SUPPLY AND CONSUMPTION
The City of Salina has continued to obtain its water supply from the fifteen
(lS) wells, located primarily in the eastern one-half of the City. See page 6,
for a complete layout of the City's wellfield and collection systems to the treat-
ment plant. These wells are generally rated at 1000 gpm {gallons per minute}, and
at times have exceeded this capacity.
We also use the ~urface water of the Smoky Hill river, our diversion point is
located in Oakdale Park, just east of the water plant, and we pump this water di-
rectly into our 1.6 million gallon desilting basin for initial treatment.
Reference is made to page 7, which shows the outline of the complete water-
shed for the Smoky Hill river which contains approximately 8,300 square miles of
area.
The City of Salina has three observation wells located throughout the well

field. This enables us to keep a record check of our ground water levels, and
note, if any, all variations that occur in the Kell field. Referring to page 8,
which shows a cross section of a typical well and the data listed below, you will
be able to obtain a comparison of the average depth of water in the well from year
to year and the depth of the well. It is interesting to note the marked increase
in the percentage of well water used in 1964 as compared to the previous years and
the variation of the depth of the water in the field from prior years.

more than rour times as much water as 0UI' CUITent consumption demands. This ap-
plication is now in the hands of the Division of Water Resources and is contingent
upon the formation of an irrigation district along the Smoky Hill river between the
Kanapolis Reservoir and the City of Assaria. When this irrigation district is com-
pleted, and our application no. 9572 is approved, the City of Salina's future water
supply will be greatly enhanced. Impounding this water in the Kanapolis Reservoir
will give additional security to the availability of a water supply for our imme-
diate needs as well as a source for any expansion or higher consumption that may
develope.
The table comparing the amount of water metered to water pumped on page 4,
shows the percent of water that is actually accounted for as well as that portion
not directly defined. The percentage figure ~ include such items as, water used
by the Street Department, Sewer Maintenance crew, etc. which amounted to approxi-
mately 1.3 million gallons or almost 4.0 acre feet. This percentage figure ~
~ include such items as major and/or minor fires, loss of water due to breaks
in the mains, dead meters, leaks, water used for fire training or water used in
the eleven parks throughout the City. It is interesting to note from the City
of Salina's Fire Department annual report, the total estimated discharge of water
for the three major fires of 1964 amounts to approximately 1,059,290 gallons or
3.3 acre feet. It is generally agreed that any percentage of metered to pumped
water above 75% is considered to be a satisfactory system.

PRODUCTION
The total yearly production can be seen on pages 2 and 5, as well as the
yearly average million gallons per day (mgd), monthly average (mgd) and the
maximum day.
Below is a complete list of chemicals and costs used to soften and treat
all the water produced for the year. In comparing the total costs of chemicals
for 1964 to that of 1963 it is noted the expenditure raised approximately 30%.
This compares favorably to the increased percent of water taken from the wells
for the year on page 2.

In June of 1964 the expansion program at our water plant was completed and
turned over to the City for operation. Included in the expansion was the re-
location of the Mount Barbara standpipe for a lime slurry storage tank with a
80,000 gallon capacity for our calcining (reclaiming of lime) operation.
Referring to the chemical list above t we reclaimed and used 3,641 tons of
lime for the year. This finished product is approximately 72% CaO (calcium
oxide). Converting this amount to the equivalent quanity of commercial lime,
would result in approximately 2,631 ton. Our costs of commercial lime is
$20.05 per ton.

Also included in our plant expansion was the necessary piping, gas scrubber,

compressor and appurtenances to capture our waste stack gases from our calcine
operation to be used in our recarbonation facilities. NOI'lTlally our carbon di-
I
oxide gas for recarbonation purposes is produced by burning natural gas. On
the next page is a table showing a seven month comparison of natural gas burned

for this operation as compared to the decrease in costs when we were equipped
to utilitze our waste gas. This operation was started in June of 1964.
I
We hope to show a more marked improvement and savings in the following years.
I
This year we were influenced by the normal start-up operation period with ac-
companing problems and aquainting ourselves with a completely new piece of
I
equipment, plus the fact we have begun to meter separately, certain operations
and equipment to let us better understand and analyze our methods and costs so
I
as to more factually ascertain our condition on any or all operations at the
I
water plant.

MAJOR PROJECTS AT THE WATER TREATMENT PLANT
PLANT EXPANSION
During the month of June, the City accepted the completed expansion program
at the plant. This project included installation of eight (8) new anthricite coal
filters, filter controls, piping, structures and lime slurry tank with associated
piping, pumps, valves, mixers, gas scrubber, compressors and appurtenances.
Total Cost. . . . . .. $ 421,215.91
RIVER DESILTING BASIN
With the failure of the east wall of the basin in December of 1963, construc-
tion of a redesigned structure was completed in June by the Jarvis Construction
Company of Salina. Mr. Gene Ellis, a private consulting engineer from Topeka,
Kansas, was hired as a consultant to determine the feasibility of either repair-
ing that portion of the wall that was down or any other recommendations that he
-11-
I
I
might offer. Consultations of the City Commission, Mr. Ellis, Wilson and Company
Engineers, and local government officials resulted in the decision to rebuild the
entire structure. The main problem was, in essence, time, so as to have the pro-
ject completed in time for summer demands. This was accomplished, and all of the
redwood flocculator arms were completely rebuilt and replaced, and a sluce gate
valve was installed in the flocculator area to facilitate removal or the heavy
floc and mud residue created by the desilting operation.

HIGH SERVICE PUMP WITH PIPING
In May we started using our new high service pump number eight (8). It is
located on top of the south portion of the two (2) million gallon underground
reservoir at the plant. The pump will deliver 2,300 gpm at 285 fect of head
with a 200 horsepower motor and is used primarily to feed our 500,000 gallon
waterspheroid in Key Acres Addition.
In addition to the high service pump our maintenance crew laid 1,080 feet
of 16" cast iron water pipe along Fifth Street to connect this pump vrith our
system. Although its' primary purpose is for the southern part of the City by
means of valving we can use it for other areas of our system.

On page 13 is a graph which shows by the month, for the last four years,
the revenue, active accounts and sewer use fees collected. This graph follows
close to form, with the highet' consumption and revenues occurring in the summer
months, and accounts dropping off during cooler periods. The decline of active
.
accounts in July of 1962 was a result of the missile program being completed and
General Dynamic personnel leaving.

MISCELLANEOUS PROJECTS
Roily water (red water) t a problem not rare in the operation of water de-
partments the country over, received specialized consideration and corrective
measures during the past year.
Mr. Paul Haney of Black and Veatch, Consulting Engineers, Kansas City,
Missouri, was hired in July 1963 to study the corrosive action of our water
and recommend possible corrective measures. Mr. Haney, with the cooperation
of Mr. Fassnacht, water treatment plant superintendent, made numerous changes
in the treatment of water during the year in an effort to produce a water of
minimum corrosiveness.
The report, which evaluates operational data of a twelve (12) month per-
iod, was received July 1964. Total cost of the project was approximately
$372.00. We feel that the report was informative and the knowledge obtained,
through various consultations with Mr. Haney, highly valuable.
In summation of the generally favorable report Mr. Haney states that the
softened City water is of excellent qu~lity and the treatment provided renders
the water noncorrosive in character. He further states that the water furnished
the consumers is substantially free or iron and believes the City is doing every-
thing that reasonably can be done by the department to prevent corrosion. Mr.
Haney pointed out that "galvanic corrosion" is a problem due to individual
plumbing situations and the City cannot assume responsibility for complete
control of this type of corrosion. He suggests that "dead ends" in the dis-
tribution system should be eliminated to the extent practical and Gvoided in
the future. He recommends the use of cement-lined cast iron pipe for future
installations, pointing out that the cost differential for the cement-lined
pipe is minor in comparison with the benefits.
The National Board of Fire Underwriters made an official survey of Salina
in October 1964. During their stay they evaluated all facets of water production.

distribution and fire protection facilities. They supervised fire flow tests
throughout the system, appraised records and maps and studied production fi-
gures. The results of the study should be received the middle of 1965.
Upon direct recommendation of this Underwriter team we installed a radio
receiver in the Water Treatment Plant superintendents' office to monitor the
frequency on which the fire department transmits. In conjunction with this we
installed a completely new intercom system throughout the plant which enables
us to contact all personnel quickly. When monitoring the fire stations fre-
quency our intercom system is designed so when the superintendent is not in
his office he may turn a switch and the frequency is monitored throughout the
entire plant. This enables our night and weekend skeleton crews to become
aware of the happenings at the fire stations. As a matter of record and as
a backup measure when any major fire occurs we are contacted by phone from
the fire station and water distribution personnel are dispatched to the fire.
The graph on page 16 shows by month, the total amount of water pumped as
compared to the total sewage flow treated. In March of 1964, we received more
sewage flow than water pumped due to rain and snow which was collected by our
combined sewers throughout the City.
The sewage flow total was started in April of 1963 when we installed our
magnetic flow meter in the 36" influent line at the Sewage Treatment Plant.
The graph also shows the total number of well hours pumped for each month.

METER MAINTENANCE
I
I
Harry Hoffman, Foreman
In 1964 an intensive meter testing program was completed. In an effort to
determine the number of years a meter can economically be kept in service, 282
I
meters that had been in service for 15 or more years were removed and closely
I
tested for accuracy in the meter shop.
The meters were tested for accuracy at flows of 10 gallons per minute (gpm),
I
full flow, 1 gpm, 1/2 gpm and 1/4 gpm, minimum flow. It is of interest to note
that statistics show that 16% of the water used in the average household is used
I
at the minimum flow of 1/4 gpm or less. Referring to the test flow data on page
19, it is easy to see the high percent of meters not properly registering under
I
the 1/4 gpm and this effects the revenue to the City more readily than those
I
meters inaccurate at full flows.
To closely figure the cost of the test program and to give us an average
I
cost for all meters removed, tested and repaired or put back into service with-
out repair, a cost record was kept of all factors involved with meter changes.
I
Cost of truck mileage to the meter location, and the serviceman's time to re-
I
I
move the meter was calculated into the cost of repair as well as labor costs
in the meter shop and the actual cost of repair parts.
As you will note in tho table below, of the 282 meters tested 171 (approxi-
mately 60.6%) were put back into service without repair; tW81ve (12) were junked
I
I
I
I
I
I
as the cost of necessary repairs would have been too great to be practical.

The total number of meters that did not test within standards was III (99
repaired and 12 junk.:;d). Following is a breakdown, by test flow rating. of the
meters that did not test within standards. Some of the meters were inaccurate
on only ona flow test while others malfunctioned when tested on all flows. The
figures and percentages below indicate those meters when inaccurate on any or
all specific flows; in other words, a given meter may b~ listed under all test
flows or under only one.

At the present time the results of the tests indicate that the average
meter can be kept in service for more than 15 years and be assumed accurate on
all flows. TIle test meters put back into service without repair will be checked
periodically in our continuing effort to determine when a meter loses it's accur-
acy. thereby losing revenue for the City. A more detailed analysis will be made
of the test at a later date and will be presented as a separate report.
The card index file on each individual meter. as set up in 1963, has proven
valuable as a cross reference and check on all work done. The maintenance of
these records are important as they enable us to know exactly where each meter
is located and when it was installed.
Listed below is a detailed breakdown of the meters owned by the City and
the number repaired in our routine maintenance program.

The total number of meters repaired over the past two years represents
approximately 42% of our inventory. This along with our recent controlled
test program would indicate possibly some different action or thought should
be given this phase of our program.
All of our meters are of the Neptune brand, and we are fortunate to have
a field representative of this company located close to the City.
In different areas of the county, raw water analysis varies to a large
degree. This, as well as the method of water treatment applied, has a direct
bearing on the type and mixtures of metals used in our meters. The measuring
chamber of the meter is the only part that comes into contact with the water,
so, this is a part that we are vitally interested in. To combat any aggressive
action on the measuring chamber, that would effect the accuracy of the meter a
test was run on eight (8) different types of chambers that contained different
compounds. After 18 months of testing it was decided to use an alloy that is
called No. 8 Aurum Bronze. This was considered the best admixture that would
suit our particular water.
Page 21 shows a schematic flow diagram of how the water proceeds through
our plant and into our distribution system.

PLANNING
A great deal of time and effort has been devoted to study for improvement
of our accounting and filing systems. Comparison of tab card systems, computer
systems and modification of our present system has been made. As a result of
this we have recommended that we modify our present aquipm;:mt and replace our
annual ledgers with a monthly stub-ledger system. In conjunction with this plan
we recommended the purchase of an electronic file, similar to the one in use in
I
the Police Department. The floor space salvaged by installation of the clec-
tronic file would greatly ease our handicap of inadequate customer service area.
I
A report was mad8 to Anderson- Johnson trchitects on our needs for office
I
and storage facilities in the proposed joint City-County building.

Forms for turn on, turn off and service orders were revised so as to provid3
more complete information of consumers and property owners as well as en2hling the
service department to maintain a complete record of work done.
The Customer History and Deposit file cards were completely rearranged and
put in alphabetical order.
Efforts to encourage property owners to move wator meters outside were con-
tinued with the department furnishing meter tiles and covers for customers re-
locating their meters. In 1964, 118 meters were moved outside as compared to
22 in 1963.

In July we advertised 1.468 dormant deposits totaling $3.752.00. This was
done after a very exhaustive research in an attempt to contact the depositors.
I
As provided by law. the deposits remaining unclaimed six mODths following our
legal notice will be transferred to the general account of the utility.
I
To eliminate some of the conjestion and machine noise in the office the
I
billing machines were moved into the rooms with the addressograph equipment.
Th~ inconvenience of having the equipment out of the main office was minimized
I
when a phone was installed in the billing room to serve as an intercom between
the two sections.
I
Wilson and Company was retained to fulfill obligations set forth in Ordi-
nance # 6546 which requires biennial examination. by a firm of qualified con-
I
sulting engineers. of the condition. operation and needs of the water and sewage
I
system. The results of this analysis were received in March and indicated that
no changes in operation are necessary or desirable; that the only extraordinary
I
item of maintenance and repair was the repair of the desilting basin. They
further stated that no changes in thu rate structures appear to be desirable
I
during the 1964 - 1965 period.
I
In January the first of six remote registers were installed on a trial basis.
The registers. which are installed outside the house. are attached by cable to the
I
water meter located in the basement or other areas of the building. This enables
the meter reader to read the meter monthly without entering the house thus elimi-
I
nating the necessity of dial cards and repeated estimated billing because of the
I
house being locked. Of the six remote readers installed. two were installed in
series for accuracy checks.
I
To enable the department to readily collect for the sale of bulk water and
eliminate the inconvenience to fire department personnel, a coin operated water
I
meter was installed at Fire Station # 1 on West Elm Street in December of 1964.
I
The results of the meter installation are as yet undetermined but it is felt that
during the summer months. when the sale of water is greatest. a more comprehensive
I
analysis of the operation may be experienced.

SEWAGE COLLECTION SYSTEM
Day Lewis, Superintendent
Earl Nye Ed Loader
The City sanitary sewage system consists of 120.18 miles of underground
sewer lines and 27 sewage pump stations. The 27th station on North Ohio Street
was put into operation in July.
Maintenance of all stations is the charge of a three man crew. Each station
is checked periodically, in most cases daily, necessary repairs are made, and reg-
ular cleanup duties carried out. Last year, in addition to routine maintenance
work, the crew overhauled the three pumps in the station located at 500 East Ash
Street. To lessen the dangers involved with manually raising the pumps for major
repairs, safety measures were permanently installed at the station. An eyebolt
was placed through the roof of the building to be used in conjunction with a hoist
to raise the pumps out of the basement, reducing considerably the possibility of
personal injury or damage to the pump.
All sewage collected throughout the City was pumped to the disposal plant
at an approximate cost of $6,968.00 for 696,887 kilowatt-hours of electrical
power used. On page 29 you will note the breakdown of kilowatt-hours used and
the monthly cost.
A bar screen located just ahead of the pumps at the 500 East Ash Street
station removes large sticks, cans, rags, and other debris from the sewage which
could cC.use damage to the pumps. Last yoar, 779.7 cubic feet of trash was manu-
ally removed from this screen.
The City insures all pump stations against damages caused by lightning.
The value of this protection was realized last year when lightning struck the
North Street station. The cost of $308.00 to repair the damaged pump was fully
covered by the insurance.

SEWER MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
George Pauls, Foreman
Norman Korbe
Raymond Nash
The three man sewer maintenance crew has continued its' extensive preventive
maintenance program. In this program all sanitary sewer lines are periodically
checked, flushed and cleaned if necessary, thereby eliminating many stoppages and
resulting complaints from the public.
Last year, the department received approximately 115 calls regarding stop-
pages in sewer lines. When checked, 74 (approximately 64.3%) of the stoppages
proved to be in the private service of the party with the complaint, rather than
in the City's sanitary sewer line. These figures evidence the effectiveness of
the preventive maintenance program.
In September the Central Garage converted one of our dragging machines to a
conventional type bucket machine. In the past when dragging a sewer the deposits
were dumped on the street and then shoveled into a truck for disposal. The con-
version enables us to bring deposits from the sewer line directly into the truck,
eliminating dumping, shoveling and street cleaning. The Flexible Pipe and Tool
Company, manufacturer of the machine, quoted a price of $585.00 plus charges for
shipping the machine to Dallas, Texas, for the conversion. The cost of the same
job as done by the C~ntral Garage was $341.00, an actual savings of $244.00 to
the City.

Upon completion of our first full year of operations, of the expanded Sewage
I
I
I
Treatment Plant, we can point with pride toward our plant facilities and personnel.
We have continually strived to improve plant operation and to acquaint ourselves
with the new equipment, pumps, graphs and other improvements that were installed
to make this plant a complete up to date facility.
In summarizing some of the highlights of the plant operations for the year
I
I
I would like to point out that we treated 1,547,693,000 gallons of raw sewage;
bypassing none of it, for any reasen, into the Smoky Hill River.
It may be observed by reviewing page 30 that we were able to use sewage gas
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
I
(a by-product of our function) for the complete year. As has been pointed out
previously, the plant boiler will burn 100% sewage gas, 100% natural gas or any
mixture of the two. This has resulted in considerable savings to the City.
In referring to page 31, we hauled 637,000 gallons of stabilized digested
sludge and transferred 364,100 gallons to our drying beds; thus disposing of
a total of 1,001,100 gallons digested sludge. It is interesting to note that
we hauled in our 2,000 gallon sludge truck nearly twice"the amount of sludge
transferred to drying beds. In essence we cut our work load in half by dispos-
ing of the sludge in its liquid state by reducing the number of times the sludge
has to be handled to only once.
Data on different phases of plant operations is set forth in tabular form
on the following pages.

The Department of Water and Sewage in it's third year for the City has seen
several projects started and completed, new equipment and operations begun, con-
tinued effort to improve services to the citizens as well as planning for tha
future.
In January we received the Water Distribution Analysis Report of Bucher and
II Willis Consulting Engineers. The main objectives covered by this report were as
follows:

(a) Obtain pressure flow tests on the existing system and determine
any deficiencies.
(b) Determine methods to correct any deficiencies and combinE~ into
an improvement program.
(c) Predict future population for. a design period of ten (10) years.
(d) Study 1950 fire rating assigned by the N2tional Board of Fire
Underwriters and determine steDs to improve nresent fire rating
of the City.
(e) Tabulate improvements to present system and prepare cost esti-
mates.
This report was readily received by the department as well 2S the Fire Under-
writers team that inspected our system in October. Some of it's recommendations
Qave already been initiated, such as, monitoring the Fire Department's frequency
and installing a 12" water line going south on Broadway.
In April, I attended the Kans2s section meeting of the Americ~n Water Works
Association in Hutchinson and in June the nntion2l convention in Toronto, Canada.
It continues to be the belief of this writor, these groups and functions are in-
valuable.

In July, a team of engineers from the State Board of Health inspected our
newly completed water plant improvements.
In conjunction with the National Public Works Week of September 28 to
October 4, this department participated with the other City departments in the
first open house of the City of Salina. A brochure was printed and assembled
by numerous employees of several departments and passed out to the "Stockholders"
as they rep:istered at City Hall.
Towards the latter part of the year, we started a program of analyzing all
of our raw water from wells. This was initiated to see if an answer could be
found for the occasional odor that would appear from time to time in our finished
water product. A more comprehensive report will be due next year.
On pafc 39 is a chart that attempts to explain the operational functions,
financial distribution and requirements of the Hater and Sewage Department. It
is believed to be self-explanatory.

CONCLUSION
I
In comparing the total results of this year to others, one can point
I
with pride to the amount of improvements made, services offered and records
kept.
I
I believe this year has shown considerable advantage over prior times.
This may be due to numerous factors, but mainly through improved reli?~le
I
communications throughout the complete department and the more comprehen-
I
sive knowledge of suppling efficient services and finished products.
It is hoped that in the coming year we continue to improve in all
I
areas of our department knowing of the many problems that will be gener-
ated by the announced closing of Schillinrr Air Force Base.
I
With these closing thoughts I submit for your approval the 1964 Annual
I
Report of the Water and Sewage Department.
I
Respectfully submitted,
