Subject:Re: Halfway valves twin tanks S4 and system configuration

Hi Peter,

Please read the proposal again especially the first sentence "we have discussed...." that includes you Peter.
We discussed and agreed on this in 2019 and you confirmed that you wanted to fit a halfway outlet into both tanks and run another water pipe under the road. That makes two pipes under the road from the twin tanks at S4. This is a follow up from where we started back then.

 The proposal is a reminder and involves the installation of one length of 1½" poly pipe running from one of the existing tanks, down under the road through the existing, small 250 mm diameter drain pipe then joining up with the existing poly pipe. As originally discussed. The expense is minimal. There might be three sites on one line and two on the other line. To assist your memory I have simplified the accompanying sketch as best I can (I have no reference other than the 2020 borders drawing). I have attached the sketch to this message.

Hi Wayne,
Sites 8 and 9 are currently connected to a 1½" line from Site 5 concrete tank. Site 5 has a 1½" line going to it. We recently installed a 1½" line to Site 7 with the intention of soon adding another 50 or so meters to take it close to the house. We are also working on installing a fire riser at Site 4 with fittings already purchased, including the required 1½" line.We have the fire risers for all sites that currently do not have them and are hoping this to be a task that we will be able to implement over the next couple of months. This includes fire risers for sites 10 and 12 that currently do not have them.

I see many jobs to be done that in my mind have a higher priority than the two tanks being isolated from one another including an extra tank for sites 11 and 13 to 16 which currently have the least amount of water storage for all sites.
