Plant/Process Description:
The Dunlap Water Treatment Plant operates a 2.0
MGD plant. Raw water is drawn from the
Sequatchie River and pumped through a 16" raw
water main to a 7.5 million gallon raw storage
basin. The raw water is then coagulated and
treated through an upflow clarifier and mixed
media filtered. After filtration the finished
water is filter again through carbon contactors.
Disinfection and fluoridation are the last two
processes before the water is placed in the .5 mg
clearwell.
Industrial Park Reservoir
In 1967 the City of Dunlap constructed the
infrastructure for the Industrial Park located
off Industrial Road. This consisted of water,
wastewater, and natural gas services. As for
water a 850,000 gallons steel reservoir was
constructed northwest of Tram Trail and booster
pump station just off Highway 127.
In 1995 this reservoir was repainted and a lead
abatement program initiated due to lead primer
that had been used in the initial construction.
South Ridge Reservoir
Due to residential growth in 1985 the City of
Dunlap constructed a 500,000 gallon steel
reservoir to serve the resident of south Dunlap
and the ridge top areas. This allowed the
elimination of two hydropneumatic pump stations
located off Highway 127 south of Dunlap and Hill
Drive.
Central Tank
In 1996 the City of Dunlap replaced the original
150,000 gallon tank, with a 1,000,000 gallon
concrete reservoir. This reservoir, which was
constructed by The Crom Corporation will reserve
the needs of the new treatment plant which should
begin construction in the year 2000.
2.0 MGD Treatment Plant
In July 2000, the Dunlap Water System purchased
16.25 next to the existing water treatment plant
from Mr. & Mrs. Daniel Lamb. Construction of the
treatment facility then began with Phase 1, a
500,000 gallon disinfection contact tank built by
the Crom Corporation, in fall of 2001. Phase 2,
was completed in 2004 with the plant being
constructed by W. Rodgers Company.
Blue Sewanee Tank & Pump Station
The tank and pump station located north of Dunlap
was a combined effort between the Pikeville Water
System and the Dunlap Water System. The Pikeville
System had experienced problems on a number of
occasions with their well source and needed an
alternate supply. The System had received
emergency monies to connect to Dunlap.
In the agreement Dunlap received a 1,000,000
gallon tank and pump station along with several
miles of main line. Dunlap agreed to provide
labor to install the water mains, to reduce the
cost and keep the project within budgeted limits.
Properties were purchased in December 2001 and
February of 2002 to located these system
additions. Line construction will be completed in
mid 2002 with the Dunlap System meter located in
the Pailo Community.
