Briceland CSD Water Supply Enhancement Project
Project Overview
Basics
Briceland CSD Water Supply Enhancement Project
- Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
- Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
- Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
- Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation
NCRP Urban and Multibenefit Drought Relief Grant
Implementation
BCSD is a rural CSD that provides its customers drinking water via an antiquated treatment and distribution system that utilizes some of its original components that date back to the 1880’s. Many components of the system are outdated, undersized, leaking, or have failed since they were installed. The proposed water supply enhancement project, includes improvements to the water storage, transmission, and fire suppression systems, to enhance Briceland's drought resiliency and autonomy. The project increases water storage and firefighting capabilities as well as reduces water losses.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The major components of the proposed project include: a 100,000 gallon water tank plumbed to supply water to both the water treatment system and the fire suppression storage tanks; 7,000 feet of 2-inch diameter raw water transmission line connecting the source spring to the water treatment plant, 2,200 feet of 6-inch diameter fire suppression water line connecting the fire suppression water storage tanks to the town fire hydrant network; water transmission line components including mechanical float valves, gate valves, pressure and air relief valves, pressure gauges, and flow meters; site fencing for the slow sand filtration and water storage facilities; a low water level and high flow alarm system; a 140 square foot structure for housing the new alarm system/equipment; and a flow controlled chlorine injector.

Project Types
Project Types
The project will improve firefighting capacity through increased fire flow rate which will enhance the ability of the BCSD to deliver fire suppression water via a 6-inch diameter pipe instead of the existing 2-inch diameter pipe.
The project will implement water supply infrastructure in a disadvantaged community that will increase water storage capacity from 60,000 gallons to 160,000 gallons.
The project includes a litter cleanup and through efficiency upgrades and new infrastructure will reduce water demands on the environment, thus enhancing watershed conditions through increased water availability.
This will enhance the ability of community to fight its own fires and
provide drinking water during the extreme weather conditions associated with climate change. The project will also deliver water in an energy independent manner (using no electricity) by relying on gravity and solar power.
