Burke Fire District #1, East Burke, Vermont

Tata & Howard worked with the District and assisted them to come into compliance with the deficiencies noted in their Sanitary Survey. This District was once a private water company with numerous water quality, pressure, and supply issues and it finally was turned into a Fire District. The system has 45 connections and is on a water connection ban from the State. Tata & Howard prepared a Water Supply Feasibility Study with regards to addressing all of the systems issues, which are noted below:

  • Issues with the spring source and its spring house structure
  • Issues with inadequate system pressure at a few connections
  • No disinfection system or stand by disinfection system
  • Lack of source metering
  • Lack of source overflow metering
  • Lack of auxiliary well approval
  • Lack of system flushing hydrants
  • Lack of good water system map
  • Inadequate supply during summer months due to reduction in spring source
  • Failed coliform tests requiring disinfection

The solutions developed included the following:

  • New spring house roof and structure for disinfecting
  • Computer modeling for alternatives to address inadequate flows and pressures
  • Evaluation of the emergency well with Hoffer Consulting
  • Development of a source metering vault and system
  • Disinfection system for stand-by disinfection
  • Plan for metering the spring overflow
  • Alternatives for water system storage
  • Alternative to connection to other water system source
  • Flushing hydrants installation options
