3.5.3 System Connections
There are 30 unmetered connections to the system.28 connections are residential and 2 are commercial.
3.5.4 Fire Hydrants
There are approximately eleven fire hydrants installed in the system even though the system is not
currently capable of deliveringfire flow to the system.
3.5.5 Water Valves
There are isolation valves at crosses and tees throughout the system to allow isolation of portions of the
system to allow work to be completed as needed.The valves in the system are shown in Figure 3-4.It is
reported that these isolation valves have not been regularly operated since they were installed in 2009,
due to a lack of staffing.
3.5.6 Cross Connection Control
The water system does not currently have a cross connection control program since the Atomic City was
unincorporated in 2020 and is now under the jurisdiction of Bingham County.It is recommended that the
system develop a program and enforce it.
3.6 WATER PRODUCTION/CONSUMPTION
The primary water source for the system is groundwater from well #01.Well #02 does not currently have a pump
installed.The total water production capacity of the system equals the pumping capacity of the well.Very little
data is availablefor the City's water consumption because there are no flow meters on service connections and
the flow meter on the discharge side of the tank does not always accurately record the flow.Table 3-2 shows
the available flow based on the pump curve data available.
Table 3-2:Water Production Capacity

3.6.1 Well #01
Well #01 is located at the well/boosterhouse.The well pumps directly into the water storage tank,has a
depth of 638-feet with a 10-inch casing extending to a depth of 38-feet with lava rock the rest of the depth.
The well has a 25 hp submersible pump that is installed at a depth of approximately 630-feet below
ground surface (bgs).The submersible pump is a 480V three phase that is controlled by a vfd in the
well/booster house.The pump turns on when the storage tank calls for water through a hydro ranger
water level sensor.
3.6.2 Well #02
Well #02 is located southeast of well #01 approximately 800-feet on a well tot.The property is not fenced,
and the well is the only thing on the lot.The well has a depth of approximately 670-feet bgs with an 8-
inch casing installed to a depth of 60-feet bgs.The well had a 5-inch pvc liner installed in it as it is
assumed that the well was drilled and is not straight or has a rock that is protruding enough to rub the
electrical wires causing a short and the solution at the time was to install a pvc liner to protect the wires
from the rocks.The 5-inch pvc liner was removed in March of 2022.The well currently does not have a
pump installed in it but originally had a 25 hp pump installed before the pvc liner and supposedly had a

10 hp pump installed after the pvc liner.It is unknown why there is not a pump installed in the well at thistime.
3.6.3 Water Balance
The system does not keep regular records on water production or tank outflow because the meters havetobereadmanuallyandmultiplemetersdonotworkorarenotinstalled.The amount of water loss in thesystemisdifficulttodetermineduetotheinaccurateproductionlogsandthelackofresidentialwatermeterconsumptionrecords.
Factors that could contribute to system water loss include:
Leaky pipelines and services:The majority of the pipelines are 15 years old.Improperinstallation,post installation inter-ties,and other utility work can also create leaks.
3.6.4 Water Usage
The propeller meter that was installed in the transmission line from well #01 to the water storage tank
measures water pumped into the tank and ultimately the water used by the system.There is limited dataavailableontheflowpumpedintothetank.For the purpose of this study the water usage of 125 gallonsperpersonperdaywillbeusedwhichisslightlyhigherthanthetypical100gallonsperpersonperday.For each home the water usage is calculated assuming approximately 2.5 people per home.As there are28connectedhomescurrentlywithinthewatersystemtheADDofthesystemis8,750 gpd.

3.7 DESIGN WATER USAGE RATES
Because of the variation of water use on an annual and daily basis,peaking factors are used in evaluating watersystemoperatingcharacteristics.Peaking factors are multipliers applied to standard demands.The AverageDayDemand(ADD),Maximum Day Demand (MDD),and Peak Hour Demand (PHD)can be related using peakingfactors.Where detailed water usage records exist,these factors can be determined directly from the collecteddataandcomparedtotypicalvalues.Where detailed water use data are not available,peaking factors are usedandarebasedonavailabledata,the size of the community,and usage in the area and region.
The ADD is estimated as the total volume of water used during a year divided by 365 days.To estimate futuredemandsbasedonpopulationprojections,the ADD is typically expressed in terms of gallons per capita per day(gpod).

October 25,2022
Dear Residents of Atomic City,
To follow up Bingham County's notification letter,Blake Lyle and I have purchased the former city's
water system.I am in the process of applying for the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity
needed to operate the system.The service area will remain the same but we are proposing to raise the
monthlyrate to $55.00 per meter per month.Meters that are non-flowing we would like to reduce to
$27.50 per meter per month.Commercial accounts will not change.
Public Utility Commission phone number:208-334-0300
Mailingaddress:
Commission Secretary
Idaho Public Utilities Commission
PO Box 83720
Boise,ID 83720-0074
We will be canceling the City trash service effective December 1,2022.PSI has said they need 14 or
more residents to sign up for service before they will agree to individualpick up service.Their phone
number is 208-529-8084 if you would like to speak with them about their services.
I've included with this letter a new agreement for service.Please fill it out and return it with your
November payment.
We look forward to workingwith you!
Thank you and Have a great day!
