PEC outlines short-term sewer service concept for Area A (160 acres)
Summary
PEC described a short-term concept to serve Area A — about 160 acres — by splitting flows to basins 2 and 3 so Basin 1 could support remaining loads under KDHE assumptions; residential loading was noted as simpler than industrial.
Kaufman presented a short-term service concept for Area A that would split new flows between basins 2 and 3 so Basin 1 could support remaining loading. He characterized Area A as about 160 acres and noted that, if developed as residential, KDHE assumptions (roughly 10 people per acre or about three units per acre depending on housing type) indicate the system could support that level of growth with the proposed short-term layout.
He added that industrial land uses would change loading assumptions because some businesses are large buildings with relatively low water use while others can be far higher; therefore the recommended short-term concept is sensitive to the ultimate land-use mix. Kaufman recommended continued refinement with developer input and localized metering data to override assumptions where available.
