St. Clair Water Study
The City of St. Clair currently has plans established to develop several tracts of land in the northern extent of the city, along Missouri Highway 47.
Archer was retained by the city to evaluate the existing water distribution and supply system, evaluate the city's existing needs, estimate the future demands on the system, and identify the facilities and improvements needed to meet the present and future demands of the city.
The City of St. Clair's existing water distribution system consists of six existing municipal wells, four individual water storage tanks, a Supervisory control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system interfaced with all wells and water towers located within the city limits, and a water transmission and distribution system.
In 2007, a seventh well was completed. 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 by Archer to include the evaluation of the existing water supply and distribution facilities within the city limits, provide projections of future water supply requirements for domestic, commercial and industrial areas, identify supply and distribution infrastructure improvements necessary to meet existing and future needs, estimate of the cost of the needed improvements, consideration of scheduling and implementation of the needed improvements and to determine user rates and financing to subsidize the proposed improvements.
