Byron Jackson submersible pumps. It is a major supply for the north end of our
utility service area (north of 100th Street).This portion of our service area has a
daily average demand of 2.0 MGD with an average of 0.7 MGD coming from the
Stilly source. The other 1.2 MGD is supplied by Edward Springs; and
C. WHEREAS, during the summer months, the average daily supply
from the Ranney Well is in excess of 1 MGD with a peak of 2.2 MGD.Typically
both pumps are running during the high demand season.

fire flow and pressure throughout the north end of our service area. An average
pressure of 58 psi is provided with one pump running, however, has been
dropping to approximately 43 Ibs. during the high demand portion of the day. This
pressure drop has caused complaints from the Navy Support Complex and other
large commercial customers in previous years.Typically this pressure drop is
eliminated when both pumps are running during peak hours; NOW,
