A RESOLUTION accepting the Irrigation System Master Plan prepared
by MSA Associates.
WHEREAS, the city presently provides irrigation water to more than 6,000 citizens and
the city's population is expected to continue to grow; and
WHEREAS, the city relies on approximately 932 acre feet of water from the Columbia
River and 11 well sites for its irrigation water supply; and
WHEREAS, withdrawals from the Columbia River are strictly regulated by the state in
its effort to balance the needs of various user interests and it is, therefore, expected that
additional withdrawals from the Columbia River will become increasingly difficult; and
WHEREAS, the city acquired and has greatly expanded an irrigation system serving
much of the Pasco plateau, thus partially mitigating the consumption of domestic raw water
supply associated with urban growth on the plateau; and
WHEREAS, the city recognizes the increasing need to preserve and conserve its
irrigation supply as well as optimize the use and benefit of the wells it owns and operates; and
WHEREAS, the city's consultant, MSA Associates, has studied the city's domestic and
irrigation system supplies and has developed a management plan designed to optimize long -term
use of the city's limited water supplies; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the City Council hereby accepts the Irrigation System Master Plan
prepared by MSA Associates, attached hereto as Exhibit A, to be used as a guide by staff and
Council in making various decisions about the city's irrigation system.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco at its regular meeting this 4 day of
2014.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Authorization
On June 4, 2013, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. (MSA) was authorized by the City of
Pasco (City) to prepare this plan.
Background
The City of Pasco owns and operates an irrigation water utility that provides water to
residential customers and a limited number of commercial customers. Providing a system for
irrigation water separate from the potable water utility allows the City's customers to avoid
using treated drinking water to irrigate. The City's existing irrigation system is supplied by
water from 11 groundwater wells and water pumped from the Columbia River. The City
acquired the first portions of the system in 2002 from a private irrigation utility. The system
has grown considerably since that time. The City uses the irrigation system annually from
April 1st to October 31st. The City has established the goal of developing a capital
improvements plan for the irrigation system to ensure the continued delivery of economical
irrigation water to City residents.
Purpose
The purpose of this plan is to provide a basis for identifying, analyzing, and planning capital
improvements to the irrigation system. The study includes a hydraulic analysis of the
existing system which compares the existing system's performance to analysis criteria in
order to identify deficiencies and develop system improvements. A capital improvements
plan is developed to assist in planning future projects. Included with this plan are conceptual
level project cost estimates.
The system's existing groundwater wells will also be evaluated through a tabletop review of
existing data. The results of this review will be used to develop preliminary
recommendations for improvements, further assessment, and rehabilitation work.
Irrigation System Plan Overview
This plan is organized by sections. Section 2 presents an inventory of the irrigation system
and its components as they currently exist and operate. The City's irrigation water rights are
also discussed in Section 2. Section 3 presents analysis criteria that form the basis for
identifying deficiencies in system performance and planning improvements to the irrigation
system. Section 3 also includes a description of the hydraulic model and the results of the
modeling analysis work. Groundwater well condition assessments are also documented in
this section. Section 4 presents recommendations for improvements to the system and to the
groundwater wells, as well as recommended further study and planning work.

Existing System
The City's irrigation system piping is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ductile iron (DI), and steel
distribution pipes ranging from 3 inches to 24 inches in diameter. Table ES-1 shows a
summary of irrigation main sizes in the distribution system. Figure ES-1 shows an overview
of the irrigation system.
Table ES-1

15 8,078 1.53
16 27,878 5.28
18 4,488 0.85
24 483 0.09
Total 711,797 134.81
The oldest parts of the system are approximately 15 to 20 years old, with most of the system
constructed less than 10 years ago. Parts of the irrigation system were first acquired by the
City in 2002 from Kidwell Farms, Inc., a private irrigation utility owner. This utility was
part of subdivisions built by private developers.
Supply
The City's irrigation system is supplied by groundwater produced from 11 wells located
throughout the system and surface water pumped from the Columbia River. All sources of
supply pump to the system's main service zone, referred to as the 639 pressure zone. Supply
to lower zones is accomplished through the use of pressure-reducing stations.
Groundwater Supplies
The City's irrigation wells range between 135 and 245 feet deep and are completed in an
unconfined alluvial aquifer consisting mainly of sand and gravel. The wells range between 1
and 39 years old. Roughly half of the wells are constructed with perforated casing and the
others with stainless steel, wire wrap well screen. The reported production capacities range
between 450 and 2,500 gpm. Table ES-2 summarizes the City's irrigation wells.

Surface Water Supplies
In addition to groundwater wells, the City uses water pumped from the Columbia River for
irrigation supply. The river intake pump station conveys water directly to the Road 108
Booster Pump Station located on the west side of the system. The Road 108 Booster Pump
Station pumps the irrigation water to the irrigation distribution system. Irrigation water
pumped from the river is metered through a master meter at the Road 108 Booster Pump
Station.

Storage
The irrigation system has one storage tank located near the intersection of Sandifur Parkway
and Road 76. The storage tank sets the hydraulic grade for most of the City's system. The
storage tank serves the 639 pressure zone by gravity, so the water is able to serve the other
pressure zones at lower elevations through pressure-reducing stations. The City currently
operates the tank below full at a volume of 2.28 million gallons (MG).
Pressure Zones
The irrigation system has six pressure zones. The zones are separated by pressure-reducing
stations which allow zones with a higher hydraulic grade to supply zones having a lower
hydraulic grade with water.
Booster Pump Stations
The City currently has one booster pump station in its irrigation system. This is the Road
108 Booster Pump Station located at the intersection of Road 108 and Crescent Road in the
western portion of the irrigation service area. The design capacity of this station is 3,000
gpm. This station is used to boost water pumped from the Columbia River Intake Station to
the 639 Pressure Zone.
Another pump station is planned for construction in 2013. This station will be called the
Harris Road Booster Pump Station and will be located on Harris Road near Interstate 182.
This booster pump station has a design capacity of 3,125 gpm. The station will also pump
water supplied by the Columbia River Intake Station to the distribution system.
Dry Systems
The City's irrigation system includes portions that are installed and ready for use, but not
currently used. These systems are referred to as dry systems. The existing dry systems are
shown in Figure ES-1. Table ES-4 shows a summary of the current dry systems.

Irrigation Water Demands
The City typically uses its irrigation system from April to October every year. Production is
monitored and recorded by meters on each of the system's wells. Some large users are
metered, but most connections to the system are not currently metered.
Total system production is the sum of water produced by the irrigation system wells and
water pumped from the Columbia River. Figure ES-2 shows total system production from
2006 to 2012. As seen from the figure, system production has increased steadily from 2006
to 2012.

Total System Production
Irrigation System Analysis and Findings
The analysis of the irrigation system uses a hydraulic model to simulate pressure and flow
conditions in the system under several demand conditions. The results are compared to
analysis criteria and form the basis for identifying deficiencies.
Hydraulic Model
The initial layout of the hydraulic model was completed by tracing pipes and junctions over
the City's GIS data. Graphical and tabular data provided by the City were used to locate
critical hydraulic elements such as the Road 68 Irrigation Tank, wells, pumps, and pressure-
reducing stations. The demands presented in Section 2 were distributed throughout the

model using a nearest node method. The nearest node method assigns known demands with
a known spatial distribution to the nearest node in the system. Model calibration was
completed using data collected by the City's SCADA system. The system collects and logs
information from the system every 30 to 60 minutes. Monitoring points on the system
include well discharges, booster pump station discharges, and the storage tank.
Analysis Criteria
The analysis criteria used to evaluate the hydraulic performance of the irrigation system
include minimum system pressures and maximum flow velocities. Any result not meeting
these criteria is subject to further investigation and potential corrective action.
Flow Velocities
Pipes whose flow velocities exceed 5 feet per second (fps) under average day demand
conditions are considered to have inadequate capacity. Pipe flow velocities are allowed to
increase up to 8 fps during peak hour demand (PHD) conditions. Any pipes with flow
velocities above 8 fps under PHD conditions are considered to have inadequate capacity.
Irrigation System Pressures
The City's pressure criteria at service connections are summarized below. These pressure
criteria are based on industry standards, Uniform Plumbing Code requirements, and a review
of landscape irrigation equipment water pressure requirements.
1. Each service connection should maintain a minimum water pressure of 30 pounds per
square inch (psi) during all demand conditions.
2. No service connection should exceed a water pressure of 120 psi. Individual
customers are responsible for reducing water pressures over 80 psi if they desire to do
so.
3. During a failure of any part of the system, the maximum water pressure at customer
meters will not exceed 150 psi.
Model and Analysis Findings
The calibrated model was used to simulate two scenarios: year 2012 conditions and an
anticipated future demand condition. Modeling for the future condition included the City's
existing dry systems, but did not include any new pipes or new developments. The results of
each analysis are described below.
Existing Conditions
Existing conditions were modeled using 2012 PHD conditions. Two pipes in the system
exceed the flow velocity criteria of 8 fps under PHD conditions. These pipes are 4 inches in
diameter and located adjacent to the Sirocco Well discharge. All analysis criteria were

satisfied with regard to system pressures. The results are summarized below. A graphical
summary of modeling results for the existing conditions scenario is shown in Figure ES-3.
The system does not experience pressures over 120 psi under any demand condition.
In order to verify that maximum allowable pressures were not exceeded, a low-
demand condition was used to approximate static conditions.
The system experiences pressures over 80 psi near discharges for wells and the Road
108 Booster Pump Station during high production. None of the locations which
experience pressures between 80 and 120 psi serve customers. They are typically
located on dedicated transmission mains and are caused by topography.
Low system pressures were not predicted by the model under this scenario during
normal tank levels. If the storage tank water surface elevation reaches 600 feet above
mean sea level (AMSL), the system begins to experience isolated low pressures.
No part of the system experiences pressures over 150 psi during a failure of pressure-
reducing valves. It is possible that pumps could fail in such a manner as to cause high
system pressures downstream of their discharges.
Future Conditions
The calibrated model was used to predict the hydraulic performance of the City's irrigation
system under anticipated future conditions. The future condition assumptions are:
All of the City's current dry systems are connected and in use
All of the City's existing subdivisions are fully developed
All of the City's sources are producing the maximum allowed flows simultaneously
These assumptions represent near-term conditions that could occur within the next two to
five years. The actual timing of these conditions is dependent on a number of variables.
Any changes in the following conditions would alter the analysis results:
Expansion of the irrigation system service area beyond assumed service limits
Additional sources of supply
Changes in water rights
High system pressures were found near the discharges of wells and pump stations as in the
2012 PHD scenario. No pipes that serve customers directly experienced high pressures. No
low system pressures were found by the model. High flow velocities were found by the
model at two locations:
Near the discharge of the Sirocco Well as observed in the 2012 PHD scenario
North of the intersection of Road 52 and Sandifur Parkway
A graphical summary of modeling results for the future conditions scenario is shown in
Figure ES-4.

Storage Analysis
The system storage was evaluated at projected peak hour demand conditions to determine
whether or not enough storage is available in the system. The analysis concluded that the
existing irrigation system reservoir has adequate capacity to meet projected storage needs as
long as the water level in the tank is raised. Modeling confirmed that raising the water level
does not have any adverse impacts on the distribution system.
Well Condition Assessment
A tabletop condition assessment of the City's groundwater supply wells was completed as
part of this plan. The assessment consisted of gathering and analyzing available information.
The objective of this analysis is to identify wells having apparent construction, performance,
or water quality issues that may be limiting production with the purpose of developing a
targeted approach at candidate wells to regain performance and optimize individual and
combined system production. The results of the well condition assessments are summarized
as follows:
Review of available information for the Desert Sunset, Sirocco, NW Commons,
Island Estates, I-182, and Powerline Road wells indicated the presence of biofouling
and incrustation which are possibly plugging screens and perforations. Significant
accumulations of sediment or debris in the wells are also noted.
Observations indicated minor mineral and biological deposits within the First Place
and Desert Estates wells.
Based on the information provided and relatively newer construction, the apparent
conditions of the Road 52 and Linda Loviisa Wells are considered good.
Recommendations
Recommendations for improvements to wells, improvements to the irrigation system, and
opportunities for further planning and study were developed as part of this report. The
recommendations are separated into near-term improvements and long-term improvements.
Near-term improvements are those which should be completed within the next one to five
years. Long-term improvements should be completed in six to twenty years.
The recommended capital improvement program totals approximately $800,000 for near-
term improvements. The sum of recommended budget for long-term improvements is $6.87
million and does not include the $800,000 of near-term recommended investment. Table ES-
5 shows a summary of the recommended capital improvement budgets. Tables ES-6 and ES-
7 include tabulated summaries of all recommended improvements and their associated
estimated project costs.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Authorization
On June 4, 2013, Murray, Smith & Associates, Inc. (MSA) was authorized by the City of
Pasco (City) to prepare this plan.
Background
The City of Pasco owns and operates domestic and irrigation water utilities that provides
water to residential customers and a limited number of commercial customers. Providing a
system for irrigation water separate from the potable water utility allows the City's customers
to avoid using treated drinking water to irrigate. The City's existing irrigation system is
supplied by water from 11 groundwater wells and water pumped from the Columbia River.
The City acquired the first portions of the system in 2002 from a private irrigation utility.
The system has grown considerably since that time. The City uses the irrigation system
annually from April 1st to October 31st. The City has established the goal of developing a
capital improvements plan for the irrigation system to ensure the continued delivery of
economical irrigation water to City residents.
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this plan is to provide a basis for identifying, analyzing, and planning capital
improvements to the irrigation system. The study includes a hydraulic analysis of the
existing system which compares the existing system's performance to analysis criteria in
order to identify deficiencies and develop system improvements. A capital improvements
plan is developed to assist in planning future projects. Included with this plan are conceptual
level project cost estimates.
The system's existing groundwater wells will also be evaluated through a tabletop review of
existing data. The results of this review will be used to develop preliminary
recommendations for improvements, further assessment, and rehabilitation work.
Irrigation System Plan Overview
This plan is organized by sections. Section 2 presents an inventory of the irrigation system
and its components as they currently exist and operate. The City's irrigation water rights are
also discussed in Section 2. Section 3 presents analysis criteria that form the basis for
identifying deficiencies in system performance and planning improvements to the irrigation
system. Section 3 also includes a description of the hydraulic model and the results of the
modeling analysis work. Groundwater well condition assessments are also documented in
this section. Section 4 presents recommendations for improvements to the system and to the
groundwater wells, as well as recommended further study and planning work.

SECTION 2
EXISTING SYSTEM
Introduction
This section describes the City's existing irrigation system's supply, storage, and distribution
facilities. Water rights and historical production and demand data are presented. General
operations are also discussed in this section. The information in this section forms the basis
for building the hydraulic model and for developing the recommendations which result from
analysis of the irrigation system.
Existing Irrigation System
The City's irrigation system piping is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), ductile iron (DI), and steel
distribution pipes ranging from 3 inches to 24 inches in diameter. Table 2-1 shows a
summary of irrigation main sizes in the distribution system.
Table 2-1

24 483 0.09
Total 711,797 134.81
The oldest parts of the system are approximately 15 to 20 years old, with most of the system
constructed less than 10 years ago. Parts of the irrigation system were first acquired by the
City in 2002 from Kidwell Farms, Inc., a private irrigation utility owner. This utility was
part of subdivisions built by private developers.
The system has six pressure zones. The largest is the 639 pressure zone. All of the system's
sources of supply and storage are located in this zone. The other five zones have a lower
hydraulic grade line (HGL) and are supplied from the 639 pressure zone through pressure-
reducing valves. Figure 2-1 shows an overview of the existing system. Figure 2-2 shows a
hydraulic profile of the system.

Supply
The City's irrigation system is supplied by groundwater produced from 11 wells located
throughout the system and surface water pumped from the Columbia River. All sources of
supply pump to the system's main service zone, referred to as the 639 pressure zone. Supply
to lower zones is accomplished through the use of pressure-reducing stations.
Groundwater Supplies
The City's irrigation wells range between 135 and 245 feet deep and are completed in an
unconfined alluvial aquifer consisting mainly of sand and gravel. The wells range between 1
and 39 years old. Roughly half of the wells are constructed with perforated casing and the
others with stainless steel, wire wrap well screen. The reported production capacities range
between 450 and 2,500 gpm. Table 2-2 summarizes the City's irrigation wells.
Most of the City's irrigation wells are located on concrete pads and are open to the
atmosphere with nearby electrical equipment in weatherproof enclosures. The Desert Sunset
and Sirocco Wells are enclosed within buildings. The City has current capital improvement
projects planned to construct new well houses around the First Place Well and the Linda
Loviisa Well. The construction of these well houses is intended to prevent damage to
equipment from exposure and reduce noise levels to nearby properties when the pumps are
operating. None of the wells have backup power supply.
Surface Water Supplies
In addition to groundwater wells, the City uses water pumped from the Columbia River for
irrigation supply. The river intake pump station conveys water directly to the Road 108
Booster Pump Station located on the west side of the system. The Road 108 Booster Pump
Station pumps the irrigation water to the irrigation distribution system. Irrigation water
pumped from the river is metered through a master meter at the Road 108 Booster Pump
Station. Since there are no services between these two stations, all of the water pumped is
metered prior to distribution and use.
Water Rights Summary
The City's current irrigation water rights are a combination of water rights issued by the
Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) and water rights which were given to the
City by private parties. The City's annual irrigation water rights total 7,592.9 acre-ft. Table
2-3 shows a summary of the City's existing irrigation water rights.
Storage
The irrigation system has one storage tank located near the intersection of Sandifur Parkway
and Road 76. The storage tank sets the hydraulic grade for most of the City's system. The

storage tank serves the 639 pressure zone by gravity, so the water is able to serve the other
pressure zones at lower elevations through pressure-reducing stations.

The storage tank is referred to as the Road 68 Irrigation Tank. Construction of the tank was
completed in 1992 and it was originally used as a potable water storage tank. The tank was
repurposed for use in the irrigation system in 2006. The tank is a welded steel standpipe with
an approximate volume of 2.62 million gallons (MG) when full. The City currently operates
the tank below full at a volume of 2.28 MG. The tank has a diameter of about 55 feet and the
current water storage height is 126.5 feet which corresponds to an elevation of 639 feet
above mean sea level (AMSL). The maximum water storage height is 147.5 feet or 660 feet
AMSL. The tank has approximately 18,000 gallons of storage per vertical foot of storage

Distribution
The distribution system consists of pipe ranging from 3 inches in diameter to 24 inches in
diameter. The majority of the system piping is PVC with parts of the system in ductile iron
(DI) or steel.
Pressure Zones
The irrigation system has six pressure zones. The zones are separated by pressure-reducing
stations which allow zones with a higher hydraulic grade to supply zones having a lower
hydraulic grade with water. Table 2-4 summarizes the pressure zones.

Dry Systems
The City's irrigation system includes portions that are installed and ready for use, but not
currently used. These systems are referred to as dry systems. The existing dry systems are
shown in Figure 2-1. Table 2-5 shows a summary of the current dry systems.

Interties to Other Systems
The irrigation system is not connected to any other irrigation or water distribution systems.
The irrigation system was formerly connected to the City's potable water distribution system
through a backflow prevention device. The City completely removed the connection in
2006.
Irrigation System Demands
This section presents information on irrigation water production and demands. The City
typically uses its irrigation system from April to October every year. Production is
monitored and recorded by meters on each of the system's wells. Some large users are
metered, but most connections to the system are not currently metered.
Production Records
Total system production is the sum of water produced by the irrigation system wells and
water pumped from the Columbia River. Figure 2-3 shows total system production from
2006 to 2012. As seen from the figure, system production has increased steadily from 2006
to 2012. The City performed two studies related to water use: one in 2001 and one in 2007.
The study from 2001 includes information cited in this report on irrigation water use for
public facilities and agriculture. The 2007 study contains more recent data on residential
irrigation water usage which are also used in this report.
Overall System Usage
Historical production data was used to calculate overall system usage and peaking factors.
The City has collected hourly data on all of its source meters and its storage tank for the past
13-1444.407 Page 2-9 Irrigation System Master Plan

three years. This data was used to analyze variations in demand and to develop the average
day demand (ADD), maximum day demand (MDD), and peak hour demand (PHD). The
results of this analysis are shown in Table 2-6.

The irrigation system has grown since the City began acquiring the system in 2002. The City
classifies connections to the system as either residential, billed on a flat fee basis, or
connections for customers billed by the acre. These larger accounts are typically commercial
irrigation customers and include public schools, parks, apartment complexes, and sports
facilities. Table 2-7 shows the number of connections to the system each year.

2010 4,812 -
2011 5,159 22
2012 5,379 23

Production has kept uniform pace with the number of connections to the system on an annual
basis. Since 2006, the production per residential connection to the system has remained
relatively constant at 1,575 gallons per day per connection per year.
Residential Demands
The City does not meter water use on residential connections to the irrigation system.
Residential irrigation use varies widely across the City's service area and is dependent on
economic factors, maturity of the landscaping, and whether or not the property is irrigated
using domestic or irrigation water.
The City studied residential water use patterns in a 2007 memorandum and determined that
residential irrigation usage averages 3.18 acre-ft per gross acre per year or 5.31 acre-ft per
irrigated acre per year. The memorandum is attached as Appendix B.
Commercial Demands
Commercial users of the City's irrigation system include public schools and the City of Pasco
Department of Parks and Recreation. Irrigated facilities include a soccer complex, a track
facility, a softball complex, and five residential City parks. The soccer complex is metered.
Commercial irrigation usage varies according to the facility. City park use varied from 19
gallons per square foot to 34 gallons per square foot. Water use at the athletic facilities
averaged 40 gallons per square foot which is higher than the rest of the system.

Agricultural Demands
The City of Pasco supplies irrigation water to three pivots from its system. Crops which are
commonly grown at the three sites vary annually and include wheat, alfalfa, and potatoes.
The pivots and land are not owned by the City. They include:
A single pivot located at Linda Loviisa Farms
A single pivot near the Northwest Commons Well
A single pivot north of Powerline Road near the Powerline Well
All of the pivots are served directly by the system except for the pivot at the Northwest
Commons Well. The Northwest Commons pivot may only run when the Northwest
Commons Well is operating. Each pivot connection is metered.
Pivot acreages were calculated by scaling aerial photo maps. An annual demand of 3.30
acre-ft per acre was used to estimate the annual water usage of each of these pivots. This
estimated demand was calculated as part of a water usage study prepared by the City in 2001.
Table 2-8 shows a summary of the agricultural demands.

General Operating Procedures
City staff use a process referred to as staging to operate the irrigation system. In each stage,
various wells or combinations of wells are selected for production. Each stage includes more
pumps than the previous stage. When an additional pump is called to operate, it is referred to
as a step up. When a pump is called to stop, it is called a step down. The system uses a
delay between stepping up or stepping down to minimize pump cycling and prevent
dramatic increases or decreases in pressure and flow. The order of pumps is chosen by the
operator and varies on a regular schedule. The maximum number of stages is set by the
operator and varies up to 11, which is the number of well pumps in the system. The system
has the ability to operate manually or automatically via a master telemetry unit.
Under automatic control, pumps are called to operate based on signals from pressure sensors
within the system. The Island Estates Well, Sirocco Well, I-182 Well, and Desert Sunset
13-1444.407 Page 2-12 Irrigation System Master Plan

K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 2 - Existing System.docx
Well are equipped with pressure sensors that communicate with the telemetry system. If a
low pressure is registered at any of these sites and lasts for 30 seconds, a new pump is called
to operate. This is called a low pressure step-up. When a pressure sensor sends a high
pressure alarm that lasts for 10 seconds, the stage will step down. This is called a high
pressure step-down.
When the tank level is low, the stage is stepped up. This is referred to as a low tank level
step-up. As long as the level remains low, additional pumps will be called to operate until
the level rises above the low tank set point or the maximum stage is reached. If there is a
high tank level signal, the stage is stepped down until the tank level falls below the high tank
set point.
Water Quality
Water for the irrigation system is not treated. Available water quality data is attached in
Appendix A.
Agreements with Kidwell Farms, Inc.
The City supplies irrigation water to three sites owned by Kidwell Farms, Inc. The three
sites are the Northwest Commons subdivision, the Linda Loviisa Subdivision, and land
leased from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources in Section 16, T-9-N, R-
29-E. The City leases use of the Northwest Commons Well for an annual flat fee. The other
pivots are connected to the system and a flat fee is paid to the City by Kidwell Farms for the
connection. The fee varies by site and Kidwell Farms agrees to pay all maintenance and
electrical costs associated with its use of the City facilities.
Rate Schedule
The City bills most of its customers based on a flat fee for connection to the irrigation
system. Some large users are billed by the number of irrigated acres. Some users are billed
by an irrigation unit which is defined as 5,000 square feet of irrigated area. The City's rate
schedule and fees associated with the irrigation utility are summarized in Table 2-9.
Summary
This section presented information on the existing irrigation system including sources of
supply, storage facilities, and the distribution system. Current demand data and trends were
documented. General operation of the system was explained and the irrigation rates charged
to customers are shown. The next section will present the hydraulic analysis of the irrigation
system and the well condition assessments. Findings from each of these analyses will be
discussed.

SECTION 3
CRITERIA, ANALYSIS, AND FINDINGS
Introduction
Section 3 presents a hydraulic analysis of the City's irrigation system and an assessment of
the City's irrigation wells. The irrigation system analysis criteria include pressure, flow
velocity, and storage criteria. A description of the analyses and associated findings are also
presented.
Irrigation System Analysis
This section describes analysis of the irrigation system which uses a hydraulic model to
simulate pressure and flow conditions in the system under several demand conditions.
Model Layout
The initial layout of the hydraulic model was completed by tracing pipes and junctions over
the City's GIS data. Graphical and tabular data provided by the City were used to locate
critical hydraulic elements such as the Road 68 Irrigation Tank, wells, pumps, and pressure
reducing stations.
Once initial layout was completed, the irrigation piping system was then skeletonized to
simplify the layout and increase modeling efficiency. Skeletonization is a process that
consolidates multiple real pipes into hydraulically equivalent single pipes. For this model,
the majority of skeletonization converted dead ends to demands at a single node where the
real pipe branches away from the system. Skeletonization was not performed on pipes larger
than 8 inches in diameter.
The modeling software's terrain extraction (TREX) program was used to apply elevations to
the model nodes. The TREX program has the ability to apply elevations to hydraulic model
nodes using a representation of a three-dimensional surface. The representation, usually
contours, can be constructed using United States Geological Survey (USGS) data. The
contours are superimposed on the model layout and the distance to the nearest two contours
is used to interpolate the elevation of every node in the model. The final node elevations in
the model are indicative of the surface elevation. The accuracy of the data and the final
product is within 5 feet, which gives calculated pressures accurate to approximately 2 pounds
per square inch (psi).
Pipe Characteristics
The hydraulic modeling software uses default modeling properties for common pipe
materials. The City's irrigation system was modeled using the Hazen-Williams theory of
13-1444.407 Page 3-2 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Criteria, Analysis, and Findings City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 3 - Analysis and Findings.docx
pressurized flow. For PVC pipe, an initial C value of 150 was used. An initial value of 140
was used for steel pipe and 120 for ductile iron pipe.
Water Demand Distribution
The demands presented in Section 2 were distributed throughout the model using a nearest
node method. The nearest node method assigns known demands with a known spatial
distribution to the nearest node in the system.
ArcGIS, a GIS software program, was used to identify irrigated parcels. The area and the
geographic center of each parcel was calculated by the GIS program. This information was
used to assign the geographic area of each parcel, in acres, to the nearest node in the model.
To convert each node's area assignment to a water demand, the demands from Section 2 were
used. The total irrigated area in 2012 was approximately 1,492 acres. The PHD from 2012
was approximately 17,529 gpm. The known point demands were subtracted from this total
and assigned to the appropriate location in the model. Based on information received from
prior water demand studies performed by the City, it was determined that the remaining total
irrigation system demand could be distributed evenly across the irrigated area. This method
gives an average demand of 11.75 gpm/acre which was then applied universally to all of the
nodes in the hydraulic model. The modeled demand is within 1 percent of the demand
measured by the City's SCADA system.
Wells
Wells were modeled using flow control valves attached to virtual reservoirs with a HGL
higher than the rest of the City's system. The flow control valves were set to reflect the
documented production rates of each well.
Model Calibration
Model calibration was completed using data collected by the City's SCADA system. The
system collects and logs information from the system every 30 to 60 minutes. Monitoring
points on the system include well discharges, booster pump station discharges, and the
storage tank. Pressure and flow data were known at each pump discharge point within the
system during the peak hour. The tank level was not known, so it was estimated using data
from nearby points within the system.
Flows from each of the wells were modeled using flow control valves. The initial simulation
of the model produced hydraulic grade calculations at each well. These calculated hydraulic
grades were then compared to the known hydraulic grades collected by the SCADA system
and served as the primary calibration criteria. After several iterations, pipe roughness
coefficients were universally lowered to a value of 130. All of the hydraulic grades were
then within 4 percent of the target grades. Well calibrated models typically have
discrepancies of 10 percent or less. Table 3-1 shows the results of the calibration.

Analysis Criteria
Once the physical layout and calibration of the model were completed, the model could be
used to analyze flow velocities and pressures within the system. The analysis criteria used to
evaluate the hydraulic performance of the irrigation system include minimum system
pressures and maximum flow velocities. Any result not meeting these criteria is subject to
further investigation and potential corrective action.
Flow Velocities
For this analysis, pipes whose flow velocities exceed 5 feet per second (fps) under average
day demand conditions are considered to have inadequate capacity. Pipe flow velocities are
allowed to increase up to 8 fps during PHD conditions. Any pipes with flow velocities above
8 fps under PHD conditions are considered to have inadequate capacity. These velocity
limits reflect standard industry practices for acceptable flow velocities in pressurized piping
systems. They are chosen to limit excessive head loss in the system.
Irrigation System Pressures
The City's pressure criteria at service connections are summarized below. These pressure
criteria are based on industry standards, Uniform Plumbing Code requirements, and a review
of landscape irrigation equipment water pressure requirements.
1. Each service connection should maintain a minimum water pressure of 30 psi during
all demand conditions.

December 2013 Criteria, Analysis, and Findings City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 3 - Analysis and Findings.docx
2. No service connection should exceed a water pressure of 120 psi. Individual
customers are responsible for reducing water pressures over 80 psi if they desire to do
so.
3. During a failure of any part of the system, the maximum water pressure at customer
meters will not exceed 150 psi.
System Storage
This analysis uses standby storage recommendations provided by the Washington State
Department of Health (DOH) for drinking water systems as water storage criteria because the
City does not have established water storage criteria for its irrigation system. The DOH
typically recommends that drinking water systems provide 150 minutes of water storage
during peak demand conditions and that this storage be available to all customers at a
minimum pressure of 30 psi. The City does not use the irrigation system to provide fire
suppression, so no fire suppression storage is provided.
Model and Analysis Findings
The calibrated model was used to simulate two scenarios: 2012 conditions and an
anticipated future demand condition. Modeling included the City's existing dry systems, but
did not include any new pipes or new developments. The results of each analysis are
described below.
Existing Conditions
Existing conditions were modeled using 2012 PHD conditions. These conditions are the
same as those used for the calibration of the hydraulic model. Two pipes in the system
exceed the flow velocity criteria of 8 fps under PHD conditions. These pipes are 4 inches in
diameter and located adjacent to the Sirocco Well discharge. All analysis criteria were
satisfied with regard to system pressures. The results are summarized below:
The system does not experience pressures over 120 psi under any demand condition.
In order to verify that maximum allowable pressures were not exceeded, a low-
demand condition was used to approximate static conditions.
The system experiences pressures over 80 psi near discharges for wells and the Road
108 Booster Pump Station during high production. None of the locations which
experience pressures between 80 and 120 psi serve customers. They are typically
located on dedicated transmission mains and are caused by topography.
Low system pressures were not predicted by the model under this scenario during
normal tank levels. If the storage tank water surface elevation reaches 600 feet
AMSL, the system begins to experience isolated low pressures.
No part of the system experiences pressures over 150 psi during a failure of pressure-
reducing valves. It is possible that pumps could fail in such a manner as to cause high
system pressures downstream of their discharges.

A graphical summary of modeling results for the existing conditions scenario is shown in
Figure 3-1.
Future Conditions
The calibrated model was used to predict the hydraulic performance of the City's irrigation
system under anticipated future conditions. The future condition assumptions are:
All of the City's current dry systems are connected and in use
All of the City's existing subdivisions are fully developed
All of the City's sources are producing the maximum allowed flows simultaneously
These assumptions represent near-term conditions that could occur within the next two to
five years. The actual timing of these conditions is dependent on a number of variables.
Any changes in the following conditions would alter the analysis results:
Expansion of the irrigation system service area beyond assumed service limits
Additional sources of supply
Changes in water rights
High system pressures were found near the discharges of wells and pump stations as in the
2012 PHD scenario. No pipes that serve customers directly experienced high pressures. No
low system pressures were found by the model. High flow velocities were found by the
model at two locations:
Near the discharge of the Sirocco Well as observed in the 2012 PHD scenario
North of the intersection of Road 52 and Sandifur Parkway
A graphical summary of modeling results for the future conditions scenario is shown in
Figure 3-2.
Storage
The system storage was evaluated at projected peak hour demand conditions to determine
whether or not enough storage is available in the system. The City currently operates the
tank at a water level of 126.5 feet which corresponds to an elevation of 639 feet. At this
level, the tank provides a total storage of 2.28 MG. The overflow of the tank is at elevation
660 feet. Water stored below elevation 597.5 feet is considered dead storage according to
the storage criteria described above. The volume of dead storage in the tank is
approximately 1.51 MG and the volume of active storage in the tank, as currently operated, is
approximately 0.77 MG.
The maximum possible average day demand was calculated by dividing the sum of the City's
annual irrigation water rights by the days in service. This demand, 7,744 gpm, was used to

calculate a projected peak hour demand of 22,419 gpm. A peak hour demand peaking factor
of 2.895 was used.
This demand would be met by a combination of the City's wells and storage. It was assumed
that all of the City's sources would be pumping at the current instantaneous water right of
17,164 gpm. The tank would need to provide approximately 5,255 gpm for 150 minutes at a
minimum pressure of 30 psi. Based on this analysis, the system requires approximately
788,250 gallons of storage for the projected peak demand, not including dead storage. Based
on this analysis, the existing irrigation system reservoir has adequate capacity to meet these
storage needs.
Operations and Maintenance Problems
The City experiences some operations and maintenance problems with the irrigation system
which are described below.
Northwest Commons Well Use
The Northwest Commons well is plumbed so that it supplies the City's irrigation system and
a nearby agricultural pivot simultaneously. Whenever the well is being operated, the pivot
must also operate. Any water produced in excess of the pivot's requirements flows to the
irrigation system. The City currently allows a private third party to use the well to operate
the pivot, limiting the City's ability to use the well. The agreement under which this well is
operated is attached as Appendix C.
Freshwater Mussels
Some parts of the irrigation system which convey water drawn from the Columbia River
experience annual buildup of freshwater mussels in the piping. The most problematic area of
the mussel infestation is in the piping between the Road 108 Booster Pump Station and the
crossing under Interstate I-182. During the summer, high flows dislodge some mussels from
the pipe walls which can cause operational problems such as plugging.
Access to Pipes in Island Estates and Sunny Meadows
The original irrigation system piping that was constructed by private developer Water, Inc. is
located in the Island Estates and Sunny Meadows subdivisions. These pipes were installed in
easements located in the less accessible alignments on private property. City operations staff
may have difficulty accessing these areas for routine or emergency maintenance.
Interstate Highway 182 Crossing
Irrigation water supplied by pumps from the river intake station and the Road 108 Booster
Pump Station is conveyed underneath Interstate Highway 182 to serve the majority of the
City's irrigation system. The crossing ties into a pipe near Quadra Drive adjacent to the
13-1444.407 Page 3-9 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Criteria, Analysis, and Findings City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 3 - Analysis and Findings.docx
interstate highway. Discussions with City staff indicate that a complete shutdown of the
highway crossing is usually necessary to perform system maintenance and repairs in this area
because of inadequate local isolation valving.
Telemetry System and Communications
According to discussions with City staff, the Powerline Well, Road 52 Well, and the
Northwest Commons Well all rely on the same radio for communication with the system. If
this single radio were to fail or be compromised, communication and control at all three sites
would fail. City staff have indicated that the radio has experienced some irregular
communication problems in the past.
Data collected by the City's supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system
indicate that there is a problem with the remote level sensor in the Road 68 Irrigation Tank.
Data received for the last several years does not include accurate or consistent readings on
the tank water level.
Well Condition Assessment
A tabletop condition assessment of the City's groundwater supply wells was completed as
part of this plan. The assessment consisted of gathering and analyzing available information.
The objective of this analysis is to identify wells having apparent construction, performance,
or water quality issues that may be limiting production with the purpose of developing a
targeted approach at candidate wells to regain performance and optimize individual and
combined system production. The results of this assessment are discussed below.
Data Review and Gap Analysis
The following information was provided by the City and was used in assessing the irrigation
supply system:
Water Rights
Driller’s well logs
Well construction records
Aquifer test results
Specific capacity
Well inspection reports
Well video surveys
Water quality data
Well usage information
General notes and observations gathered by City operations staff

December 2013 Criteria, Analysis, and Findings City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 3 - Analysis and Findings.docx
All of the wells have some information available, but there are some data gaps that result in
recommendations for further assessment. A tabular summary identifying the data available
and the data gaps is presented in Table 3-2.
Observations and Analysis
The results of the well condition assessments are summarized as follows:
Review of available information for the Desert Sunset, Sirocco, NW Commons,
Island Estates, I-182, and Powerline Road wells indicated the presence of biofouling
and incrustation which are possibly plugging screens and perforations. Significant
accumulations of sediment or debris in the wells are also noted.
Observations indicated minor mineral and biological deposits within the First Place
and Desert Estates wells.
Based on the information provided and relatively newer construction, the apparent
conditions of the Road 52 and Linda Loviisa Wells are considered good.
Table 3-3 ranks the wells in terms of priority, potential for improvement, and overall
condition assessment. The Desert Sunset Well received the highest priority ranking which
means that it should be the first well to receive maintenance and rehabilitation. The Sirocco
well has the highest potential for improvement which means that its capacity could be
improved the most. The Desert Sunset Well received the highest condition assessment
ranking indicating that it is in the worst overall condition. The overall assessment found that
there are opportunities for well performance and yield improvements. The three highest-
ranking wells in need of improvements are the Desert Sunset Well, the Sirocco Well, and the
Northwest Commons Well. Table 3-4 presents a summary of the well condition assessments.
Summary
This section presented an analysis of the City's irrigation system. The distribution system
was analyzed using a hydraulic model. Current conditions and an anticipated future
condition were modeled. Low pressures and high velocities, as defined by the analysis
criteria, were noted. The irrigation system storage was analyzed for deficiencies. The
condition of the City's groundwater supply wells was also assessed. The results of these
analyses will be used in Section 4 to develop recommendations for improvements to the
irrigation system.

SECTION 4
RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduction
Section 4 presents recommendations based on the analysis and findings of Section 3.
Recommendations for improvements to wells, improvements to the irrigation system, and
opportunities for further planning and study are provided.
Improvements Completed Since 2005
The City of Pasco has completed irrigation system improvements that were recommended as
part of its 2005 I-182 Corridor Irrigation System Plan (2005 Plan). Table 4-1 shows a
summary of the improvements recommended in the 2005 Plan that have since been
completed.
Table 4-1
Irrigation System Improvements Completed Since 2005
Improvement Number
from 2005 Plan Project Description
IW-1 Construction of the First Place Well
IW-2 Existing Well Rehabilitation
IW-3 Existing Well Rehabilitation
IW-4 Future Well Rehabilitation
IW-5 Future Well Rehabilitation
IW-6 Future Well Rehabilitation
IS-1 Conversion of Road 68 Standpipe from domestic system to
irrigation system
IB-1 Construction of the Harris Road Booster Pump Station (currently
under construction)
IR 1.1 16-inch diameter irrigation main from Court Street to Harris Road
Booster Pump Station (currently under construction)
IR 1.2
16-inch diameter main along Harris Road from Harris Road Booster
Pump Station to Broadmoor Boulevard (currently under
construction)
IR 1.3 16-inch diameter main from Broadmoor Boulevard to Sandifur
Parkway
IR 1.5 Construction of 10-inch diameter PVC main from I-182 Well to
system
IR 1.7 16-inch diameter irrigation main along Road 52 from Leopard Drive
(Powerline Road) to Sandifur Parkway
In addition to these improvements as described by the 2005 Plan, the City has completed the
construction of two additional new irrigation wells. Construction of improvement IR 1.4 is
13-1444.407 Page 4-2 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
no longer necessary because the City constructed an irrigation main along Sandifur Parkway
to the tie-in point proposed by improvement IR 1.4. The main along Sandifur Parkway
accomplishes the same hydraulic task as the main which had been proposed by IR 1.4.
The City is currently completing design for a project proposing construction of a new river
intake near the City's existing river intake station. The new intake would be used exclusively
for drinking water and the old intake would be converted to irrigation use.
Distribution System Improvements
Recommended improvements to the distribution system include irrigation main extensions,
replacement of undersized mains, looping improvements, isolation valve installation, and
other minor improvements. Each is discussed below.
Irrigation Main Improvements
Irrigation main improvements include replacing undersized pipes to reduce head loss,
extending existing mains, and looping mains to improve connectivity and reliability of the
system. Recommended irrigation main projects are:
Extend arterial main on Powerline Road west to Road 90
Extend arterial main on Powerline Road east to Road 52
Extend arterial main on Sandifur Parkway east and south along Road 44 to tie in at
Burden Boulevard
Extend distribution mains on Sahara Drive west to Road 44
Replace small-diameter pipes on Sirocco Drive near Sirocco Well discharge with
larger pipes
Extend existing main on Wrigley Drive from North Road 68 to Convention Drive.
Completing this improvement requires right of way or easement acquisitions.
Approximately 22,000 linear feet of new irrigation main are recommended for construction.
The total estimated project cost for these improvement is approximately $2.77 million. An
itemized tabulation of irrigation main projects and their associated costs is included later in
this section.
Interstate Highway 182 Crossing Isolation Valve Improvements
It is possible to make complete shutdown of the Interstate Highway 182 crossing less
frequent by installing isolation valves in the system nearby. This would allow operations
staff to shut off portions of the line along Quadra Drive instead of the main crossing in order
to make repairs. Repairs on the main crossing would still require the crossing to be shut
down.
13-1444.407 Page 4-3 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
Based on a review of available information, it is recommended that the City install two 12-
inch diameter isolation valves near the highway crossing. For budgeting purposes, a project
cost of $5,000 per valve has been allowed for a total project cost of $10,000. It is
recommended that the installation of the valves be done between October 31 and April 1
when the irrigation system is not in use.
Island Estates and Sunny Meadows Distribution Isolation Valve Improvements
The Island Estates and Sunny Meadows subdivisions have irrigation systems that were
installed in easements that run through the rear of residential lots. When one of these older
mains breaks, City operations staff have difficulty getting access to residents' back yards to
make repairs. Where possible, it is recommended that isolation valves be installed so that
mains can be turned off from public right-of-way while repairs are made. It is recommended
that the installation of the valves be done between October 31 and April 1 when the irrigation
system is not in use.
It is recommended that an estimated preliminary budget of $156,000 be provided to complete
these improvements. This estimated budget is based on the installation of up to 52 valves at
$3,000 per installation. The number of proposed isolation valves recommended is based on a
review of the City's GIS data. It is further recommended that City staff identify final
locations of the isolation valve improvements and confirm the final budget for this work.
Northwest Commons Well and Pivot
The Northwest Commons Well is currently plumbed to serve the nearby irrigation pivot and
the City's irrigation system. It is recommended that the City install piping and valves near
the well that allow the irrigation pivot to be supplied from the system instead of just the well.
This new connection should be metered. The direct connection from the well to the pivot
should be abandoned. This will allow the City to use the Northwest Commons well on its
own schedule and allow the pivot owner to operate the pivot without operating the well. The
estimated project cost for this recommendation is approximately $68,000.
Telemetry Improvements
Based on discussions with City staff, it is recommended that the City upgrade
communication capacity along Powerline Road with the installation of a fiber optic line. The
fiber optic line would serve as a more reliable means of communication from the central
telemetry unit to the Powerline Well, Road 52 Well, and Northwest Commons Well. Having
two ways to communicate to the wells makes the system more reliable as well. The
estimated project cost for this recommendation is approximately $35,000.
Source and Storage Improvements
Recommendations for storage and irrigation well improvements are discussed below.

December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
Storage
The storage analysis presented in Section 3 found that the existing irrigation system reservoir
has adequate storage capacity for the future conditions described if the reservoir is operated
at a higher water level. It is also recommended that existing new water level sensing
equipment be repaired or replaced to obtain more accurate water level readings. The
estimated project cost for this recommendation is $10,000.
Irrigation Well Improvements
The results of the analysis presented in Section 3 were used to develop recommendations on
irrigation well assessment, rehabilitation, replacement, and monitoring. A discussion of
these recommendations is presented below.
Well Assessment and Rehabilitation Plan
The analysis presented in Section 3 was used to develop a well assessment and rehabilitation
plan. The plan prioritizes candidate wells for further assessment and potential rehabilitation
for the purposes of optimizing individual well performance and maintaining the value of the
City’s irrigation assets. This plan is developed to ensure that this asset remains in service for
the long term at minimal operating costs.
The main objective for rehabilitating a well is to restore or prevent losses in both production
capacity and well efficiency. Conditions routinely found to contribute to declining well
performance include incrustation, biofouling, physical plugging of formation or screen or
both, and corrosion. These conditions could be caused by inherent characteristics of the
aquifer, well design and construction, water quality, well operations, or combinations
thereof. Rehabilitation techniques used to address these conditions in attempts to restore or
recondition wells include:
Mechanical methods such as brushing, surging, and airlift pumping to loosen and
remove incrustation, organic material, and accumulated sediment
Chemical treatments designed to dissolve and weaken encrusting minerals and
biological slimes
Impulse generation methods (e.g., Hydropuls®) that generate high-pressure pulses
that loosen mineral and biological deposits in the well and adjacent formation. This
technology is typically used in combination with other mechanical and/or chemical
methods to increase its effectiveness
A combination of mechanical, chemical, and impulse generation well rehabilitation methods
are recommended for the following wells:

Northwest Commons
Island Estates
I-182
Powerline Road
The recommended order of activities is as follows:
1. Conduct a one-hour specific capacity test to establish baseline conditions pre-
rehabilitation and collect a groundwater quality sample for inorganic chemistry and
bacterial assessment.
2. Remove pumping equipment and install rehabilitation equipment.
3. Brush and surge well to loosen buildup and airlift pump to remove debris.
4. Tremie dissolved chemical solution into the water column and agitate by surging to
penetrate the formation and enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
5. Apply impulse generation technology.
6. Remove the loosened debris by airlift pumping.
7. Conduct a video survey of the well, disinfect the well, and reinstall pumping
equipment.
8. Conduct a one-hour specific capacity test to evaluate the effectiveness of the
rehabilitation and assess the post-rehabilitation well performance.
A combination of mechanical and chemical methods is recommended for the First Place and
Desert Estate Wells to address the minor mineral and biological deposits observed.
Activities to be performed would be those identified above, excluding the impulse generation
efforts.
Based on the information provided and relatively newer construction, the apparent conditions
of the Road 52 and Linda Loviisa Wells are considered good and no rehabilitation efforts are
recommended at this time. It is recommended that well video surveys be completed at these
wells to verify existing conditions and monitoring each well’s yield and drawdown. This
work will establish baseline performance conditions and monitor for potential performance
declines over time.
It is recommended that no rehabilitation work be completed for the Village at Pasco Heights
Well due to its age and poor condition. Based on an evaluation of the well rehabilitation is
not likely to adequately address the significant incrustation, poor casing condition, and
sanding conditions at this well. The recommended rehabilitation activities for each well are
summarized in Table 4-2.
Well Data Acquisition
Section 3 identified gaps in the available information concerning the City's existing irrigation
water supply wells. A list of recommendations to fill those data gaps was developed and is
presented in this section. Table 4-3 shows a summary of the proposed data acquisition

activities. It is assumed that the City has the resources necessary to complete the
recommended activities, so a project cost was not developed for this work.

presented below.
Village of Pasco Heights Well Replacement
It is recommended that a new well be drilled to replace the existing Village of Pasco Heights
Well. To confirm the timing and need for this improvement, it is recommended that the
well’s yield and drawdown be monitored to assess changes in its performance over time and
13-1444.407 Page 4-7 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
plan for replacement. The estimated project cost for a replacement well is approximately
$173,000. A detailed cost summary is provided in Appendix D.
Construction of New Irrigation Wells
Based on the assessment presented in Section 3, up to six new wells could be necessary.
These new irrigation wells would be a mixture of wells meant to replace some of the City's
existing irrigation wells and wells improve the City's irrigation system capacity. For
budgeting purposes, a project cost of approximately $616,000 per well has been developed.
A detailed cost summary is available in Appendix D.
The number of new irrigation wells that will be necessary will not be known until a well field
study and data acquisition have been completed. The capital improvements program
presented in this section assumes that all six wells will be necessary.
Well Houses
It is recommended that the City continue to improve its wells by enclosing them within well
houses. Enclosures minimize potential damage to equipment from exposure and reduce
noise levels. Well houses also improve the security of the well and add aesthetic value to the
vicinity. The estimated project cost for this improvement is approximately $65,000 per well
house.
Well Performance Monitoring Program
It is recommended that the City implement a monitoring program at all existing wells to
track well performance and plan for periodic well maintenance, rehabilitation, and potential
replacement. The recommended monitoring plan consists of bi-annual measurements of
specific capacity from each well. The specific capacity measurements should be made prior
to system start-up in the spring and following system shut-down in the fall. The process is
described below:
Measure the static water level from a common measuring point during a period when
the well has been idle.
Measure the pumping water level from the same measuring point after 30 and 60
minutes of pumping.
Maintain a constant pumping rate and record the flow rate at 30 and 60 minutes of
pumping.
Calculate the specific capacity for each well. The specific capacity is the pumping
rate divided by the amount of drawdown. Drawdown is calculated by subtracting the
static water level from the pumping water level.
The specific capacity measurements for each well should then be monitored over time to
evaluate the need for maintenance and rehabilitation. Water levels should also be recorded
13-1444.407 Page 4-8 Irrigation System Master Plan
December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
during periods when the well has been idle to assess whether apparent changes in specific
capacity are actually related to well performance or groundwater level declines in the aquifer.
Dry Systems
It is recommended that the City begin using its existing dry systems. According to
predictions based on hydraulic modeling, the City's existing irrigation system has the
hydraulic capacity to support the new systems. This operational change does not have any
associated capital cost as long as no new pipe is required to connect the dry systems to the
existing system.
Recommendations for Further Study and Planning
During the course of this study, opportunities for further study that could improve planning
efforts for the City's irrigation system were identified. This section presents those findings.
Well Field Study
It is recommended that a well field study be completed in order to determine the optimal
locations and sizes of new irrigation wells in the Linda Loviisa area. These wells will
increase the irrigation system capacity. A budget of $24,000 is recommended for this work.
Freshwater Mussels
It is recommended that the City conduct further investigation on the nature of the freshwater
mussel infestation in the western portion of the system near the Road 108 Pump Station.
Depending on the type of mussel, there may be federal or state regulations regarding
acceptable ways to clear the pipes. The mussels should be identified and the extent of the
infestation determined via television inspection or some other means. In the meantime, it is
recommended that the City decrease pressure at the Road 108 Pump Station or limit its use.
This may limit or halt the spread of the freshwater mussel colonization. A budget of $25,000
is recommended for this work.
Rate Structure Study
The City currently charges a flat rate to residential customers. Large customers are billed by
irrigated acre. Some of its larger customers are served and billed according to undocumented
verbal agreements. Industry experience has shown that the use of water under this rate
structure is relatively uncontrolled. It is recommended that the City undertake a rate study
and a financial review. The results of this work will assist the City in developing rates that
ensure that the current level of service is maintained and that funds are available for capital
projects and system growth. A budget of $25,000 is recommended for this work.

December 2013 Recommendations City of Pasco
K:\TAC_Projects\13\1444 - Pasco Water Resources Study\407 Plan Preparation\Irrigation System Master Plan\Section 4 - Recommendations.docx
Irrigation System Master Plan Update
As the City's irrigation system grows and additional water rights are acquired, the City
should re-evaluate its capital improvements plan and check on the performance of the
hydraulic system. This plan should be updated every five years or sooner to reflect major
system expansions or changes as well as any significant changes in water rights. As part of
this study it is recommended that the skeletonized hydraulic model be further developed to
include all system piping. A budget of $30,000 is recommended for this work.
Project Cost Estimates
Project cost estimates were developed for all recommended irrigation system improvements.
The project cost estimates include construction cost with a 10 percent contingency, sales tax,
and a 35 percent allowance for administration, engineering, and legal services. The cost
estimates developed are commensurate with a Class 4 cost estimate as defined by the
American Association of Cost Engineers. The actual cost can vary from 30 percent under to
50 percent over the estimated cost. Appendix D includes data and detailed breakdowns of
the project costs for the recommended system improvements.
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. For purposes of future cost estimate updating,
the September 2013 ENR CCI for Seattle, Washington is 10147.96.
Summary
This section presented recommendations for capital improvements to the irrigation system
and maintenance programs. These recommendations were based on analysis of the system as
presented in Section 3. Tables 4-4 and 4-5 include tabulated summaries of all recommended
improvements and their associated estimated project costs. The recommendations are
separated into near-term improvements and long-term improvements. Near-term
improvements are those which should be completed within the next one to five years. Long-
term improvements should be completed in six to twenty years. Figure 4-1 shows the City's
irrigation system with recommended improvements highlighted and the dry systems
operational.

throughout the City of Pasco. Approximately 360 residential housing units were included
in the study representing 16 neighborhoods. Neighborhoods were selected to represent a
cross section of older and newer construction, with both separate irrigation systems, and
those lots dependent on the City domestic water system as the source of supply for
irrigation.
This study represents an update of a Water Usage Study prepared by the City of Pasco in
September 2001. In various locations throughout this technical memorandum, information
from September 2001 Water Usage Study is quoted.
Water records for each residential lot selected for this study were obtained from the City of
Pasco Finance Department for the period of January 2005 through June 2007. After the water
records were obtained and entered into a spreadsheet, the records were purged to remove
inconsistent data that could have affected the analysis and evaluation.
Unlike the September 2001 Water Usage Study, this evaluation is primarily based on the
residential lot rather than population.

The winter average daily residential lot water usage varies between older and newer
neighborhoods. In older neighborhoods, winter usage averaged 237 gpd while in newer
neighborhoods, winter usage averaged 155 gpd (average of 206 gpd for both older and
newer neighborhoods).
For those neighborhoods using the City domestic water system for residential lot irrigation,
average daily domestic water usage was calculated at 883 gpd per unit, and the summer
average daily water usage was calculated at 1,473 gpd per unit. The older Desert Plateau
neighborhood had the highest summer average daily water usage at 2,939 gpd per unit.
Older neighborhoods in central and east Pasco averaged 1,107 gpd per unit for the summer
monthly period.
Chart 2 identifies each of the 16 neighborhoods included in this evaluation and the average
usage of City domestic water by neighborhood in ac-ft/month during the winter (Dec-Feb)
and summer (June-Sept) periods.

The average monthly domestic water consumption for all lots in the City was calculated at
0.0412 acre-ft per month and 0.4880 acre-ft per year. For those neighborhoods utilizing a
separate irrigation system for irrigation, the average monthly domestic water consumption
was calculated at 0.0191 acre-ft per month and 0.2249 acre-ft per year. In neighborhoods
relying on the City domestic water supply system for irrigation, the average monthly
domestic water consumption was calculated at 0.0729 acre-feet per month and 0.8264 acre-
feet per year. The older Desert Plateau neighborhood has the highest monthly average and
annual average usage of domestic water at 0.1540 acre-feet per month, and 1.7836 acre-feet
per year respectfully. The central and east Pasco neighborhoods, which rely on the City
domestic water supply system for irrigation had a monthly average domestic water
consumption of 0.0644 acre-feet per month, and an annual water consumption of 0.7229
acre-feet per year.

The September 2001 Water Usage Study evaluated 10 houses in 8 neighborhoods (total of 80
homes) throughout the City of Pasco. Chart 8 lists the 8 neighborhoods from the September
2001 report, and also identifies the results from this Residential Water Use Study separated
into the same 8 neighborhoods.

As Chart 8 points out, there are some differences between the two studies. These
differences are likely the results of selecting more residential units in each neighborhood in
this Residential Water Use Study, and the use of different residents within each neighborhood
in each evaluation. Desert Plateau is shown with 2 listings in Chart 8. Desert Plateau – 1 is
an older neighborhood which utilizes the City domestic water supply system for irrigation
water, while Desert Plateau – 2 is a newer neighborhood with smaller lot size and fewer
records available for analysis. One of the calculations presented in the September 2001
report was the estimated percentage of City water used indoors vs. outdoors for those
neighborhoods where no separate irrigation supply system was available. Chart 9 compares
the results of this Residential Water Use Study with the September 2001 report.

The September 2001 Water Usage Study noted that the Franklin Conservation District
estimated that home lawns accounted for 37.7 inches (3.08 ac-ft or 23 gallons per sq-ft) of
water annually. With an anticipated loss of up to 20%, the application rate per lawn area
would increase to 3.7 ac-ft or 27.7 gallons per sq-ft.
In both the Desert Plateau – 1 and Sun Willows neighborhoods, irrigation application rates
are much higher than those anticipated by the Franklin Conservation District. The average
application rate for irrigated lot area for the entire City of 5.31 ac-ft exceeds the anticipated
application rate of 3.7 ac-ft (including losses) by approximately 44%.
WATER USE STUDY FINDINGS
The following represents findings of this Residential Water Use Study and the evaluation of
water consumption throughout the City of Pasco.
1. Residential Indoor Water Usage.
In the older residential neighborhoods, daily domestic indoor water usage averaged 237
gallons per day (annual usage of 0.2655 acre-feet per year). For the new residential
neighborhoods, daily domestic indoor water usage averaged 155 gallons per day
(annual usage of 0.1736 acre-feet per year), or 53% less than older neighborhoods. For

the new residential neighborhoods, it is highly likely that the plumbing fixtures and
devices used have an improved efficiency over those in older neighborhoods.
2. Residential Outdoor Water Usage.
For the 16 neighborhoods evaluated in this Residential Water Use Study, the volume of
water consumed for domestic purposes was calculated at less than 50% of the total
volume consumed for domestic plus irrigation. At the seven neighborhoods, utilizing
the domestic water supply system for irrigation, the volume of water consumed for
domestic purposes was calculated at about 30% of the total volume consumed for
domestic plus irrigation (Over twice as much water was consumed by irrigation of a lot
than was used for domestic purposes by each residential unit).
In older residential areas (central and east Pasco), irrigation of the landscaped area of
each lot was similar to that anticipated by the Franklin Conservation District (3.7 acre-ft
per year) at 3.63 acre-ft per year (central) and 3.42 acre-ft per year (east) respectively.
The central and east Pasco area residential units are of older construction, landscaping is
considered to be mature and well established, and residents are generally considered to
have moderate incomes.
In newer residential areas (Sun Willows and Desert Plateau), irrigation of the
landscaped area of each lot far exceeded the Franklin Conservation District anticipated
average of 3.7 acre-ft per year. The Sun Willows neighborhood consists of relatively
small landscaped areas (Average of 4,900 square feet) in a newly developed area.
Residents are generally considered to have higher incomes. Irrigation application rates
in the Sun Willows neighborhood were calculated at 5.89 acre-feet per year or nearly
60% greater than the Franklin Conservation District anticipated average.
The Desert Plateau neighborhood evaluated for this study consists of residents with
above average lot size, where income levels are generally considered to be high.
Landscaping is generally 3 to 5 years old and irrigation application rates were calculated
at 8.30 acre-feet per year. This application rate is 124% greater than the Franklin
Conservation District anticipated average (3.7 acre-feet per year). Even if the actual
irrigated area of lots within this Desert Plateau neighborhood were larger (by 25% to
10,000 square feet) than the average (8,100 square feet) calculated in the September 2001
Water Usage Study for Desert Plateau, the irrigation application rate to landscaped areas
would be 6.72 acre-feet per acre or over 80% greater than the Franklin Conservation
District anticipated average.
APPLICATION TO WATER SYSTEM PLAN
Based on this evaluation, the update of the City of Pasco Water System Plan will utilize
the residential water consumption figures shown in Chart 11 for the projection of future
domestic and irrigation supply demands for the existing and future residential
neighborhoods throughout the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.

costs assume PVC irrigation pipe. Construction costs represented total estimated
construction cost per linear foot (LF) of pipe and included sales tax. A 10 percent
contingency was added to bid costs to calculate a construction subtotal. To calculate project
costs, a 35 percent contingency was added to account for administrative, legal, and
engineering costs. Table D-1 summarizes irrigation main project costs.

Well Rehabilitation and Assessment
The total project cost for well rehabilitation work is estimated at $225,500. Well
rehabilitation costs are summarized in Table D-2 and are based on the following
assumptions:
New pump and motor costs are not included
The City will conduct the specific capacity testing recommended at each well
The City will conduct well video surveys
Administrative, legal, and engineering costs for this project are estimated at 50
percent of the construction cost instead of 35 percent to account for additional on-site
engineering representation associated with rehabilitation activities. Rehabilitation
activities typically require more on-site representation than construction of new
facilities.

Village of Pasco Heights Well Replacement
The total project cost to replace the Village of Pasco Heights Well is estimated at $172,400.
Itemized costs are summarized in Table D-3 and are based on the following assumptions:
The well pump and motor in use at the existing Village of Pasco Heights Well are in
good condition and can be reused in the new well.
Costs for infrastructure expansion for connection to existing water system are not
included
No permitting costs are included
No cost for a well video survey is included since the City can perform the survey
The total cost includes:
Aquifer and well performance testing (e.g., step-rate and constant-rate pumping tests)
Plumbness and alignment testing
Water quality analysis
100 feet of 10-inch diameter PVC discharge piping to connect to the existing
irrigation system
General New Irrigation Well Construction
A general-use project cost was developed for use in budgeting construction of a new
irrigation water supply well. The total estimated project cost is $616,000. Itemized costs are
summarized in Table D-4. This estimated project cost can be used on a per-well basis and is
based on the following generalized assumptions:
The total depth of the new well is 200 feet
The diameter of the well is 16 inches
The length of the stainless steel screen is 20 feet
The pump is a vertical turbine type pump with a 150-HP motor equipped with a
variable-speed drive
500 feet of 10-inch diameter PVC discharge piping will be needed to connect the well
to the existing irrigation system
The City will perform well video surveys
The total cost includes:
Aquifer and well performance testing (e.g., step-rate and constant-rate pumping tests)
Plumbness and alignment testing
Water quality analysis
It is possible that individual well construction costs may vary from those presented here due
to fluctuations factors such as depth, diameter, production rates, aquifer characteristics, and

hydraulic conditions. To take these variations into account, a contingency of 20 percent was
used to estimate the construction cost of the well. The project cost included in Table D-4 is a
representative cost used for budgeting purposes only.
