together with all
pertinent data (capacity, 'ufacturer, model and serial
number, electrical and mechanical data, and maintenance) ,
should be prepared in card file form. These cards should
reference the library of ranufacturer's information and data
sheets containing more detailed and specific information
that has been provided during construction. Appendix A
contains a list of equipment maintenance summaries that
contain pertinent lubrication and maintenance information.
ls3ddl2Dl
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING
A card file system should be established to ensure that
thorough and timely preventive maintenance tasks are per-
formed.
Basically, this system should consist of a series of 50
cards, color coded by frequency of maintenance task. For a
specific piece of equipment, several cards may be prepared,
each of which defines a specific maintenance item and each
of which bears a different color tab. These cards would be
contained in a calendar `ilo and, as a specified task is
performed, it is initialed and placed in the position in the
file corresponding to its next scheduled performance. As an
example, a task required to be done monthly and drawn from
the March (current month) file would be initialed complete
and placed in the April (next scheduled performance) file.
A task performed every 3 months would be drawn from the
March file and placed in the June file upon completion.
Each card would contain pertinent data on the task, lubri-
cants, special considerations, and space for date, initials,
and remarks.
Corrective maintenance should be recored in a log that pro-
vides for equipment name, nature of breakdown or failure,
materials and labor used, and special remarks.
1s3dd13Dl
SUPPLIES AND SPARE PARTS
Recommended lists for spare parts for each major equipment
items should be obtained from the __ A separate list of
spare parts should be maintained in the storeroom with space
to indicate the date they were used and containing informa-
tion necessary for reorder.
LUBRICATION
The manufacturer's maintenance datd and the maintenance
summary forms contain suggested lubricants and
cross-references by manufacturer.
WARRANTY PROVISION
For the first year of operation after final acceptance, the
contractor is responsible for the repair or replacement of
anything that fails to perform prnperly because of defective
material or workmanship. All the equipment is likewise
guaranteed for the first year of operation. During this
time the operators are responsible for preventative mainte-
nance but should not perform any corrective maintenance or
alter the equipment in any way without first telling the
contractor. Corrective maintenance and other repairs are
the contractor's resporsibility, though the contractor and
ls3ddl4Dl
plant operator may agree to have the plant operator do the
work and be paid for it by the contractor. If the plant
operator should do any corrective maintenance without first
notifying the contractor, the contractor may not have to pay
for it.
