Hermann Water Study
The development of the commercial and residential community in and around the City of Hermann in recent years has placed additional demands on the existing water distribution and storage system.
Archer applied and received funding through Missouri Department of Natural Resources to evaluate Hermann's existing water distribution system, evaluate the City's existing needs, estimate the future demands of the system, and identify the facilities and improvements needed to meet these present and future demands.
The existing water distribution system consists of four separate wells, three individual water storage tanks and a water transmission and distribution system. During a one-year period in 2004-2005, water was provided at an average rate of 305,000-GPD to residential, commercial and industrial customers located with the city limits.
Management of the water distribution system is the responsibility of the city administrator. A superintendent of the water and wastewater takes care of daily operation and maintenance of the system.
A report was compiled to include the review of existing water supply facilities within the city limits; provide projections of future water supply requirements for domestic consumption and fire fighting; identify water supply, storage, and distribution facilities necessary to meet existing and future needs; estimate the cost of the needed improvements and consider scheduling, financing and implementation of the needed improvements.
