Overview of Ekilsting Systern
In 2016, the City provided water service to an average of approximately 8,796 customer
connections, or 16,,461 equivalent residential units (ERUs), within the City's water service area. The
City limits comprise an area of approximately 6.58 square miles, which also represents the water
service area. The 2016 population served by the water system was approximately 20,,620.
The City's water supply is currently provided by the Reeder Reservoir and the
Talent -Ashland -Phoenix (TAP) "Emergency" Interne that conveys water supply from the Medford
Water Commission (MWC). Supplemental raw water supply may also be provided by the Talent
Irrigation District (TID). Water supply from Reeder Reservoir and TID is treated at the City's Water
Treatment Plant. Water supply from MWC is rechlorinated at the TAP booster pump station (BPS).
Water storage is provided by four treated water storage/distribution reservoirs that have a total
capacity of approximately 6.8 million gallons (MG). In addition., the City's water system has 14
pressure zones with 31 pressure reducing stations. The system also has 4 booster pump stations
and approximately 119 miles of water main. A tabular summary of the 2016 water system data is
shown in Table 1-2.

Authorization and Purpose
In accordance with Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR 333-61-060),, this Water Master Plan (WMP)
was developed to satisfy the City's requirements for planning by the Oregon Health Authority. The
previous WMP was completed in 2012. The purpose of this updated WMP is as follows:
• To evaluate existing water demand data and project future water demands;
• To analyze the existing water system to determine if it meets minimum requirements and
the City's own policies, level of' service goals and design criteria;
• To identify water system improvements that resolve existing system deficiencies and
accommodate the systern's future needs for at least 20 years into the future;
• To prepare a schedule of improvements that meets the goals of the City's financial program;
• To document the City's existing water rights, their current status,, and future requirements;
• To evaluate past water quality and identify water quality improvements, as necessary; and
• To document the City's operations and maintenance program including personnel
requirements.

Definition of Terms
The following terms are used throughout this WMP.
Consumption: The true volume of water used by the water system"s customers. The volume is
measured at each customer's connection to the distribution system.
Cross Connection: A physical arrangement that connects a public water system, directly or
indirectly, with facilities that could present the potential for contaminating the public water
system.
Demand: The quantity of' water required from a water supply source over a period of time to meet
the needs of domestic., irrigation,, commercial, industrial, and public uses, and provide enough
water to supply firefighting., system losses, and miscellaneous water uses such as hydrant flushing
and non -revenue water uses. Demands are normally discussed in terms of flow rate, such as million
gallons per day (MGD) or gallons per minute (gpm) and are described in terms of a volume of water
delivered during a certain time period. Flow rates pertinent to the analysis and design of water
systems are as follows:
• Average Day Demand (ADD): The total amount of water delivered to the system in a year
divided by the number of days in the year.
• Maximum Day Demand (PDD): The maximum amount of water delivered to the system
during a 24-hour time period of a given year.
• Peak Hour Demand (PHD): The maximum amount of water delivered to the system,
excluding fire flow, during a 1-hour time period of a given year. A system's peak hour
demand usually occurs during the same day as the IVIDD.

CHAPTER 1
CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs): One ERU represents the amount of water used by one
single-family residence for a specific water system. The demand of other customer classes can be
expressed in terms of ERILIs by dividing the demand of each of the other customer classes by the
demand represented by one ERU.
Fire Flow: The rate of flow of water required during firefighting, which is usually expressed in terms
of gpm.
Head: A measure of pressure or force exerted by water. Head is measured in feet and can be
converted to pounds per square inch (psi) by dividing feet by 2.31.
Headloss: Pressure reduction resulting from pipeline wall friction, bends, physical restrictions, or
obstructions.
Hydraulic Elevation: The height of a free water surface above a defined datum; the height above
the ground to which water in a pressure pipeline would rise in a vertical open-end pipe.
Maximum Contaminant Level (MCQ: The maximum permissible level of contaminant in the water
that the purveyor delivers to any public water system user.
Pressure Zone: A portion of the water system that operates from sources at a common hydraulic
elevation. For example,. the 2170 Granite Zone 1 refers to one of the City Is s primary pressure zones,
which has a reservoir with an overflow elevation of 2J70 feet.
Purveyor: An agency, subdivision of the state, municipal corporation, firm, company, mutual or
cooperative association, institution, partnership, or persons or other entity owning or operating a
public water system. Purveyor also means the authorized agents of such entities.
Supply: Water that is delivered to a water system by one or more supply facilities., which may
consist of supply stations, booster pump stations., interties, springs, and wells.
Storage: Water that is "stored" in a reservoir to supplement the supply facilities of a system and
provide water supply for emergency conditions. Storage is broken down into the following three
components, which are defined and discussed in more detail in Chapter 5: operational storage,
emergency storage and fire flow storage.
Water Loss: Water that is measured as going into the distribution system but not metered as going
out of the system.

This chapter describes the City's existing and future water service areas and water service
agreements and provides a thorough description of the water system and its individual
components. The results of the evaluation and analyses of the existing water system are presented
in Chapter S.
\A/ater Service Area
The City's primary source of raw water is the Ashland Creek watershed. In 1887 through 1890, the
City installed its first water works and pipe network to serve the City's early settlers. In 1909, piping
was installed to deliver water to town from the East and West Forks of Ashland Creek. In 1928, the
City constructed Hosler Dam at the confluence of the West and East Forks of Ashland Creek. Reeder
Reservoir, the resulting impoundment, provides 280 MG of storage for the City's water supply.
Water from the reservoir is conveyed to the City's WTP located along Ashland Creek, approximately
1 mile below Reeder Reservoir. The City has an agreement with the TID to provide additional raw
water supply in drought years. When needed, TO water is pumped from Ashland Canal by the
City's Terrace Street Pump Station up to the WTP,, where it is treated with the Ashland Creek
Supply. In 2016, construction of permanent facilities was completed to enable supply from the
MWC to be conveyed to the City via a partnership with the cities of Talent and Phoenix; otherwise
known as the TAP Supply System or TAP Intertie.
Exis Ling Water Service Area
The City's existing water service area is equivalent to its City limits, which covers an area of
approximately 6.58 square miles with an Urban Growth Boundary of 7.40 square miles. The existing
water service area is shown on Figure 2-1. The existing service area is approximately bordered by
Interstate 5 (1-5) to the north, by the topography of the Siskiyou Mountain Range to the south and
the west., Highway 66 to the east,, with Highway 99 cutting through the middle of the City. Along
the north -south axis of' the system, the existing retail water service area is approximately 2.6 miles
long. Along the east -west axis, the existing retail water service area varies from 1.9 to 3.8 miles
wide.
Along with the water service area, Ashland's city limits and urban growth boundary (UGB) are
shown in Figure 2-1.
Future Water Service Area
The City's UGB includes most areas of the existing water service area, as well as additional area to
the northwest near the TAP Booster Pump Station (BPS) and areas to the southwest to Tolman and
Neil Creeks. In order for customers or properties to be provided water, their property must be

CHAPTER 2 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
annexed into the City (although the City does have a resolution to allow water service to customers
with failed wells). The UGB is approximately 7.40 square miles and is shown on Figure 2-1.
The topography of the existing service area is generally rising in elevation from the northwest
corners to the southern side of the city,, with the highest elevations being the hillsides southwest of
the Granite Reservoir. Service area elevations range from approximately 1,.700 feet above sea level
in the northwest to approximately 2,300 above sea level feet in the southwest portion of the
service area. The City's system is located within the Rogue River watershed.
howerAory of Existing Water Facilities
This section provides a detailed description of the existing water system and the current operation
of the facilities. The analysis of the existing water facilities is presented in Chapter 6.
Pressure Zones
The City's highest and lowest elevation customers are separated by approximately 1,100 feet. The
wide elevation range requires the water pressure be increased or reduced to maintain pressures
that are safe and sufficient to meet the flow requirements of the system. The City achieves this by
dividing the water system into four major service areas (named after the storage facilities that
serve them), each of which contains several pressure zones as shown in Figure 2-1. The hydraulic
grade in each pressure zone is regulated by reservoir levels, pressure reducing station settings,
pump station settings, or a combination of these, as illustrated in the hydraulic profile (Figure 2-2).
The Granite service area is comprised of three different pressure zones: 2170 Granite Zone 1;
1980 Granite Zone 2; and 2060 Granite Zone 3. The 2170 Granite Zone 1 is supplied in the
southwest from the Granite Reservoir and the TAP BPS. The 2170 Granite Zone 1 serves customers
within an elevation range of' approximately 1,,800 feet to 2,.600 feet., and is situated between the
northwest portion of the City to Clay Street at its most eastern point. The 2170 Granite Zone 1 has
six pressure reducing valves (PRVs) supplying water to the two lower 1980 and 2060 Granite Zones.
The 1980 Granite Zone 2 is supplied by five PRVs from the 2170 Granite Zone 1 and three other
PRVs from the 2060 Granite Zone 3. The 1980 Granite Zone 2 serves customers within an elevation
range of approximately 1,300 feet to 1,,840 feet,, and is the most northerly pressure zone. The
1980 Granite Zone 2 is predominantly located between the railroad to the west and Patton Lane to
the east.
The 2060 Granite Zone 3 is located just east of the 1980 Granite Zone 2 on Patton Lane and north
of the 2170 Granite Zone 1 on Clear Creek Drive. The 2060 Granite Zone 3 is supplied by two PRVs
from the 2170 Granite Zone 1,, which establish pressures in the zone. The 2060 Granite Zone 3
currently serves customers within an elevation range of approximately 1,,740 feet to 1,340 feet.
The large Crowson service area is comprised of 8 separate pressure zones: the 2425 Crowson
Zone 1; 2200 Crowson Zone 2; 2270 Crowson Zone 3; 2640 Crowson Zone 4; 2270 Crowson Zone 5;
2290 Crowson Zone 6; 2570 Crowson Zone 7; and 2610 Crowson Zone 8.

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The 2425 Crowson Zone 1 has two separate sections divided by a small sliver of the 2170 Granite
Zone 1. The westerly section of the zone is directly supplied by the WTP, while the other section of
the pressure zone is indirectly supplied by the WTP via the Crowson Reservoir. The 2425 Crowson
Zone 1 serves customers within an elevation range of approximately 2.,080 feet to 2.,440 feet. The
2425 Crowson Zone 1 has 12 PRVs supplying water to lower zones: 4 PRVs provide water to the
2170 Granite Zone 1, 1 PRV provides water to the 2270 Crowson Zone 5,, 2 PRVs provide water to
the 2270 Crowson Zone 3,, 4 PRVs provide water to the 2290 Crowson Zone 6. and 1 PRV provides
water to the 2200 Crowson Zone 2. Two PRVs can supply the 2425 Granite Zone 1 from the 2559
Alsing Zone 1.
The 2200 Crowson Zone 2 is supplied with water from two PRVs; one from the 2425 Crowson
Zone 1 and one from the 2290 Crowson Zone 6. The 2200 Crowson Zone 2 is the eastern most

approximately 1,,960 feet and 2,160 feet. The 2270 Crowson Zone 3 is located just east of Ashland
Creek,, between Iowa Street to the south and Hargadine Street to the north.
The 2640 Crowson Zone 4 is a small zone supplied with water from the South Mountain Booster
Pump Station. The 2640 Crowson Zone 4 serves customers within an elevation range of
approximately 2,340 feet and 2,,480 feet,, just south of' Emma Street and north of Pinecrest Terrace.
The 2270 Crowson Zone 5 is a very small pressure zone consisting of one small section of Harmony
Lane, serving customers between Siskiyou Boulevard and Lit Way. The 2270 Crowson Zone 5 is
supplied water from one PRV from the 2425 Crowson Zone 1 and serves customers within an
elevation range of approximately 2,040 feet and 2,,060 feet.
The 2290 Crowson Zone 6 is provided water through the 2425 Crowson Zone 1 by four pressure
reducing valves. The pressures in this zone are established by these four PRVs- The 2290 Crowson
Zone 6 currently serves customers between the elevations of approximately 1.,880 feet to
2,,080 feet.
The 2570 Crowson Zone 7 is located just east of 2610 Crowson Zone 8., which supplies the zone
from a single PRV. The 2570 Crowson Zone 7 serves customers between an elevation range of
approximately 2,240 feet and 2.,340 feet.
The 2610 Crowson Zone 8 is located towards the southwest corner of the City. The 2610 Crowson

The last Fallon pressure zone is the 2470 Fallon Zone 2, which is located between the
2425 Crowson Zone 1 and the 2586 Fallon Zone 1. The 2470 Crowson Zone 2 serves customers in
an elevation range of approximately 2,200 feet to 2,470 feet and is supplied water from the
2586 Fallon Zone 1 by one PRV.
The Alsing service area also consists of only one pressure zone. The 2559 Alsing Zone 1 is located at
the south end of the City between Leonard Street and Tolman Creek Road. The Alsing Reservoir
serves the 2559 Alsing Zone 1,, which is supplied by the Hillview Booster Pump Station. This zone
serves customers within an elevation range of approximately 2,160 feet and 2,.560 feet.
Supp�y I acifties
The City"s primary source of raw water is the Ashland Creek watershed. In 1928., the City
constructed Hosler Dam at the confluence of the West and East Forks of Ashland Creek. Reeder
Reservoir, the resulting impoundment, provides 280 MG of' storage for the City"s water supply.
Water from the reservoir is conveyed to the City"s WTP through a 24-inch diameter raw water
transmission line. Treated water is conveyed to the City in a 30-inch diameter transmission line.
The City also has an agreement with the Talent Irrigation District (TID) to provide additional supply.
The TID supply is typically used only in drought years. When needed., TID water is pumped from the
Ashland Canal by the City"s Terrace Street Pump Station to the WTP, where it is treated.
A third supply is the City"s TAP Intertie. The TAP Supply System delivers treated water from the
Medford Water Commission to the City's TAP BPS. At this location, the water is chlorinated and
boosted to the 2170 Granite Zone 1 through 16-inch piping in Highway 99.
A summary of the City"s sources of supply is shown in Table 2-1.

The City"s WTP is located along Ashland Creek,
approximately 1 mile below Reeder Reservoir. The
WTP has a capacity of approximately 7.5 MGD,
based on the plant"s historical performance and
input from operations staff. Prior to 1948,
screening and chlorination were the only
treatment given to Ashland Creek water. In 1948, a
rapid sand filtration plant was built adjacent to the
power generating facility., utilizing alum as a
coagulant and lime for pH control. The WTP was
converted to a high rate filtration plant in the
mid-1960s.
Ashland Creek WTP
The treatment process now consists of flocculation, filtration, and disinfection. Water flows into
the treatment plant from a combination of three sources: 1) diversion water from the power
generator; 2) direct flows from Ashland Creek; and, 3) flows from the TID intertie. The water flows
through a flash mixing process, then to the flocculation basins. The high rate filtration plant
continues utilizing alum as a coagulant to aid particle agglomeration and soda ash for alkalinity
adjustment and pH control. A chlorine solution is fed immediately ahead of the flocculation tanks.
The chlorine feed is adjusted in response to the water temperature. Following flocculation, the
water flows through the filter beds and then into a 168,000-gallon clear well where the water is
chlorinated and distributed to the system.
Alum, sodium hypochlorite, soda ash, and activated carbon can be mixed with the raw water in the
flash mixing tank as part of the treatment process to aid in the removal of solid particles and other
contaminates. The activated carbon is used only when TO water is included in the system and the
color is high. The activated carbon absorbs the organic material in the raw TID water, which
improves color, taste, and odor.

Mechanical flocculators are installed in the flocculation basins. Sediment from the flocculation
chamber and the filter backwash waste is piped to a sludge lagoon. The six filters contain a dual
media filter material of sand and anthracite coal. These filters remove the remaining particles in
the water before it enters the clear well. Backwash water for the filters is pumped from the clear
well.

Reed&ir-- [.��eservoir
Reeder Reservoir, created by Hosler Dam, is
located approximately one mile upstream of the
WTP at the confluence of the West and East
Forks of Ashland Creek. The reservoir has a
resulting impoundment of 280 MG of storage
for the City's raw water supply. Water from the
reservoir is conveyed to the City's WTP through
a 24-inch diameter raw water transmission line.
-F I D I n Ler Lie/Ash4nd Canal
The City has an agreement with TID to provide
additional supply. The TID supply is typically
used only in drought years. When needed, TO
water is pumped from the Ashland Canal by the
City's Terrace Street Pump Station up to the
WTP, where it is treated with the Ashland
Creek supply. To date, use of the Ashland Canal
at the WTP has been for short periods only and
has been accomplished with the CIty I s current
staffing level. However, in future years, the
Ashland Canal may be used more frequently
and for longer durations.

Reeder Reservoir
Terrace Street Pump Station
A partnership was created in 1997 between the cities of Talent, Ashland, and Phoenix to supply
water to these jurisdictions from the MWC. MWC water is purchased by the partnership and
delivered to Phoenix and Talent via the Regional Booster Pump Station, located north of Phoenix. A
24-inch transmission main conveys water supply from Phoenix to Talent. Supply to Ashland is
conveyed through Talent's distribution system,, then through a 16-inch transmission main and the
TAP BPS to Ashland's 2170 Granite Zone 1.
The TAP BPS was completed in 2016 and is located at 2073 W. Jackson Road near the northwesterly
boundary of the City. The TAP BPS consist of two vertical turbine centrifugal pumps with a nominal
installed capacity of 3.2 MGD (2,250 gpm) and a firm capacity of 2.0 MGD (1,400 gpm). There are

The water main in the City's system is constructed of either asbestos cement, cast iron, ductile iron,
galvanized iron, HDPE, PVC, or steel, with approximately 56 percent of the system constructed of
ductile iron pipe. All new water main installations are required to use ductile iron pipe in
accordance with the City's development and construction standards. Table 2-5 shows the City's

Rresst..Are Reducing and Control Valve Stations
Pressure reducing stations are connections between adjacent pressure zones that allow water to
flow from the higher pressure zone to the lower pressure zone while reducing the pressure of the
water to maintain a safe range of operating pressures in the lower zone. A pressure reducing
station is essentially a below -grade vault (typically concrete) that normally contains two PRVs,
sometimes a pressure relief valve, piping, and other appurtenances. The PRV hydraulically varies
the flow rate through the valve (up to the flow capacity of the valve) to maintain a constant set
pressure on the downstream side of the valve for water flowing into the lower pressure zone.
Pressure reducing stations can serve multiple purposes. First,, they can function as an active supply
facility by maintaining a continuous supply of water into a lower zone that has no other source of
supply. Pressure reducing stations can also function as standby supply facilities that are normally
inactive (no water flowing through them). The operation of this type of station is typically triggered
by a drop in water pressure near the downstream side of the station. A typical application of this
function is a station that is only needed to supply additional water to a lower zone during a fire
flow situation. The pressure setting of the control valve within the station allows it to remain closed
during normal system operation and open only during high -demand conditions, like fire flows, to
provide the additional supply needed.
Pressure relief valves are control valves that are activated by higher than normal pressures and
flow water out of the system to relieve the pressure and protect the system from

overpressurization. Pressure sustaining valves are control valves between adjacent pressure zones
that allow water to flow from the higher pressure zone to the lower pressure zone, provided the
pressure in the higher zone remains above a certain threshold.
Flow control stations allow water to
flow from a higher pressure
zone to a lower pressure zone at a regulated flow rate.
The City's water system has
one pressure relief valve station
and 31 pressure reducing valve
stations, as shown in plan
view in Figure 2-1 and in profile view on Figure 2-2. A list of the control
valve stations and related

3 LAND USE AND POPULA'TION
II iil (� �� �I� I
3 11 ................ AND USE AND
The City of Ashland's Water Master Plan was last updated in 2012. The plan was developed to
satisfy the Oregon Health Division (OHD) water master plan requirements as outlined in Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR) 333-61-060. The OAR requires, among other things., consistency
between land use and utility plans and their implementation. This chapter demonstrates the
compatibility of the City"s WMP with other plans, identifies the designated land uses within the
existing and future service area, and presents population projections within the City"s planning
area.
Cornpatibil"Ity with Other Plans
To ensure that the WMP is consistent with the land use policies that guide it and other related
plans, the following planning documents were examined.
• Oregon Statewide Planning Goals & Guidelines - Goal 14 Urbanization -OAR 660-015-000(14)
• City of Ashland Comprehensive Plan
* Jackson County Comprehensive Plan
OIII egan State'wide Hanning Goa� 14
The State of Oregon's Statewide Planning Goal 14 addresses urbanization, with the goal "To
provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban
population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of the
land, and to provide for livable communities.," As it pertains to water systems,. Goal 14 also states
that "The type, location and phasing of public facilities and services are factors which should be
utilized to direct urban expansion."
BUJ rbar,i &,-owth Bouridary
Goal 14 requires that Jackson County and the City cooperate in designating a UGB adjacent to the
City"s existing corporate limits. The UGB is based on a demonstrated need to accommodate long
range urban population and associated housing, employment opportunities, and other uses. The
current LJGB is shown in Figure 3-1.
Goal 14 requires that the UGB "be adopted by all cities within the boundary and by the county or
counties within which the boundary is located, consistent with intergovernmental agreements."
Consistency with population forecasting and plans for the provision of urban facilities and services
are also required.

CHAPTER 3 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Concurrency means that adequate public facilities and services be provided at the time growth
occurs. For example, growth should not occur where schools, roads, and other public facilities are
overloaded. To achieve this objective, growth should be directed to areas already served or readily
served by public facilities and services. When public facilities and services cannot be maintained at
an acceptable level of service, the new development should be prohibited.
Ci-ty of As�-fland Comprel)ensive Plan
The City's Comprehensive Plan, most recently updated in August 2016, describes the City's vision of
how growth and development should occur over a 20-year horizon. The Comprehensive Plan
considers the general location of land uses., as well as the appropriate intensity and density of land
uses given the current development and economic trends. The public services and transportation
elements ensure that new development will be adequately serviced without compromising
adopted levels of service.
Jacksorl COUnty Comprehensive Nan
The County adopted its first Comprehensive Plan in 1972. Subsequent revisions resulted from the
County's first periodic review approved by the Department of Land Conservation and Development
(DLCD) on April 11., 1994. Since then., further revisions occur as Jackson County continues the
on -going process of inventorying and analyzing data,, reviewing alternative solutions, and
responding to changes in local, regional, and state conditions to ensure that the plans and
regulations remain in compliance with the statewide planning goals and local needs. The current
version of the plan was adopted in 2015.
The County's Comprehensive Plan guides development in both urban and rural, unincorporated
Jackson County and designates land use in the unincorporated UGB. Similar to the City's
Comprehensive Plan, the County's plan contains planning for transportation and public facilities
and services in unincorporated Jackson County.
Land Use
The City limits currently encompass an area of' approximately 4,.240 acres,, or 6.6 square miles. The
City's UGB encompasses approximately 714 acres outside of the current City limits., for a total area
of 4,354 acres,, or 7.7 square miles. The existing retail water service area includes customers within
the City limits as well as some customers outside of City limits., with areas in the UGB requiring
annexation into the City limits for water service to be provided. The City's zoning, shown in
Figure 3-1, guides development within the City. Zoning in the UGB but outside of the City limits is
designated by the County., as shown in Figure 3-1.
Approximately 79.2 percent of' the area within the current City Limits or, Water Service Area is
designated for residential use, as indicated in Chart 3-1. Approximately 16.3 percent is designated

Household I rends
The City's residential areas are comprised largely of single-family residences. The Census Bureau's
2015 American Community Survey (ACS) estimated a total of 10,372 housing units in the City, with
9,446 occupied and 926 vacant. The ACS-estimated average household size for 2015 was 2.10
persons.
Existing and FLALA!,'e City Population
The County has experience rapid population growth and extensive physical developments since
2000. The population of the County increased by approximately 18 percent from 2000 to 2016,
based on Portland State University's Population Research Center (PRC) estimates. In contrast, the
population of the City increased by only approximately 5 percent during the same period. Table 3-1
illustrates the historical population growth since 2000, with years 1995, 2000, and 2005 included
for refence.

Projected future growth for the City limits and unincorporated UB is shown in Table 3-2.
Estimated UB and City limits population projections were provided on 5-year intervals by the PRC.
Projected population for intermediate years was calculated by assuming a uniform population
growth rate between the available PRC estimates for 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, and 2040.
Therefore, the projected 2037 population was calculated by interpolating between the PRC"s 2035
and 2040 estimates.

Because the City requires properties to either annex into the City or experience failure with their
existing private water system before water service is provided (unless unique circumstances exist),
the population inside the City limits is roughly equivalent to the total water system population. For
the purposes of estimating demands, the population projections in Table 3-2 will be used, with the
understanding that the entire UGB is not anticipated to annex in to the City until the end of the
City"s 20-year planning period. The system is expected to provide service to approximately 23,.244
customers by 2037.

IntrodLXtion
A detailed analysis of system demands is crucial to the planning efforts of a water supplier. A
demand analysis first identifies current demands to determine if the existing system can effectively
provide an adequate quantity of water to its customers under the most crucial conditions,, in
accordance with federal and state laws. A future demand analysis identifies projected demands to
determine how much water will be needed to satisfy the water system's future growth and
continue to meet federal and state laws.
The magnitude of water demands is typically based on three main factors: 1) population;
2) weather; and 3) water use classification. Population and weather have the two largest impacts
on water system demands. Population growth has a tendency to increase the annual demand,
whereas high temperatures have a tendency to increase the demand over a short period of time.
Population does not solely determine demand because different user types use varying amounts of
water. The use varies based on the number of users in each customer class, land use density, and
irrigation practices. Water use efficiency efforts also impact demands and can be used to
accommodate a portion of the system's growth without increasing a system's supply capacity.
Demands on the water system determine the size of storage reservoirs,, supply facilities, water
mains, and treatment facilities. Several different types of demands were analyzed and are
addressed in this chapter, including average day demand, maximum day demand, peak hour
demand, fire flow demand, future demands, and a demand reduction forecast based on the Water
Use Efficiency program.

Current Population and Service Connect I ons
Wa L&rUse Oassifications
The City has divided water customers into eight different classes for billing purposes. These classes
are: 1) Single-family; 2) Multi -family; 3) Commercial/Residential.; 4) Commercial; 5) Industrial;
6) Municipal; 7) Governmental; and 8) Irrigation. The demand analysis that follows will report on
the water use patterns of these eight user groups.
Residential Population Served
The population within the City limits was 20,.620 in 2016, based on estimates from the Portland
State University PRC. Chapter 3 contains a more detailed discussion of the City's population and
household trends.
As shown in Table 4-1,, the City provided water service to an average of 8,,796 connections in 2016.
Approximately 7,826 connections (89 percent) were residential or mixed commercial/residential
customers, 593 connections (7 percent) were commercial customers, Ill connections (I percent)
were municipal or governmental customers, and the remaining 265 connections (3 percent) were
irrigation connections. Multiple multi -family residential units (units represent individual

Water consumption is the amount of water used by all customers of the system., as measured by
the customers meters. Table 4-1 shows the historical average number of connections, average
annual consumption, and average daily consumption per connection of each customer class for the
City from 2010 through 2016.
The number of multi -family connections is less than the number of units served since one
connection typically serves several units. Table 4-2 shows the historical approximate total of
multi -family units, and the approximate average daily consumption per multi -family unit within the
City"s water service area from 2010 through 2016. Total multi -family units are based on the ratio
between multi -family units and multi -family connections., current as of June 21, 2017.
As shown in Chart 4-1,, the Single Family class represents approximately 81 percent of all
connections, but only 43 percent of total system consumption,, as shown in Chart 4-2. This is due to
the lower consumption per connection of single-family residential customers as compared to other
customer types. As shown in Table 4-1, single-family residential customers use an average of
approximately 189 gpd per connection, compared to multi -family customers that use an average of
approximately 701 gpd per connection., and commercial customers that use an average of
approximately 642 gpd per connection. Since multiple units are typically served by one multi -family
connection., Table 4-2 includes the average daily consumption per unit for the multi -family class,
which historically has been approximately 90 gpd per unit. The lower consumption of multi -family
customers is expected since the average household size of multi -family units is usually less than the
average household size of single-family units, and multi -family units consume considerably less
water for lawn and garden maintenance. Additionally, the higher consumption of commercial
customers is expected since these customers include the system's highest individual water users.

Residential demand varies throughout the year, typically peaking in the hot summer months. Other
customer types often peak at different times or have different peaking factors because their uses
differ. The demand of single-family residential customers in the City generally peaks in the summer,
as shown in Chart 4-3. Multi -family residential, commercial/residential, and commercial
consumption also typically peak in the summer, as shown in Chart 4-4., Chart 4-5., and Chart 4-6
(note that the scales vary for each chart for clarity). Industrial consumption, shown in Chart 4-7, is
very low during the 2010 to 2016 timeframe, and includes an unexplained peak in September of
2010 that is likely an error or anomaly. Municipal and governmental consumption, shown in
Chart 4-8 and Chart 4-9, do not follow consistent patterns of use from year to year. Irrigation
consumption, shown in Chart 4-10, is close to zero in the winter and peaks during the hot summer

Water supply, or production,, is the total amount of water supplied to the system,, as measured by
the meters at source of supply facilities. Water supply is different than water consumption in that
water supply is the recorded amount of water put into the system and water consumption is the
recorded amount of water taken out of the system. The measured amount of water supply of any
system is typically larger than the measured amount of water consumption, due to non -metered
water use and water loss, which will be described more in the Water Loss section. Table 4-4
summarizes the total amount of water supplied to the system from 2010 through 2018.Production
data for the years 2017 and 2018 were provided in early 2019 during completion of this Plan and
are included herein. In general, the amount of water consumed by the City's customers has grown
slightly from 2010 to 2018. This slight increase can likely be attributed to development and the
small population increase the City has undergone during this time period.

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
As shown in Chart 4-12, water supply increases significantly during summer months, primarily due
to irrigation. The City's highest water use typically occurs in July and August. On average, the
amount of water supplied during these 2 months is approximately 30 percent of the total supply
for the entire year.
Chart 4-13 shows the monthly water supply by source for 2015, a drought year when water was
supplied from all three of the City's supply sources. Typically, water is supplied only from the
Reeder Reservoir, but water is supplemented from TID and the TAP BPS during drought years to
meet demand. Chart 4-14 shows the monthly water supply for 2010, a non -drought year when
water was supplied only from the Reeder Reservoir.
Chart 4-15 shows the annual water supply by source from 2010 to 2016. The years 2013 to 2015
reflect the City's supply data during years where due to drought or other conditions,, TID and the
TAP BPS were used to meet the required water demand.

CHAPTER 4 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Wat..-Ier I oss
The difference between the amount of water supply and the amount of authorized water
consumption is the amount of water loss. There are many sources of water loss in a typical water
system, including water system leaks, inaccurate supply metering, inaccurate customer metering,
illegal water system connections or water use, fire hydrant usage, water main flushing, and
malfunctioning telemetry and control equipment resulting in reservoir overflows. Several of these
types of usages, such as water main flushing and fire hydrant usage, may be considered authorized
uses if they are tracked and estimated. Although real losses from the distribution system, such as
reservoir overflows and leaking water mains, should be tracked for accounting purposes, these
losses must be considered water loss.
A comparison of the Citys water production/supply totals with consumption totals for the years
2012 through 2018 shows that for the year 2012, metered consumption exceeded metered
production. This is likely due to incorrect accounting and results in the calculation of a negative
water loss percentage for this year, as shown in Table 4-5. Data for the years 2010 and 2011 also
appeared incorrect and are not included herein. The City updated its calculation method and
provided updated data for the years 2014 through 2018 as shown in the table. For the last two
years, which likely are more representative of the actual system,, water loss is estimated at 7
percent.

The City intends to continue to reduce the amount of water loss in the system through managing
leaks and by ongoing pipe replacement. The City will also continue to improve the tracking and
reporting of production, consumption, and other authorized water uses (such as hydrant flushing),
including coordination with the fire department.
Per Capita Dernands
Table 4-6 presents the computation of the existing system per capita demand based on 2016 data.
As shown in the upper portion of the table, the total residential population served by the City's

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER DEMANDS
water system in 2016 was approximately 20,620. This population served, and the City's total water
consumption in 2016, were used to arrive at the existing per capita demand of 141 gpd.
Table 4-6
Historical Average Daily Demand
As shown in Table 4-3,, in 2016, the Southern Oregon University and the City of Ashland Water
Department accounted for approximately seven percent of the City's water consumption. Since
these customers are not anticipated to annually increase their consumption in the future, the use
of the existing system per capita demand of 133 gpd would not be accurate for projecting future
demands. Therefore, an additional computation of per capita demand was performed to provide a
more accurate estimate for use in forecasting future water demand. The computation of future per
capita demand shown in Table 4-7 is based on a reduced proportion of demand that is likely to be
more representative of the future type of demand to occur in the City's system. Specifically, the
demands for the City of Ashland Water Department and the Southern Oregon University were
excluded from the total annual consumption, and an adjusted annual consumption was calculated.
The estimated per capita demand of 123 gpd is used later in this chapter to forecast water
demands in future years based on future population estimates.

Table 4-8 shows the average demand of each of the City's 14 existing pressure zones. These data

Equivalent Residential Units
The demand of each customer class can be expressed in terms of ERUs for demand forecasting and
planning purposes. One ERU is equivalent to the amount of water used by a single-family
residence. The number of ERUs, represented by the demand of the other customer classes is
determined from the total demand of' the customer class and the unit demand per ERU from the
single-family residential demand data.
Tables 4-9A, 4-9B, and 4-9C present the computed number of ERUs for each customer class from
2010 through 2016. The demands shown are based on the consumption totals of each customer
class. Because the City revised its accounting methodology and provided updated total
consumption data as shown in Table 4-4, the sum of the consumption data for each customer class
shown in Table 4-9C does not match the total consumption data shown in Table 4-4. This does not
significantly impact the ERU calculation. In years where there were active industrial connections,
their use was minimal and represents less than I ERU for the given year. The average demand per
ERU from 2010 through 2016 (7-year average) was 189 gpd.

CHAPTER 4 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Aver -age Dady Dernand
ADD is the total amount of water delivered to the system in a year divided by the number of days in
the year. The ADD is determined from the historical water use patterns of the system and can be
used to project future demands within the system. ADD data typically are used to determine
standby storage requirements for water systems. Standby storage is the volume of a reservoir used
to provide water supply under emergency conditions when supply facilities are out of service.
Yearly water production records from the City's supply sources and customer water use records
were reviewed to determine the system"s ADD. The system's average day demand from 2010
through 2018 is shown in Table 4-4.
Maximum Day Dernand
IVIDD is the maximum amount of water used throughout the system during a 24-hour time period
of a given year. IVIDD typically occurs on a hot summer day when lawn watering is occurring
throughout much of the system. In accordance with Oregon Department of Human Services design
standards, the distribution system shall provide fire flow at a minimum pressure of 20 psi during
IVIDD (i.e. maximum day demand) conditions. Supply facilities (e.g. wells, springs, pump stations,
interties) are typically designed to supply water at a rate that is equal to or greater than the
system"s MDD.
Because water use restrictions have been in place for 2014 through 2015, 2013 data was used to
determine typical peaking factors for the water system. Fifteen -minute interval water production
and reservoir level records from 2013 were reviewed to determine the system"s IVIDD. The City's
IVIDD occurred on July 26,, 2013, when temperatures reached approximately 100 degrees
Fahrenheit and were in the 90s or over 100 the days before and after. As shown in Table 4-10,, the
demand of the system on July 26,.2013,. or MDD,. was 4.,106 gpm.

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER DEMANDS
PHD is the maximum amount of water used throughout the system, excluding fire flow, during a
one -hour time period of a given year. The PHD,, like the MDD, is typically determined from the
combined flow of water into the system from all supply sources and reservoirs. Five-minute interval
reservoir level and water production records were reviewed to evaluate the PHD. As shown in
Table 4-10,, the City's PHD for 2013 was 9,,784 gpm, which occurred on August 5 th from 6:00 AM to
7:00 AM.
Table 4-10 also shows the peaking factors of the water system based on the ADD., PDD., and the
PHD data.
ow Demand vre
Fire flow demand is the amount of water required during firefighting as defined by applicable
codes. Fire flow requirements are established for individual buildings and expressed in terms of
flow rate (gpm) and flow duration (hours). Fighting fires imposes the greatest demand on the water
system because a high rate of water must be supplied over a short period of time., requiring each
component of the system to be properly sized and configured to operate at its optimal condition.
Adequate storage and supply is useless if the transmission or distribution system cannot deliver
water at the required rate and pressure necessary to extinguish a fire.
General planning -level fire flow requirements were established for the different land use categories
to provide a target level of service for planning and sizing future water facilities in areas that are
not fully developed. The general planning -level fire flow requirement for each land use category is
shown in Table 4-11. The water system analyses presented in Chapter 5 are based on an evaluation
of the water system for providing sufficient fire flow in accordance with these general
planning -level fire flow requirements. The fire flow requirements shown in Table 4-11 do not
necessarily equate to actual existing or future fire flow requirements for all buildings, since this is
typically based on building size, construction type, and fire suppression systems provided.
Improvements to increase the available fire flow to meet actual fire flow requirements greater than
those shown in Table 4-11 shall be the responsibility of the developer.

Table 4-12 presents the projected water demand forecast for the City's water system. The actual
average daily demand data from 2016 also is shown for comparison purposes. The future ADDS
were projected based on population estimates for the given years and the estimated demand per
capita value of 123 gpcd. Historical average demands for SOU and the Ashland Water Department
were added to other customer demands. The 123 gpcd value already assumes any potential water
loss,, so water loss is not added in separately. The MDDs and PHDs shown were computed from the
projected ADDS and the existing system peaking factors shown in Table 4-10 and Chart 4-16. The
future demand projections are shown with and without estimated reductions in water use from

I n t ro d U ctio n
This chapter presents the capacity analysis of the City"s water system. Individual water system
components were analyzed to determine the ability to meet policies and design criteria under
existing and future water demand conditions (presented in Chapter 4). The analyses below cover
supply, storage, pumping, pressure zones, and distribution piping. The policies and criteria are
summarized below for each analysis. Recommendations are discussed in this chapter and captured
in the recommended Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in Chapter 6.
Changes Since Last Water Master Han
Since completion of the City's last Water Master Plan, several improvements have been decided
upon and implemented that influence the system analysis. These include the following:
• Construction of the TAP Emergency Supply System. This new emergency supply provides
MWC water to the City and makes use of the City"s Lost Creek Reservoir water rights
• Construction of the New Park Estates Booster Pump Station. This pump station upgrade
provides a much higher level of' reliability and fire protection for customers at the highest
elevations in the City.
Construction of the New Terrace Street Booster Pump Station. This pump station upgrade
improves the City"s ability to boost TO supply in the Ashland Canal to the WTP and new
WTP.
New Water Treatment Plant Decision on Capacity and Location. The new WTP is planned
to be a 7.5 MGD capacity plant (expandable to 10 MGD). The location of the plant is at the
granite quarry southwest of the Granite Reservoir.
Pipe Improvement Projects. Several pipe improvements have been made related to new
development and improving distribution system capacity.
Gene14 Systern ChaHenges
The following summarizes the overall challenges to the water system. Goals for addressing these
challenges are also listed and the analyses throughout this report reflect these goals.
ChHenge 1: Movhng from a Gravity System -to a Partial Gravity Systern
The majority of' the City"s customers are currently served entirely through a gravity supply system.
With construction of the new WTP, located lower in elevation than the existing plant.,
approximately half of the City"s supply will need to be boosted through a new booster pump
station. The size of this pump station and ongoing pumping costs can be reduced by reducing
demands in the high-pressure zones. This can be accomplished by reducing the use of PRVs that
supply water from higher zones to lower zones and by improving the ability of the lower zones to
serve low elevation customers (see Supply Analysis below for further detail).
Z:\BOTHELL\DATA\COA\1016-096 WMP 2016\03 DELIVERABLES\CHAPTERS 1-4 20180411\2018-WMPCH5 20190611.DOCX (6/19/2019 11:34 AM)

CHAPTER 5 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Goal: Reduce pumping to Crowson Zones:
• Improve Granite Zone transmission capacity;
o Extend piping to serve low elevation customers in Crowson Zone 6;
• Reduce/eliminate PRVs supplying from Crowson or Alsing Zones to Granite Zones.
Cha��H�&nge 21: Granite Reservoir is Aghrig and in a Poor Location
The Granite Reservoir is in poor condition and requires major improvements to remain functional
and safe. In addition, the reservoir is located in Ashland Creek, which places the reservoir at risk of
flood damage and ongoing deterioration. With construction of one or two new clearwells at the
new WTP site,, the storage volume requirements for the Granite Zones are replaced so that the City
could take this reservoir offline. However,, the reservoir at its current location is important to the
operation of the TAP Emergency Supply into Granite Zone 1. See Storage Analysis below for further
details.
Goal: Abandon the existing Granite Reservoir without compromising system hydraulics:
0 Confirm ability of TAP system to function without a terminal reservoir;
0 Confirm if WTP clearwells can replace the Granite tank functionality;
0 Consider a new Granite Zone Reservoir.
ChAenge 3: Oversized Alsing Reservoir
For many years the City has dealt with water quality challenges in the Allsing Reservoir, which is
oversized for the current service area that it serves. The low demands on the reservoir result in
poor water turnover and lead to water quality issues. The City has adjusted the Hillview Pump
Station setpoints to temporarily alleviate the water quality issue by keeping the reservoir partially
full. However, this is not a long-term solution and the City's total stored volume is less than it could
be to support an emergency. See Storage Analysis below for further details.
Goal: Expand Alsing Reservoir service area to achieve reservoir turnover.
Ch- Fire eficiencies at Highest Customers (Park Estates aond South Mountain)
Despite construction of the new Park Estates BPS,, the water system cannot provide the anticipated
fire flows of 2,,000 gpm to hydrants in the boosted pressure zone (Crowson Zone 8). This is because
the 8-inch pipes serving the area are undersized for this amount of flow. Additionally, high
elevation customers at the top of South Mountain Street have very low pressures during fire flows
and could be better served by the boosted zone (currently served by Crowson Zone 1).
Goal: Increase pipe sizes upstream of the Park Estates BPS.-
• Expand Crowson Zone 8 to connect to Crowson Zone 4;
• Reconnect piping for high Crowson Zone 1 customers to Crowson Zone 4.

a way to boost water to meet the demands of all customers, including those in the higher pressure
zones. See Pump Station Analysis for further details.
Goal: Identify the location for permanent pump station.
Because the City has a location for a temporary pump to boost water from the Granite Zone
to the Crowson Zone., this project could be delayed as needed.
ChaHenge 6: Pressure Extremes hri Mwiy I ... o c at i o ori s
Due to the large variation in elevations within each pressure zone., the water system has many
locations of low and very high pressures. See Pressure Zone Analysis below for further details.
('.,'.'hal&nge'7-. Inability to Meet Higher Fire low Staorldards
Many neighborhoods in the water system were originally built for lower fire flow rates; such as
those with 4-inch diameter pipes. These areas are unable to meet the City"s updated criteria to
provide 1,500 gpm in residential areas and 4,,000 gprn for non-residential customers. See Fire Flow
Analysis below for further details.
Goal: Build in distribution capacity, concurrent with road improvement projects to reduce costs.
U-iaHenge 8: PotentU Storage Deficiency
Storage volume evaluations in the past have identified storage deficiencies in the Crowson and
Granite Zones. However, these deficiencies are highly dependent on the emergency scenario for
which the City is planning. See Storage Analysis below for further details.
Goal: Revise criteria to account for new redundant', reliable supply sourcel

U-iaknge 9: any Aging, Undersized I "pes

Each supply level of service goal is evaluated for the City"s water system as follows.
Wa-Ler Sys L&m Capacity
The planned capacity of the new WTP is more than adequate to supply the projected 2040
Maximum Day Demands (MDD) and beyond (Figure 5-1); thus,, the City amply meets the water
system capacity level of service goal.
Wal-.-,er Systei-n ReHabHity
During water supply disruption or drought conditions the City"s supply strategy is as follows in
order of priority:
1. Supply East/West Fork Ashland Creek water as available to the new WTP (stored in Reeder
Reservoir and soon to be able to bypass Reeder Reservoir).
2. Supplement Ashland Creek water with TID water to the new WTP.
3. Use the TAP Supply System to supply water from MWC.
4. Curtail supply according to the City's Water Curtailment Plan.

Water Systern Redundancy
With construction of the TAP Supply System, the City meets the first part of the water system
redundancy level of service goal. However, neither the firm nor total capacity of the TAP BPS is able
to meet ADD without conservation in the case of'a WTP outage (see Figure 5-2). Figure 5-2
presents the projected ADD with and without the planned conservation goals as presented in
Chapter 2. To meet the water system redundancy goal, the City plans to expand the TAP
Emergency Supply system to a firm capacity of'3.0 MGD (firm capacity is the total capacity with the
largest. This capacity exceeds the projected ADD with conservation and is slightly less than ADD
without conservation.
Expansion of the TAP supply system entails adding an additional pump in the TAP Pump Station,,
adding a backup generator that is able to power the firm capacity of 3.0 MGD of supply., pipeline
transmission improvements., and likely other improvements in the TAP Emergency Supply system
upstream of the City's TAP Pump Station. Expansion of the TAP Regional Booster Pump Station and
Talent Booster Pump Station will be evaluated in the TAP Water Master Plan to be completed in
the next year with the Cities of Phoenix and Talent. These recommended projects to meet the
supply redundancy level of service goal are included in Chapter 6.

The City is meeting all regulatory requirements including those for cross -connection control.
However, City staff think it would be prudent to implement the cross -connection control program
more aggressively; this is discussed further in the City's 2019 Operations and Maintenance Plan.
New W I I Integration with Existing Systern
Integration of the new WTP into the City's existing system was evaluated as part of this WMP.
Assumptions for the location and assumed infrastructure are based on the recommendations in
Ashland Water Treatment Plant Technologies Alternatives Report (HDR, March 20,2019) (Report).
The storage components of the new WTP currently include two 0-85-MG clearwells. To save
upfront costs, the City is planning to only construct one clearwell at first, and then implement the
second as budget allows. Combined, the 1.7-MG capacity of the two clearwells replaces the storage
requirements supplied by the Granite Reservoir (see Storage Analysis below). After reviewing
alternatives with City staff, it is recommended that the City not construct a second clearwell at the
new WTP, but instead construct a new Granite Zone Reservoir elsewhere in the system.
As discussed in General System Challenges above, the site of the new WTP is at an elevation that
results in approximately half of the City's demands located higher than the new WTP, and half
located below the new WTP (Figure 5-3).
Supply to the zones above the WTP require water to be boosted to these customers with a new
"WTP to Crowson" Booster Pump Station. This pump station is planned to be constructed with the
new WTP. Assuming an elevation of the new pump station of 2255 ft (as provided in the Report),
5-6 Z:\130THELL\DATA\C0A\1016-096 WMP 2016\03 DE LIVE RABLES\CHAPTERS 1-4 20180411\2018-WMPCH5 20190611.DOCX (6/19/2019 11:34 AM)
CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
the pump station static head should be approximately 170 ft to meet Crowson Reservoir overflow
elevation (2425 ft). A total head of 200 feet was assumed for hydraulic modeling. The capacity of
the new pump station depends on continued reliance of the PRVs from the Crowson Zones to the
Granite Zones.
Based on discussions with City staff and the output of the City's hydraulic model, the City"s current
water system operates to supplement the Granite Zone 1 demands through several PRVs coming
from the Crowson Zone. As seen in Figure 5-3,, these are PRVs 8, 9,, 14, 15, 16, 18, and 20. During
PHD, the supply through these PRVs can be as much as 1,.400 gpm according to the hydraulic
model. This indicates that the Granite Zone is relying on the Crowson Reservoir to provide PHD,
which should ideally come from the Granite Reservoir where peak hour demands for the zone are
stored. To minimize the size and ongoing pumping costs of the WTP to Crowson pump station, the
City could implement changes to reduce the water that drains from the Crowson Zones to zones
that can be supplied by gravity from the new WTP.
To reduce water draining through the Crowson to Granite PRVs,, the Granite Zone 1 piping requires
better transmission capacity in order to maintain the hydraulic grade across the zone and thereby
use the PRVs less often. The City's hydraulic model was used to simulate pipe size changes to
achieve this result.
Granite Street Pipe and Va�vh�-ig
The first pipe identified for improvement is the main transmission supply pipe in Granite Street that
supplies water from the Granite Reservoir to the Granite Zone customers. The existing Granite
Street pipe is a combination of old 12-inch,. 14-inch,, and newer 16-inch steel pipe. The model
predicts a significant drop in the hydraulic grade in this pipe during PHD. By increasing the size of
this pipe, the hydraulic grade in the zone is maintained much closer to the 2170 ft gradient
provided by Granite Reservoir (when full).
The following options are recommended dependent on how the Granite Reservoir is addressed: I
• As long as the Granite Reservoir remains in its current location, or if the City abandons the
Granite Reservoir and constructs two clearwells at the new WTP to serve the Granite Zone:
*i
L The Granite Street pipe is recommended to be a 24-inch diameter pipe from Granite
Reservoir to Strawberry Lane to provide PHD to the Granite Zones.
o The existing 16-inch (Granite Zone 1) and 24-inch (Crowson Zone 1) pipes in Granite
Street should be reconnected in Strawberry Lane and Nutley Street to allow the 24-inch
• If the Granite Reservoir is abandoned and a new Granite Reservoir is constructed elsewhere
in Granite Zone 1:
• The Granite Street pipe is recommended to be a 16-inch diameter pipe from the current
Granite Reservoir site to Nutley Street to provide IVIDD to the Granite Zones.
• A new flow control valve would be required along the pipe to provide maximum day
demands to the Granite Zones.

CHAPTER 5 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
o Piping from the new WTP to the current Granite Reservoir location is recommended to
be replaced with a 16-inch diameter pipe and located in Granite Street. This replaces an
aging steel pipe, improves reliability of a major transmission line, abandons two aging
creek crossings, and improves the hydraulic grade of the zone.
arc &nic Drive and Nutley Street Pipe
To reduce reliance on PRVs 8 and 9 on the west side of the Granite Zone., the pipes in Nutley Street
(from Granite Street to Scenic Drive) and Scenic Drive (from Nutley Street to Wimer Street) are
recommended for increasing in size to a 12-inch pipe. These projects replace aging 4- and 6-inch
pipes in these streets and greatly improve transmission of gravity supplied water. This project is
included in Chapter 6.
Crows&n Zones 2. and 6 Rezoning
An additional long-term recommendation for reducing the pumping capacity required of the WTP
to Crowson BPS is to rezone low elevation customers on the far northeast end of the City's system
in Crowson Zones 2 and 6. Customers south of Ashland Street and between Clay Street and Tolman
Creek Road, as well as customers in the vicinity of the Ashland Municipal Airport could all be served
by Granite Zone 1 with more than adequate pressure. This will require extending the Granite
Zone 1 piping to connect these areas; much of' which is anticipated to be required as new
development occurs along East Main Street. This recommendation is described further in the
Pressure Zone Analysis discussed below.
-i a ry New W_F1 �ntegration Recommendation Sumn
Until the City can fund the above transmission projects,, it is recommended that the City plan for
the WTP to Crowson Booster Pump Station to have adequate capacity to meet the demands of the
Crowson and Alsing Zones and provide adequate supply to the Crowson to Granite Zone PRVs
under current demands. This capacity equates to approximately 3,,200 gpm (see Pump Station
Analysis below). (if and when the City is able to reduce all supply through the PRVs,, this capacity
could be reduced to approximately 1,,650 gpm.)
It is also recommended that the City reduce the pressure settings in the Crowson to Granite PRVs
once the new WTP is constructed, according to Table 5-2 below.
A second 0.85-MG clearwell is not recommended at this time,, but a new 0-85-MG Granite Zone
Reservoir is recommended instead — see Storage Analysis below. The Granite Street and
Nutley/Scenic Drive pipe improvements are included in the recommended capital improvement
plan (CIP), presented in Chapter 6. Due to the decision to construct a new Granite Zone Reservoir
elsewhere in Granite Zone 1,. the Granite Street pipe is recommended to be a 16-inch pipe from the
WTP to Strawberry Lane. Future rezoning of Crowson Zones 2 and 6 is also included in the CIP in
Chapter 6.

Supply Recornmendations
The following summarizes the recommended supply improvements:
• Construct new WTP and associated projects-,
• 7.5-MGD WTP (expandable to 10.0 IVIGD);
• One (1) 0.85-MG clearwell for storage;
• Pump station to boost water from the new WTP to the Crowson Reservoir;
• 16-inch Granite Street Piping from the new WTP to piping that supplies Granite
Reservoir (required until Granite Reservoir is abandoned);
• Emergency Ashland Creek intake;
• SCADA system upgrades.
• Expand the TAP Supply System to 3.0 IVIGD:
• Additional pump at Ashland TAP BPS to achieve firm capacity of 3.0 MGD;
• Emergency Back-up Generator at Ashland TAP BPS;
• Expansion of the Talent TAP BPS;
• Potential expansion of the Regional TAP BPS;
• TAP System Transmission Capacity Improvements.
• Install transmission piping improvements and rezoning to minimize pumping to Crowson
Zone 1:
• Reduce PRV settings as shown in Table 5-2;
• 16-Inch piping in Granite Street from Granite Reservoir to Nutley Street;
• 12-inch piping in Scenic Drive and Nutley Street;
• Rezone portions of Crowson Zones 2 and 6 to be supplied by Granite Zone 1.

CHAPTER 5 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Storage [`����bcilities
This section evaluates the capacity of the City's existing water storage tanks to meet the existing
and future storage requirements of the system.
Storage Criteria
Water storage is typically made up of the following components: operational storage, emergency
storage, and fire flow storage. Each storage component serves a different purpose and will vary
from system to system. A definition of each storage component and the criteria used to evaluate
the capacity of the City"s storage tanks is provided below and summarized in Table 5-3.
01,,)eratioria� Storage — Volume of the reservoir used to supply the water system under peak demand
conditions when the system demand exceeds the total rate of supply of the sources. In the past,
the City has calculated operational storage as 25 percent of MDD for the zone it serves. Another
criterion is to calculate the volume needed to meet RHD that supplies to the zone are unable to
meet. Also called "Equalization Storage."
J! mergency Storage — Volume of the reservoir used to supply the water system under emergency
conditions when supply facilities are out of service due to equipment failures, power outages, loss
of supply, transmission main breaks, and any other situation that disrupts the supply source.
Common emergency criteria in the state of' Oregon is to assume emergency storage as two times
ADD (approximately equivalent to one times MDD). The City"s previous criteria assumed 25 percent
of MDD for emergency storage. This lower criteria correlates to the City constructing a new reliable
WTP.
1,,,,:ire J����ow Sl..00rage — Volume of the reservoir used to supply water to the system at the maximum
rate and duration required to extinguish a fire at the building with the highest fire flow
requirement in the zone. The magnitude of the fire flow storage is the product of the fire flow rate
and duration of the operating area's highest fire flow needs. These fire flow planning goals were
presented in Chapter 4.
Nes-t-Jng of Storage — Some water systems allow for "nesting" of fire flow and emergency storage,
meaning that it is assumed that a fire and a supply disruption would not happen at the same time
and therefore only the greater of the two storage volumes is used in the storage analysis.

Storage Ana�ysis
The total combined storage capacity of the City"s reservoirs is 6.7 million gallons. The City"s original
criteria for storage requirements for operational, emergency, and fire flow are compared to the
existing storage to determine storage adequacy for the planning periods, as summarized in
Table 5-4. The table includes the storage surplus deficiency. As seen at the end of the table, under
the City"s original criteria,, the City would have an existing storage deficit of 0.37 MG and a 2040
deficit of 1.34 MG given all current storage facilities.

It is recommended that the City revise its storage criteria to account for the planned and
implemented system changes in the last few years. With a new emergency TAP supply connection
and an upcoming robust WTP, it is recommended that the City's criteria be adjusted to reduce
emergency storage. Using the second option for emergency storage noted in Table 5-3, where
emergency storage volume is discounted by the capacity of redundant supply, the City would be
revising its storage criteria to plan for an emergency in which the new WTP is offline and the TAP
supply is online. This particular emergency is consistent with the City's supply analysis goals
evaluated in this chapter.
Additionally, several studies have identified options to expand the Alsing Reservoir service area
thereby shifting the storage burden from the Crowson Reservoir to the Alsing Reservoir which has
excess capacity and needs additional demands to improve water quality. This system change was
reviewed again as part of this WIMP and is further described in Alsing Reservoir Service Area
Expansion below.
Lastly, the City is actively promoting water conservation and the estimated reduction in overall
demands should be considered.
Table 5-5 presents the revised storage analysis using the adjusted criteria, the expanded Alsing
Reservoir service area, and reduced demands reflecting the City's conservation goals shown in
Chapter 4.

Granite Reservoir is in major need of replacement or removal. A recent estimate for improvements
was $560,000, but even this investment would not improve the reservoir to current day seismic
standards. In discussions with City staff, it is recommended that the Granite Reservoir be eventually
abandoned,, and a new Granite Zone Reservoir constructed elsewhere in the system. This
recommendation is largely due to the importance of the reservoir to the operation of the TAP
supply system into Granite Zone 1.
The recommended location of a new Granite Zone Reservoir is in the northwest of the City above
Schofield Street and Dakota Way and in the vicinity of Ashland Mine Road. It is recommended that
the City pursue purchasing property in this area. This location is ideal for the TAP supply discharge
and could take advantage of new piping required for serving new development in this area. An
0.85-MG Reservoir with an overflow of'2170 ft was assumed in all future hydraulic modeling. The
CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
Nshng Reservoir Service Area Expansion
The City has evaluated options for expanding the Alsing Reservoir Service Area over many years.
These recommendations were re-evaluated herein. To improve water quality in the Alsing
Reservoir, it is recommended that the service area be expanded to serve customers south of
Siskiyou Boulevard and all of Crowson Zones 2 and 6. Figure 5-4 shows the recommended Alsing
Reservoir Service Area Expansion with required infrastructure and recommended valve closures.
Specific locations of valve reconnections should be confirmed with City staff. As seen in the
Figure 5-4, the recommendation includes one new PRV station., pipe improvements, and several
valve operational changes. These recommendations are described as follows-,
• Tolman Creek Road/Siskiyou Boulevard PRV —This PRV station serves to maintain pressures in
the Alsing Zones in the upper Tolman Creek Road area, while allowing the Alsing Reservoir
water to drain to portions of Crowson Zone 1, which connects to Crowson Zones 2 and 6. In th
hydraulic model., the proposed Tolman Creek Road PRV was set to 60 resulting in a
hydraulic grade line of 2270 ft (just slightly less than Crowson Zone 6 at 2290 ft). I
• Tolman Creek Road Pipe —To supply the commercial fire flows (4,000 gpm) in the Crowson
Zones 2 and 6, the piping in Tolman Creek Road above the new PRV is recommended for
upsizing to a 12-inch pipe.
• Valve Modifications The Alsing expansion recommendation takes advantage of existing
parallel pipes in Siskiyou Boulevard while keeping the south pipe for Crowson Zone 1 and the
north pipe used for the expanded Crowson Zone 6. To do this, the following valve modifications
are recommended:
o Open valves in Tolman Creek Road and Jacquelyn Street isolating Crowson 1 from Crowson
6 as shown in Figure 5-4;
I
Close valves along Siskiyou Blvd to isolate the expanded Crowson Zone 6 from Crowson
Zone 1 as shown in Figure 5-4;
• PRVs 17 and 19 are still assumed active PRVs to Crowson Zones 5/la
By implementing the above changes, the Crowson Zone 6 is adjusted to include all pipes shown as
blue lines in Figure 5-4. Rezoning the northern section of Crowson Zone 6 and the airport area in
Crowson Zone 2 is also recommended (see Pressure Zone Analysis below) but is not required as
part of the Alsing zone expansion.
S torage Recon-imendations SurnrT-iary
The following summarizes the recommended supply improvements:
• Revise storage criteria to account for redundant system supplies.
• Expand the Alsing Reservoir Service Area as recommended.
• Construct one 0.85-MG clearwell at the New WTP to serve the Granite and Crowson Zones.
o As long as PRVs from Crowson to Granite are set to provide fire protection pressures,
fire volume for Granite can be stored in the Crowson Reservoir.

Pt..Arnp Station Ana�ysis
Table 5-8 presents the required pumping capacity for each pump station considering the demands
in its service area. Table 5-9 compares the required pumping capacities to the firm capacity of the
existing pump stations to identify any deficiencies. The results for each pump station are described
below.
�New W I I to Crowsori BPS
The 2020 required capacity of the new WTP to Crowson BPS is estimated to 3.,200 gpm to meet
current day demands of the Crowson, Alsing, and Fallon Zones and approximately 1.,400 gpm of
demand estimated through the Crowson to Granite PRVs. This capacity could increase to as much
as 4,219 gpm by 2040 (the model predicts increased supply through the Crowson to Granite PRVs
as overall system demands increase). Depending on if and when the City is able to reduce the need
for the Crowson to Granite PRVs, and if the City rezones lower portions of Crowson Zones 2 and 6

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
to be served by the Granite Zone (discussed in Pressure Zone Analysis below), the pump station's
2040 capacity could be reduced from 4,219 gpm to 1,624 gpm.
To be conservative and to reflect that the City may be unable to modify the use of the Crowson to
Granite PRVs for many years,, it is recommended that the New WTP to Crowson BPS be sized for the
ability to meet 2030 demands and a reduced Crowson to Granite PRV supply that reflects the
adjusted PRV settings noted in Table 5-2. This capacity equates to approximately 3,,200 gpm (which
is similar to the 2020 required capacity with no system changes). It is also recommended that the
pump station be designed to have a reduced future capacity of approximately 1.,650 gpm to reflect
future rezoning and the reduction in use of the PRVs.
Mll�!MIW
The Hillview Pump Station is aging (almost 40 years old) and warrants replacement in the next lo
years. As seen in Table 5-8,. the Hillview Pump Station capacity requirements greatly increase (from
89 gpm to 859 gpm) with the recommended Alsing Reservoir Service Area Expansion. The existing
pump station meets the City"s criteria through 2040 without expansion of the zone but will be
deficient in meeting MDD if the Alsing Reservoir Service Area expands as seen in Table 5-9. With
the planned expansion (recommended in the next ten years), the pump station capacity should be
sized to provide approximately 860 gpm of MDD to the Alsing Reservoir. When the City rezones
portions of Crowson Zones 2 and 6 (assumed to be beyond ten years), the pump station required
capacity is estimated to be 677 gpm.
South Miouo�itain BPS
The South Mountain BPS is aging and does not currently meet the City"s criteria for providing fire
flow to its customers in Crowson Zone 4. Part of planning for the Park Estates BPS included
extending piping from Crowson Zone 8 to supply Crowson Zone 4, thereby allowing the City to
abandon this pump station. The City is currently in the design process of constructing a pipe
connecting Morton Street piping to Ivy Lane piping. This pipe is included in the CIP and this pump
station is recommended for abandonment in the short-term.
Both the Park Estates and Strawberry BPS meet the City"s capacity criteria through 2040, and both
have backup generators. No modifications, are recommended for these pump stations.

New Granite -to W'"TP BS
To address the need for the emergency TAP supply to be boosted to the City's highest pressure
zones during a WTP outage., a new pump station is needed to boost water from Granite Zone 1 to
the clearwell at new WTP. This pump station is herein called the "Granite to WTP BPS". The new
WTP to Crowson BPS could then boost water to the Crowson Reservoir that serves all of the highest
pressure zones. An ideal location for the pump station would be in the Granite Street pipe and in
parallel with a new flow control valve from the WTP to the Granite Zone.
The Granite to WTP BPS requires a static head of 95 ft (assuming a clearwell overflow elevation of
21255 ft and a Granite Zone 1 hydraulic grade of 2,160 ft). Capacity of the pump station should
meet the projected ADD of' the Crowson, Alsing, and Fallon Zones; this is estimated at 1,.000 gpm.
This project is included in the CIP in Chapter 6.
I )uarm p Station Recommendations
The new WTP to Crowson BPS should have a firm capacity of approximately 3,200 gpm to
supply the Crowson and Alsing Zones. The pump station should be designed for a future
reduced capacity of approximately 650 gpm.
Replace the Hillview BPS to bring this pump station to current design standards and mee
demand requirements of the Alsing Reservoir Service Area expansion. I
1111liq I iiiii�
• Abandon the South Mountain BPS concurrent with pipe installation that connects Crowson
Zones 4 and 8.
• Install the Granite to WTP BPS as part of a flow control and pumping structure in Granite
Street.

Pressure Zone Criteria
The ideal static pressure of water supplied to customers is between 40 and 80 psi. Pressures within
a water distribution system are commonly as high as 120 psi,, requiring pressure regulators on
individual service lines to reduce the pressure to 80 psi or less. It is difficult for the City's water
system (and most others) to maintain distribution pressures between 40 and 80 psi., primarily due
to the topography of the water service area.
The City has adopted the following service pressure criteria, which are consistent with industry
standards:
* Minimum Pressure (during Peak Hour Demand): 30 psi
0 Minimum Pressure (during Fire Flow): 20 psi
0 Maximum Pressure: 120 psi
Pressure Zone Ana�ysis
Table 5-10 lists each of the City's pressure zones, the highest and lowest elevation served in each
zone, and the minimum and maximum distribution system pressures within each zone based on
maximum static water conditions (full reservoirs with no demand). While this table presents the
results of the pressure evaluations based on the adequacy of the pressure zones under static
conditions, the hydraulic analysis section later in this chapter presents the results of the pressure
evaluations based on the adequacy of the water mains under dynamic conditions.
As seen in the table, many pressure zones exceed the maximum pressure to customers. This is due
to the complex topography and pipe networking within the City.

CHAPTER 5 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
ICI -imission System and I ra n s
This section evaluates the City's existing distribution and transmission system (i.e., water mains) to
determine if they are adequately sized and looped to provide the necessary flow rates and
pressures to meet the existing and future requirements of the system.
Dist...-Tiloution Systern Ar4ysis Criteria
Distribution and transmission mains must be capable of adequately and reliably conveying water
throughout the system at acceptable flow rates and pressures. Hydraulic analyses of the existing
system were performed under PHD conditions to evaluate its pressure capabilities and identify
system deficiencies. The existing system was also analyzed under MDD conditions with fire flow
demands to evaluate the fire flow capabilities. Additional hydraulic analyses were then performed
with the same hydraulic model under future PHD and MDD conditions and with the proposed
improvements to demonstrate that the identified improvements will eliminate the deficiencies and
meet the requirements far into the future. The following is a description of the hydraulic model,
the operational conditions, and facility settings used in the analyses.
As discussed in the Pressure Zone Analysis section of this chapter, ideal water pressures delivered
to customers are in the range of 40 to 80 psi, and the City's criteria is to deliver pressures between
30 and 120 psi.
Hydraulic Model
A computer -based hydraulic model of the existing water system was updated to version 8i of the
WaterGEMSO program (developed by Bentley Systems,, Inc.) with the City's most recent GIS
shapefile, to reflect the best-known information on distribution system geometry and pipe
characteristics, including diameter, material, and installation year. This was further refined to
include the latest construction projects and changes to the system.
Hydraulic model pipe roughness coefficients were initialized with computed estimates based on
the water main material and age information from the City's water main GIS shapefile. used on
the premise that the internal surface of water mains becomes rougher with age, older water mains
were assigned higher roughness coefficients than newer water mains.
The hydraulic model of the existing system contains demands based on 2014 individual customer
meter water demand data provided by the City. Demand data for each parcel was distributed to
the closest representative junction node of the model based on the recorded usage. These
demands were increased to represent 2020 demands. The peaking factors shown in Chapter 4
were used to analyze the system under PHD and MDD conditions.
5-24 Z:\BOTHELL\DATA\COA\1016-096 WMP 2016\03 DELIVERABLES\CHAPTERS 1-4 20180411\2018-WMPCH5 20190611.DOCX (6/19/2019 11:34 AM)
CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN WATER SYSTEM ANALYSIS
The hydraulic model of the existing system contains all active existing system facilities. The facility
settings for the pressure analyses corresponded to a PHD event in the water system. All sources of
supply were set to operate at constant rates (i.e. MIDID). Reservoir levels were modeled to reflect
full utilization of operational storage.
The hydraulic model for the fire flow analyses contained settings that correspond to MIDID events.
All sources of supply were set to operate at constant MIDID rates, and the reservoir levels were
modeled to reflect full utilization of operational, emergency, and fire flow storage based on the
maximum planning -level fire flow requirement.
The model was calibrated as part of this WMP. Calibration is achieved by adjusting the roughness
coefficients of the water mains in the model so the resulting pressures and flows from the
hydraulic analyses closely match the pressures and flows from actual field tests under similar
demand and operating conditions. Initial Darcy-Weisbach roughness coefficients were entered in
the model based on computed estimates of the coefficients from available pipe age and material
data. For example, older water mains were assigned higher roughness coefficients than new water
mains; thereby assuming that the internal surface of water pipe becomes rougher as it gets older.
The model was calibrated using 25 hydrant flow tests performed in the system in the spring of
2016. The model is considered calibrated when model results are within 10 percent of the field
results. After identifying a few closed/partially closed valves in the system and adjusting roughness
coefficients, the modeled results closely match (within 10 percent) the field results for all 25 tests;
therefore, the model is considered adequately calibrated for use in the following system analyses.
Hydraulic Analysis
Pressure and fire flow analysis of the existing system were performed using the model for 2020,
2030, and 2040.
F1 r e cS Is t ire Ana��ysis
Figure 5-5 presents a map of system pressures color coded by pressure range during PHID. As seen
in the map, low pressures exist at several high elevation customers. City staff indicate that some
customers at high elevations have their own booster pump stations to achieve water pressure.
Additionally, the model predicts many locations of high pressures exceeding 120 psi at low
elevation customers. The recommendations described above in Pressure Zone Analysis should
alleviate several of' these high-pressure areas.
i re I ���ow Ana�ysis
Fire flow demands were assigned to the water system based on land use and the City"s fire criteria
presented in Chapter 4 and are shown in Figure 5-6. Maps of fire flow results are shown in
Figure 5-7. The maps are color coded to show if each junction in the system satisfies, does not
satisfy, or is within 10 percent of delivering assigned fire flows (10 percent is within the error of the
model).

CHAPTER 5
CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
The map shows many deficiencies in meeting the City's fire flow criteria. This is due to a few
factors:
• High elevation customers within a zone are unable to maintain 20 psi during a fire flow
elsewhere in the zone. This can be solved by rezoning high elevation customers.
• Many pipes were built before more stringent fire codes were adopted. Fire districts
commonly classify buildings in these areas as "existing non -conforming," and since they met
previous fire code requirements when they were constructed, improvements to these areas
are considered a low priority. Resolving these deficiencies will require implementing larger
diameter pipes over time as budget allows.
The modeling predicts several locations where the available fire flow is below 750 gpm., which has
been used in the past by other water utilities as a minimum fire flow for residential areas. Pipe
improvements to address fire flows that were significantly below the City"s new fire flow criteria
were prioritized in the recommendations presented in Chapter 6.
It is important to note that this Water Master Plan predicts several more deficiencies than the
previous WMP because fire flows were assigned at every hydrant in the system, whereas they were
previously only assigned in some locations.
DistributJon Systern Recornmendations
Recommended pipe improvements to address the pressure and fire flow deficiencies are presented
in Chapter 6 (Table 6-3). The general recommendations are as follows:
• Implement recommendations as described in the Pressure Zone Recommendations section.
• Upsize local pipes from 4- and 6-inch pipes to 8-inch pipes and larger.
• Increase transmission capacity in the 2170 Granite Zone 1.
o Replace the upper section of 2170 Granite Zone 1 transmission main (from new WTP to
connection to Strawberry Lane).
o Extend transmission capacity of 2170 Granite Zone 1 in East Main Street to serve low
elevation customers and new growth to the east of the system.
o Other Granite Zone transmission improvements.
Other recommendations include the following-,
• Set PRVs from Crowson and Alsing Zones to Granite Zones to only supply fire flow.
• To reduce reliance on PRV 20 (Siskiyou Blvd and Normal Ave), which appears to provide
needed supply to the zone during fire flows according to the City"s model., extending Granite
Zone piping in East Main Street from Siskiyou Blvd to Walker Road is recommended.
Additionally., increasing the transmission pipe in Siskiyou Blvd from 8-inch to 12-inch is
recommended to improve fire flow to SOU and apartment complexes in the Wightman and
Iowa Street areas.

01111111111111 elemetry and Supervisory Control System
This section evaluates the City"s existing telemetry and supervisory control system to identify
deficiencies related to its condition and current operational capability.
Evaluat,ion and Recommendations
The City"s SCADA system is headquartered at the WTP. System facilities, including source, storage,
and pumping, can be controlled with the telemetry system. At the WTP and on remote computers,
City staff can monitor and control supplies., reservoir levels, and pump station flows. The system
communicates to all facilities using radio towers. SCADA system hardware and software require
regular maintenance and occasional replacement.
There are no significant deficiencies with the existing telemetry/SCADA system; however, some
minor changes would improve operations and management. As part of the new WTP updates, the
City is reviewing alternatives to the current SCADA software system, which requires several
third -party applications to achieve the functionality desired by City staff. As a result, the City may
be required to replace the radio towers throughout the system. Further details are discussed in
Chapter 6.

This chapter presents the recommended Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for meeting the City's
level of service goals of continuing to provide safe, reliable water to current and future customers.
The improvements described below were developed from the system analysis described in
Chapter 5, as well as interviews with City staff, to address current and future water demand
conditions and to sustain system reliability. It is important to note that this plan represents the
latest decision -making given current conditions and may likely change in the future as conditions
change.
The capital improvement projects are categorized as follows:
• Supply Improvements
• Storage Improvements
• Pump Station Improvements
• Pipe Improvements
• Operational Improvements
• Recommended Studies
A summary of the City CIP is developed and presented in Table 6-2. This summary provides total
probable costs., a brief description,, and prioritizes each capital improvement based on
recommended year of implementation. Project priorities should be considered flexible in order to
accommodate concurrent construction during other street opening projects, budgetary constraints,,
specific development projects, and other factors that may affect project implementation.
The following sections include the basis for the cost estimates,. a brief description of each
improvement, and the recommended prioritization and schedule for implementation.
Cost Estimate
Planning level cost estimates were prepared for the recommended projects following the American
Association of Cost Estimators (AACE) Class 5 estimates, which assume 0 to 2 percent of project
definition as appropriate for master planning. This level of opinions of cost are assumed to be
within the range of plus 50 percent to minus 30 percent of the average of contractors" bids. The
estimated costs of the facilities should be expected to change along with the accuracy of the
estimate as a project proceeds into preliminary and final design. These opinions of probable cost
are based on year 2019 dollars and no allowance has been made for inflation in future years.
Since construction costs change periodically, an indexing method to adjust present estimates in the
future is useful. The Engineering News Record (ENR) Construction Cost Index (CCI) is a commonly
used index for this purpose. The CCI used for this study is 11230, the May 2019 20-Cities Average.
For comparison the last Water Master Plan CCI for September 2011 was 9030. Thus., costs are
assumed to be approximately 25 percent higher than estimated in the previous Water Master Plan.

CHAPTER 6 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Estimated total project costs for each project are comprised of multiple components: directly
estimated construction costs, an allowance for contingencies, and an allowance for engineering,
legal, and administrative costs. These components are described below.
Construction Costs
Planning -level construction costs were estimated assuming a traditional public works procurement
process of design, bidding, award, and construction by a licensed contractor using commonly
accepted means and methods. Property easements or land acquisition and maintenance costs are
not included.
Error! Reference source not found. presents the unit construction cost assumptions for pipe
improvements used in the CIP. These are based on recent, local projects and include mobilization,
materials, labor, contractor overhead and profit, and all elements expected to be included in a
contractor's bid. Pump station costs were estimated using previous projects and comparing
building square footage,, total motor power,, ultimate capacity, and startup capacity.

Can brigencies
A contingency of 30 percent was added to estimated construction costs for all projects except small
pipe improvement projects that require minimal traffic disruption. The allowance for contingencies
covers items such as variations in the project configuration, which are developed during
preliminary design and final design, unforeseen site conditions encountered during construction,
and reasonable project changes during construction. The contingency allowance does not include
major project scope additions or additional costs resulting from permit mitigation requirements
(such as wetlands enhancement).
Ennee giring, I e g n a 1, A d rn i i s t r--- a t i Ilia
Total construction costs were increased by 25 percent to achieve the total project cost. This
markup accounts for engineering design, construction management, legal, and administrative
project costs. Costs shown in the CIP are estimated total project costs.

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER MASTER PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
SDC Allocation & Development Contributions
Projects that are required for meeting increased demands are eligible to be funded from System
Development Charges (SDC) and will be used to estimate an updated SDC value for the City's water
system in Chapter 7. Some projects are recommended for capacity upgrades and maintenance or
other non -growth -related reasons. The portion eligible for SDC funding was calculated as the
additional cost for increasing capacity. Chapter 4 presents the current and future estimated ERUs
for the water system. New ERUs comprise approximately 10 percent of' all total 2040 ERUs; thus, an
SDC allocation of 10 percent was assigned to several projects where general infill is anticipated. In
other projects, the SDC eligibility is greater due to the project specifically benefitting future growth.
A few pipe projects (P-20, P-28 through P-32) were identified to serve future development areas
and are assumed to be installed by developers when development occurs. These projects are noted
in Table 6-3.
a a
[�)Irao. I lect Pr I ioritization
As described in Chapter 5., the City"s water system has several challenges to overcome that will take
many years and significant funding to resolve. The following prioritization was assigned to the
recommended projects:
1. Currently planned projects for the next two years and including the new WTP and its
required associated facilities.
2. Projects that resolve significant fire flow deficiencies. (These are defined as fire flows that
are approximately 50 percent below the fire flow criteria when in a non-residential area.
These projects are labeled as "Fire Flow 1" in the notes in Table 6-3 and are prioritized for
the next twenty years.)
a. Projects that correct low pressure conditions causing fire flow deficiencies elsewhere in
I Projects that reduce supply from the Crowson to Granite zones (thereby reducing pumping
to Crowson).

Schedule of Improvements
The recommended projects were added to an implementation schedule that can be used by the
City for preparing its CIP and annual water budget. The implementation schedule for the proposed
improvements is shown in Table 6-2. As seen in the table, projects are allocated into Short -Term,
Mid -Term,, and Long -Term schedules. The Short -Term shows projects allocated annually for the
next ten years. The table also shows the calculated SDC eligibility.
Description of Irnpi overnentS
This section provides a general description of the recommended improvements and an overview of
the deficiencies they resolve. Most of the improvements are necessary to resolve existing system

deficiencies. Improvements have also been identified for serving future growth. Recommended
infrastructure improvements for Short -Term, Mid -Term and Long -Term planning periods are shown
in Figures 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3, respectively.
SuppImprovements
The following improvements are recommended for the City"s supply system. The City is already
planning on the majority of these projects and City staff provided costs. Costs and timing of supply
improvement projects are shown in Table 6-2.
S I [)&rn Safety I m prove m &rits
The City recently completed its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Part 12 inspection of
Hosler Dam and associated appurtenances. The Part 12 inspection and associated Potential Failure
Modes Analysis Update (PFMA) details areas of concern with the dam. This project covers the cost
of developing a plan and schedule, and further evaluation and potential improvements of the
spillway structures and dam piping penetrations. The City has determined that this project is 25
percent SDC eligible.
S 2: AsNand (TID) Canal Piping Project
The City has secured a $1.3M loan from the Department of' Environmental Quality Clean Water
State Revolving Fund Loan to improve creek health by piping the Ashland Canal. This project
includes piping approximately 10,000 feet of canal for both water quality and conservation
purposes. The City has determined that this project is 100 percent SDC eligible.

The East and West Forks transmission lines are critical for providing raw water supply to the City
while clewatering the Reeder Reservoir for repairs or sediment removal. Several segments of these
pipes are in need of repair, including two crossings of' the reservoir. The City has determined that
this project is 75 percent SDC eligible.
S 4.1" [seeder Reservoir hntal<e Repairs
Recent water quality studies identified the need to be able to draw water supply from different
depth levels of Reeder Reservoir during different times of the year. This will allow the City to better
manage raw water quality for treatment of potable water and temperature control for wastewater
effluent. The City has determined that this project is not SDC eligible.
S 5- Reeder Reservoir Sediment Removal
To meet regulatory requirements for sediment in Reeder Reservoir,, the City must manage ongoing
sediment removal in the upper dams that flow into the reservoir every three to four years. The City
has determined that this project is 75 percent SDC eligible.

CITY OF ASHLAND WATER MASTER PLAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
S 6.- 7. M G D W a Le iir. . ....... I re a t iir-n e iin L I,,,, a Ii7i t
The City is already under design of the new WTP that replaces the existing WTP that is in major
need of replacement. This significant project will build in critical water supply reliability and
resilience. The project includes a new WTP, clearwell, pump station, and associated piping to
connect to the water system. The new WTP is planned for construction at a site southwest of the
Granite Reservoir on City property. The City has determined that this project is 10 percent SDC
eligible.
I I" Backwash Recovery System
A follow up project to the new WTP is additional mechanical and structural components at the
plant to allow the City to reuse filter backwash water, thereby reducing water waste. This project is
assumed to be delayed until funding is available. Similar to the new WTP,, this project is assumed to
be 10 percent SDC eligible.
S 8 .- _FA I S rn Improvements
It is anticipated that the City will have some responsibility in the investment of improvements to
the TAP Supply System from the connection at MWC to the City's TAP BPS. The City, along with the
Cities of Phoenix and Talent, are preparing a TAP Water Master Plan in FY20 to review
infrastructure capacity and maintenance needs. Costs for the resulting recommendations are
unknown at this time. However, a cost of approximately $50,,000 is anticipated in the short-term to
support pipe relocation required by an ODOT project in Phoenix. This project is assumed to be 10
percent SDC eligible.
S 9- Deferred \A/1"'P Improvement Projects
To save upfront costs., the City anticipates deferring other ancillary WTP improvements that can be
delayed until funding is available. No costs are associated with these improvements at this time.
S torage I rn prove rn ents
The following water system storage improvement was identified from the results of the water
system analyses in Chapter 5.
S1 ...... ........ I - New 0.85-MG Granite Zorie Reservoir
As soon as budget allows, it is recommended that the City abandon the existing Granite Reservoir,
which is in poor condition and in need of costly repairs and construct a new reservoir in the vicinity
of Ashland Mine Road. A new 0.85-MG Granite Zone Reservoir in this location continues to serve as
Granite Zone storage and provides terminal storage for the TAP supply into Granite Zone 1 so that
the TAP BPS does not have to meet PHD of the Granite Zones. New development is anticipated to
occur in the vicinity of the recommended location, thus cost savings could be achieved by
combining new pipes for development with connections to the new reservoir. Pipe projects P-20
through P-22 are recommended to support the new Granite Street Reservoir. Additionally, pipe
project AP-1 (Fox Street Pipe) is recommended to be a 16-inch (previously planned as an 8-inch
pipe). Figure 6-2 shows the approximate location for this reservoir and the associated piping.

CHAPTER 6 CITY OF ASHLAND WATER SYSTEM PLAN
P u rn p S t a t i
The following pump station improvements were identified from the results of the water system
analyses in Chapter S. The improvements are primarily necessary to resolve existing system
deficiencies, but also have been sized to accommodate projected growth. The project costs for
pump stations in Table 6-2 are for the pump stations only and do not include costs of new pipes.

Replace this aging booster pump station and increase capacity to support the Alsing Reservoir
Service Area expansion. The recommended capacity is 860 gpm., with the ability to be reduced t
680 gpm. This project is anticipated to be 8 percent SDC eligible, which reflects the additional
growth in the expanded Alsing Reservoir Service Area. I
PS 3 : G ra n il..,�e to WTI) B �PS
Provide a new booster pump station to boost water from the Granite Zones to the new clearwell at
the WTP. This project allows the emergency TAP supply to boosted to the upper pressure zones (in
combination with the WTP to Crowson BPS). A 1,.000 gpm pumping capacity with a static head of 95
feet is recommended. The project is recommended to be located in Granite Street in parallel with a
flow control valve that supplies the Granite Zone from the WTP. This project is anticipated to be 10
percent SDC eligible.
F')ipe Improvements
The following water main improvements were identified from the results of the distribution and
transmission system analyses discussed in Chapter S. All recommended improvements are
assumed to be Ductile Iron Pipe Class 54 following the City"s pipe construction standards. The
improvements are sized to meet future demands; thus, many projects include an SDC allocation.
The projects were prioritized according to the prioritization discussed above and were allocated in
the planning years such that the total pipe project costs are approximately $1M per year. This is
consistent with the City's latest budget planning.
It is important to note that the recommended pipe improvements do not resolve every pressure or
fire flow deficiency in the water system as predicted by the hydraulic model. The number of pipe
projects identified to address significant fire flow issues as well as other critical transmission
projects require over $30M over the next 30 years. Thus, it was assumed that additional pipe
projects to resolve every deficiency would require budgeting beyond the planning periods
presented herein.
........ I through Al . . ........ 2 11 . . ... . . . . . - Annu` ipe Repacement
Proposed CIP projects AP-1 through AP-25 are a group of pipe improvements which address aging,
undersized pipes, many of which could be implemented by City staff. Several of these projects
increase pipe size to accommodate infill and higher fire flow requirements due to the increased fire

flow criteria. The City has adopted an annual pipe replacement budget of $300,000. The
recommended projects are summarized in Table 6-4 at the end of this chapter and into a single
line -item on the CIP summary shown in Table 6-2. The projects were placed in priority of those that
resolve significant fire flow deficiencies. The City may opt to adjust this recommended pipe
replacement schedule to accommodate road improvement projects or other priority projects.
These projects are assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.
P I UNir--ough [1-32: Distributioor. i [lipe Projects
Distribution pipe projects P-1 through P-32 are 8- to 12-inch diameter pipe improvements
necessary for meeting the City's pressure and fire flow criteria. The first five years include projects
that the City recently adopted as part of its FY20/21 biannual CIP. However., some projects have
been delayed to allow budget for newly identified projects. These include funding for Project P-3
(Morton Street to Ivy Street connection) and Project P-5 (Siskiyou Blvd pipe upsizing) that should be
done concurrently with the street overlay project in FY24. Distribution pipe projects are spread out
between short-term, mid-term and long-term planning periods and are listed in Table 6-3. These
projects are assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.
-F I t-.Ifirough T-5: Transmissioor. i [lipe Projects
Transmission pipe projects are 12- to 16-Inch diameter pipes that supply water into the system.
These projects are assumed to be 80 percent SDC eligible as they resolve some fire flow issues but
7 ..1.- Wolker Ave Pipe Replacement
New 12-inch pipe in Walker Avenue from Siskiyou Boulevard to Ashland Middle School. This project
greatly improves the fire flow for Walker Elementary School and the Ashland Middle School and
was included in the City"s five-year CIP.
7 ....... . ...... 2- Gronite St Pipe Replacenient
New 16-inch pipe in Granite Street from the new Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to Strawberry Lane.
This project may be done in phases (i.e. Granite Reservoir to Strawberry Lane,, then WTP to Granite
Reservoir) or could be a single project when the Granite Reservoir is taken offline. This project is
identified to be completed in the mid-term; however, completing this project as soon as budget
allows is recommended in order to reduce pumping from the WTP to Crowson Zone 1.
'T 3 t hrough T5.1- E"Main St Pipes
A series of pipe projects in E Main Street from Siskiyou Boulevard to the east side of Interstate 5 at
Ashland Street / Oak Knoll Drive are recommended. T-3 and T-4 are 16-inch mains. T-3 provides
needed transmission capacity within Granite Zone 1 to supply fire flows to SOU and the apartment
complexes in the Wightman St and Iowa St vicinity. Project T-3 could also be used as a way to
separate high pressure customers north of East Main Street as part of a rezone project. T-4 is
recommended to provide a redundant supply to new development in the Normal Avenue area
north of East Main Street. T-5 is a 12-inch main to supply areas of Crowson Zones 2 and 6 that are

recommended for rezoning to the Granite Zone. This pipe could also be constructed to serve
development east of 1-5 and south of East Main St.
Operations and Maintenance
The following operations and maintenance improvements are recommended and are shown in
Table 6-2.
OM I .... .. ....... I oLi-nan 0-eel< Road PRV Station
This project is recommended for expansion of the Alsing Reservoir Service Area. The timing of the
project is recommended to be concurrent with replacement of the Hillview BPS. This project is
estimated to be 8 percent SDC eligible, which corresponds to projected growth in the expanded
Alsing service area.
OM 2 : I .......... �ydrwit Replacernent Progmrn
City staff have identified the need for funding of a hydrant replacement program to bring hydrants
throughout the City into improved,, more reliable conditions for fighting fires. An annual budget of
10 hydrants per year is recommended for the first ten years (except for the first two years), and 20
per year beyond this. This program is not assumed to be SDC eligible.
OM 3: -Fe�ernetry Upgrades
As discussed in Chapter 5., the City's telemetry system will require infrastructure improvements to
keep up with improved technologies and to match the system decided on for the new WTP. This
project is assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.
OM-4- AK/AMR Evaluation
The water system includes a combination of' meter types., including typical manual read meters and
some automatic meter read (AMR) meters. To simplify monthly meter reading and meter
maintenance, have a consistent meter type is recommended. City staff need a plan for whether to
continue to install and repair AMR meters or consider other technologies. Other meter
technologies, such as advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) would need to be reviewed and
approved with public input as the community is concerned with potential environmental impacts
associated with these technologies. A study is recommended for evaluating and recommending a
meter type for the City to move forward with meter management. This project is assumed to be 10
percent SDC eligible.
OM 5- F ipe Connectijustmerits from RezoneStudies
Pipe improvement or PRV projects are anticipated to result from the recommended rezone study
(RS-3) for addressing low- and high-pressure areas in the system. Costs are unknown at this time,
but a cost of $200,000 is a placeholder until the costs can be further refined. This project is
assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.

These two PRV stations are recommended for rezoning lower sections of the Crowson Zones 2 and
6 where significantly high pressures exist. This project could happen prior to extending Granite
Zone 1 piping in East Main Street to these areas. Once the East Main piping is installed, these
customers could be supplied mainly by the Granite Zone,, and these PRV stations would be used for
fire protection (supply fire from the Alsing Reservoir). This project is estimated to not be SDC
eligible.
I 'lire ssure ROO Vaes
Due to high pressures at low elevations within pressure zones,, City staff have identified the need
for installing pressure relief valves at critical locations. The number of relief valves and their
locations are unknown at this time. This project is assumed to not be SDC eligible.
Recommended Studies
RS I _FAP Water Master Man a��id F'uture LJpdates
As discussed above, the City, along with the Cities of Phoenix and Talent,, is preparing a TAP Water
Master Plan in FY20 to review infrastructure capacity, operations and maintenance needs of the
TAP Supply System infrastructure. The Plan includes developing a cost -sharing methodology for
future maintenance and improvements that will reflect each TAP partner city"s original investment
in the TAP system and future capacity needs. It is anticipated that an updated Intergovernmental
Agreement will also result from the TAP Water Master Plan. Additionally,, a revised TAP Water
Master Plan is recommended every ten years. This project is assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.
[,- fisk aor. id Resilience Assessrnerit and `",meorb &ricy Response
Recently adopted federal regulations under the Water Infrastructure Act require that the City
perform a Risk and Resilience Assessment and Emergency Response Plan. This plan is required to
identify all potential hazards to the City including natural hazards, human -caused threats, cyber-
security threats., financial risks, etc. The plan also requires developing a mitigation plan to address
all threats and develop an Emergency Response Plan. The regulations also include a short -time
frame for completion of the Plan, and the City's plan will be due in FY21. This project is assumed to
be 10 percent SDC eligible.
RS 3- Rezoning,Study
A rezoning study is recommended to address the City"s many locations experiencing significantly
low and high pressures. The study may identify ways to use existing or planned pipe projects to
create new sub -zones, identify potential new PRV stations, and evaluate the existing PRV settings in
further detail than this WMP. This project is assumed to be 10 percent SDC eligible.
RS 4- Water Mas Ler 1`1��an Upda Les
The Oregon Drinking Water Program (DWP) requires that each water system have a current water
master plan. A revised master plan is recommended every ten years to capture changes in
demands. However, the City may opt to prepare an abbreviated updated Plan once the new WTP is
