Hydropneumatic tank . This tank is needed to buffer pressure
spikes within our distribution system thereby reducing pump
cycling , . water hammer and wear on our electric motors by reduction
in the frequency of start stop demand . A Hydropneumatic tank is
the simplest and most economical way to meet these needs .
Attached you will find a proposal from the firm of Reese ,

permitting and bidding of this tank . Reese , Macon was selected by
the C .C .N .A . process for engineering on our 2 Million Gallon Water
Reservoir which was constructed under budget . Mr . Reese has also
performed engineering services for us on our water main
relocations on Old Dixie Highway and drilling of Well 24 , both of
which were also engineered and constructed under budget .
I wish to seek Council approval and authorization for you to
execute the attached Agreement for this important project . Please
