Attachment 14.9 - basis of design.pdf

This is a technical schematic diagram for an AmeriWater water treatment system, serving as a reference basis of design. The diagram illustrates a comprehensive water purification process with multiple treatment stages, including preliminary filtration, sedimentation, and advanced treatment components. The system incorporates various pumps, tanks, and monitoring equipment positioned throughout the treatment flow to ensure water quality management.

The schematic includes a detailed legend identifying all components and process flows, with color-coded piping (pink dashed lines for primary flow, blue lines for secondary systems, and green lines for auxiliary connections). Key operational notes at the bottom emphasize that the water system bypasses are potentially contaminated and capable of maintaining the water distribution system with all new tanks and interconnections before placing the water treatment system module into service. The design documentation includes specific warnings regarding water quality compliance and system initialization procedures, indicating this is an engineering reference document intended to guide installation, operation, and maintenance of the AmeriWater treatment facility.
