Re: Glenbrook Addition
City of Pearland
P. 0. Box 1157
Pearland, Texas 77581
Gentlemen:
In accordance with your request we have reviewed the capacity of the sewer
system through the Corrigan Addition to determine its capability of accepting
additional flow from the Glenbrook Addition. It is our understanding that the
proposal is to tie this into the Lift Station and Force Main which goes into a
manhole numbered A45 just off Hatfield Road in the Corrigan Addition.
We have checked the capacities of the lines in the Corrigan Addition from the
8 inch line through the 10 inch line and on down to the 12 and 15 inch lines.
The 12 inch and 15 inch lines will carry the additional capacity including the
Infiltration/Inflo that now exists in the Corrigan Addition Sewer System. The
10 inch line in approximately 2 of its distance does not compute to carry this
additional load if the Infiltration/Inflo is figured into the calculations.
There is one section from manhole A25 to A26 that only has 0.12% grade on a
10 inch line making its full carrying capacity 577,637 gallons per day. At
this particular point with Infiltration/Inflo we get a total cumulative flow
including the Glenbrook Addition of 593,158 gallons per day. This shows that
this particular line would be overloaded and does not have the capacity to
carry this additional load. Likewise there are a number of other segments in
the 10 inch line, including a segment from A15 to A20 and a segment from Al2
to A15 that would not carry this additional load. In fact, this last particular
section would be very close to not carrying the additional load even without
the Infiltration/Inflo figured into it.
It is a fact that the total load from the Glenbrook Addition will not be
immediately added on to this system. The Glenbrook Addition will not be
completely built up for several years, so therefor the total flow that we put
into the calculations will not actually be added to the system for a year or two.
Therefore if this is a temporary solution for the Glenbrook Sewer System that
would be corrected within 1 or 2 years, our recommendation would be that the
system would carry it for approximately a year and possible longer. If it is
possible to reroute the force main to tie into the 12 or 15 inch line on
McLean Road, this line will handle this additional load even with the Infiltra-
tion/Inflo problem. Therefor if the Infiltration/Inflo is not going to be
corrected within the next year, or if this line from Glenbrook Addition is
contemplated to be left in this location for longer than 1 to 2 years, our
recommendation would be to tie into either the 12 or 15 inch line.
We do not forsee any problem on the overall water system due to the addition of
this subdivision. We have not reviewed any size of lines bringing water to
this subdivision, so therefor we cannot comment on the capacity of said lines
to serve this area, but as stated the overall water system is well capable of
handling this additional subdivision load. Likewise we do not see any specific
problem to the overall traffic flow. There of course will need to be additional
maintenance on streets that carry the traffic from this subdivision. This is
true of the addition of any subdivision, as the traffic on streets will be
increased by the number of lots or cars involved and therefor they will cause
additional maintenance and of course some problems in any case with the traffic
control at various points.
We trust that this is the necessary information in regard to this subdivision
at this time, but if anything additional is needed please feel free to call us.
Very truly yours,
COENCO, Inc.
