DISCUSSION
to upgrade the motor
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 center for Well 34, which is located
at 1727 W. Alton Street. The motor control center regulates the two motors
that are used to move water from the Well 34 reservoir into the
distribution system. 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, the motors at Wells 34 are not equipped with variable
frequency motor drives. Installation of variable frequency motor drives on
the motors at Well 34 will allow the pumps to start smoothly, use less
energy and will reduce pressure surging into the water lines.
