Description:
The water supply booster pump station is a component of the reticulation system and will pump to
an elevated water supply storage tank upon demand. The operation of the pump will be governed by
a low water level signal from the tank.
Objective:
The objective of the water supply booster pump station is to provide a water supply that meets the
customer demands for reliability of supply and flow.

Component Description:
1. Pump Station Site
The pump station site is to be located within a reserve in favour of the
Goulburn Valley Region Water Corporation.
The pump site is to be selected where a sufficient water supply is provided at
peak periods for the pump to operate (water pressure and flow). Advice is to
be sought from Goulburn Valley Waters Planning and Project Development Section.
The site is not to be encumbered by existing or proposed overhead power
lines and is to provide satisfactory coverage for monitoring and control via
SCADA.
The site must be accessible by vehicles by means of an all weather road. The
minimum width of the access is 3 metre wide and sufficient space is to be
provided for a light truck vehicle to turn and for at least 1 parking space.
The surrounding area of the pump station site is to be covered with a
minimum of 100mm compacted crushed rock or similar approved material to
provide an all weather access to the site.
The layout of the pump station must ensure that the available space for
maintenance purposes is maximised. A minimum of 1 metre clearance
between all assets and the reserve title boundary must be achieved.
2. Electricity Supply
The capacity of the electricity supply system needs to be investigated to
ensure that there is an electricity supply capable of meeting pump station
loading within electricity supply regulations for both Amperage and Voltage.
If a development project, then the connection to the grid is to be arranged by
the consultant including the meeting of associated costs as part of the
project. These include:
Costs to hook into grid
Expected running costs of pump annually and life time
Pump wiring requirements,
Generator change over ability
All weather control box

3. Switchboard
The electrical cabinet and switchboard is to be in accordance with the GVW
Standard Specification for Switchboards. This is available upon request via
email to [email protected]
GVW General Electrical Specification
GVW Booster Pump Station Specific Electrical/Requirements
4. Perimeter Fence
The site perimeter is to be fenced with a 1.80m high black plastic coated
chain mesh security fencing around the complete site boundary.
A minimum 3m wide black plastic coated chain mesh security hinged double
gate with padlock keyed is to be provided at the entrance to the site.
Minimize aesthetic issues for neighbouring properties and the general public.
This may require perimeter buffering planting or screens and should be
investigated with Council and local residents. Please refer to the GVW Building
Aesthetics Design Manual.
5. Pumps
All booster pump stations that boost water supply to an elevated water supply
storage tank are to equipped with 2 No. complete and identical pumpsets,
(duty and standby) and are to be rated to operate in an open weather
environment.
The selection of the pump and the design of the inlet water main to the
storage tank should minimise the pressure spike to customers to 5 metres
head, if there is a single inlet/outlet pipeline to the tank. The preference is
dedicated inlet and outlet water mains.
The noise generated from the start, stop and running of the pumps is to be
considered and must comply with EPA requirements. If noise is an issue to
neighbouring properties, then sound attenuation measures, such as an
enclosure should be considered.

Pumps should be located adjacent to the access/parking area, so that there is
unrestricted access to pumps to allow lifting as required using a small GVW
crane truck.
Pumps and pipework are to be secured to a suitable concrete slab, which
drains surface water adequately.
6. Pump Controls
The pumps are to operate on a duty call and duty stop set point from the
storage tank. There is to be a telemetry (radio) link between pumps station
and storage tank.
Cable is not to be used when the distance between the pumps and the tanks
is greater than 100m.
The pumps should have an automatic changeover between the duty and
standby.
The preferred arrangement is for the water level in the storage tank to be
relayed to the pump station, which displays all information and is connected
to SCADA.
7. Pipework
All pipework in the vicinity of the pumps is to be above ground and comprise
flanged or welded stainless steel or flanged DICL pipework.
Inlet and outlet pipes to be cast into the 100mm thick reinforced concrete
slab.
All below ground pipe work within the pump station site must be DICL
material.

8. Electromagnetic Flow Meter
A magnetic flow meter is to be installed on the discharge pipework from the
pumps and located above ground.
Installation must comply with the electromagnetic flow meter design guideline.
The discharge flow rate is to be displayed on the electrical cabinet and also
linked to SCADA, so that it can be viewed remotely.
9. Standard Drawings and Site Photos
Site layout plan for Avenel Park Water Supply Booster Pump Station
(JWS/2062)
A post construction review of the pump station indicates the following changes
should be made for future similar pump stations:
Control cabinet is located between the pumps and the access. This requires any pumps to be lifted over the control cabinet for maintenance
and repairs. The control cabinet could have been located at the other
end of the pump slab.
Aesthetics Neighbouring land owners have complained that the pump station is unsightly, and shrubs are to be planted along the frontage to
the pump station. This could have been addressed during the design
stage, by requesting that the developer get approval for the pump
station from Council and the adjacent land owners. Please refer to GVW
