Water Treatment Plant Design Specifications Checklist

A. Provincial/City/Municipality Profile
 Number of cities/municipalities to be served
 Provincial current water utility provider(s)

B. General Map Showing

 Proposed map locations of construction access roads, permanent roads,
and sites for required construction facilities of the Water Treatment Plant
(with coordinates)
 Sources of natural construction materials and disposal areas for waste
material, including the extent of mitigation required.
 Location of disposal areas for debris, sediment, sludge, and spent
chemicals from cleaning or storage solutions.
 Brine disposal ponds
 Location of disposal ponds
 Location of channels and storage locations for brines, sludge, and
chemicals

C. Surface Data
 Topographic Map (includes potential intake, service area, sludge disposal
area, trash disposal area, and visitor facilities)

D. Foundation Data
 Geological data
 a description and interpretation of site geology including physical
quality and geologic structure of the foundation strata, seasonal
ground water, ground subsidence, seismic conditions, existing and
potential landslide, surface water runoff, and engineering geologic
interpretations appropriate to the engineering structure involved
including the conditions expected during excavation and
construction)
 A geologic map, plotted on the topographic map of the site,
showing surface geology and the location of geologic sections, soil
profiles, and all subsurface exploration.
 Geo-resistivity survey
E. Hydrologic Data
 Description of potential feed water source (surface water, ground water,
drains, wells, etc.).
 Rainfall data for minimum and maximum periods (amount, rate, and
distribution, monthly covering at least 10 to 15 years). Include periods of
expected no-flow or aquifer size and recharge rate monthly averages.
 Flow duration curve (dependable capacity)
 Maximum and minimum operating surface water elevations; For
underground sources, include the following:
 Well depth and capacity
 Static and Pumping Water Level
 NWRB Approved Discharge Capacity

F. Operating Data
 Billed Consumption per Municipality (monthly of previous year up to
present), in m3/day; classified as:
 Residential
 Commercial
 Institutional
 Production data of existing water sources per Municipality (monthly of
previous year up to present), in m3/day; includes:
 Groundwater sources
 Surface water sources
 Electrical data
 Location and direction of existing or proposed incoming powerlines
terminating at site.
 Source and voltage of incoming power
 Power voltage, number of phases, and capacity of existing
transmission lines; power rate (power company energy and
demand charges), schedules
