GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION The City of Alhambra Utilities Department operates the Marengo Reservoir facility as part of its municipal drinking water system. The facility currently utilizes an on-site chlorine generation system for disinfection and consists of four existing reservoir tanks, each with an approximate capacity of 2.3 million gallons. The existing chlorination infrastructure is over 20 years old, and replacement parts are obsolete or difficult to obtain. The Marengo Reservoir facility is one of several storage facilities within the City’s water system. The City desires a design that emphasizes operational reliability, maintainability, regulatory compliance, and standardization to facilitate implementation of similar improvements at other City reservoir facilities in the future. DESCRIPTION OF THE WATER SYSTEM The City provides water services to approximately 18,965 customer service connections, serving an approximate population of roughly 86,000 within its 7.6-square-mile service area. The City’s water infrastructure includes approximately 145 miles of distribution main and 30 miles of transmission pipeline, nine active wells, six booster pumping stations, fourteen water storage reservoirs, and one Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MWD) service connection. The City’s existing source of water supply consists of groundwater produced from the Main San Gabriel Basin and from the Raymond Basin, and treated water purchased from MWD. Water purchased from MWD is disinfected using monochloramine. Given the City's long-term objective of implementing similar improvements at other reservoir sites, the Consultant shall consider the broader City water system, operational practices, source water characteristics, and future standardization opportunities when evaluating and developing project recommendations. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE – Marengo Reservoir Update The City intends to replace the existing on-site chlorine generation system with a new sodium hypochlorite storage and feed system and install reservoir mixing and water quality monitoring improvements to enhance water quality, operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and system resiliency. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing chlorine generation facility and construction of a new building with designated areas for chemical storage, chemical feed, and water quality monitoring. The project also includes installation of two independently operable mixers within each reservoir tank, dedicated water quality monitoring and control stations for each tank, redundant sample collection systems, automated disinfectant residual control, SCADA integration, and associated electrical, instrumentation, communication, and control system improvements. The City desires a design that emphasizes operational reliability, redundancy, maintainability, regulatory compliance, and standardization to facilitate implementation of similar improvements at other City reservoir facilities in the future.
