Should Genesee County Continue to Rely Solely on a Single 72;; Diameter Water Main to Supply Its Water System or Should It Pursue an Alternative in Order to Insure a Safe Reliable Supply

[摘要] The intent of this paper is to examine the current method for supplying a potable backup water supply for the Genesee County water distribution system in the event that the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department’s (DWSD) single 72;; diameter transmission main fails. This main feeds the entire County and City of Flint’s water distribution systems. It will then propose and evaluate feasible alternatives of operation in the event of main failure. The best alternative will then be selected, and an analysis of how such a project would be financed by the County will conclude the paper.
