Locations & Distances Where is the nearest water supply and how long does it take to get there? Dry Hydrant (263rd & 103rd South) 1.65 miles Garden Plain 4.75 miles Conway Springs 6.54 miles Clearwater 9.14 miles Dry Hydrant at Lake Afton 10.09 miles Station #35 13.98 miles Goddard 16.64 miles Station #34 16.72 miles Cheney 17.81 miles Station #17 20.73 miles Station #31 21.99 miles
Water Shuttle Operations Tender Cycle Time = 10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes each additional mile (Calculated one way and not for a round trip) Example #1: Viola to Conway Springs: 6.5 miles travel distance (round up) 10 minutes the first mile + 12 minutes for six miles Tender Cycle Time = 22 minutes Example #2: Viola to Clearwater: 9.4 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 18 minutes for nine miles Tender Cycle Time = 28 minutes Example #3: Viola to 103rd S. & 263rd West: 2 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes for the last mile Tender Cycle Time = 12 minutes
Water Shuttle Operations Tenders Required = Tender Cycle Time X GPM Flow Tender Capacity Example #1: 28 minutes X 1000 GPM = 11.2 Tenders 2500 Gallons (Round Up) 28 minutes X 650 GPM = 7.2 Tenders 2500 Gallons Example #2: 22 minutes X 1000 GPM = 8.8 Tenders 2500 Gallons 22 minutes X 650 GPM = 5.7 Tenders 2500 Gallons Example #3: 12 minutes X 1000 GPM = 4.8 Tenders 2500 Gallons 12 minutes X 650 GPM = 3.1 Tenders 2500 Gallons (Consider one additional tender for safety margin!) = # of Tenders Required
