DISCUSSION The Public Works Agency's Water Resources Division operates 21 water wells that provide approximately 70 percent of the City's water supply. The Agency is upgrading the motor control centers at the wells located at 730 Memory Lane and 2736 N. Cambridge. A variable frequency motor drive is used to regulate the quantity of water pumped from most of the City's wells and pump stations. Currently, Wells 28 and 38 do not use variable frequency motor drives. Installation of variable frequency motor drives at Wells 28 and 38 will allow the pumps to start smoothly, use less energy and will reduce pressure surging into the water lines. In addition, once the variable frequency drives are installed, the City will qualify for an energy saving rebate of approximately $73,000.
