26-004 Groundwater Wells 4 & 5

The City of Flowery Branch Wells 4 and 5 Project will bring two existing wells online to enhance the City¿s water supply system. The work includes construction of a chemical feed building, installation of new water mains, and reconditioning of the existing wells. Site work will involve traditional development and utility construction within both City right-of-way and property, as well as GDOT rights-of-way, including demolition, grading, drainage, and erosion control. All GDOT encroachments will be properly permitted. Water main extensions will be installed using horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and open-cut trenching methods. Work includes a 4-inch DIP HDD crossing (±114 LF) and abandonment of an existing 2-inch main (±103 LF) within GDOT right-of-way. Approximately 1,400 LF of new 8-inch main will be installed along Railroad Street and Cantrell Road with tie-in to Cemetery Road, and another 1,000 LF of 8-inch main will be added along Vireo Drive. Well head lines will range from 4- to 6-inch DIP and vary in lengths. The chemical feed building will contain separate sodium hypochlorite and fluoride rooms, a pipe gallery, and associated well houses. One 12-inch and one 8-inch well will be reconditioned, tested, and equipped with permanent pumps. All facilities will be enclosed within a secure perimeter fence. This project is approved by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (EPD). A GDOT Utility Encroachment Permit has been obtained for HDD and waterline abandonment, with modifications pending. The contractor will coordinate and pay applicable fees to Georgia Power for pole relocations and to Atlanta Gas Light for gas service to the auxiliary power supply.
