Potable Water
Potable water
Potable water is available and sufficient to
support the full development of the entire Fort Hancock.
The Lessee will be required to install a new water meter
provided by the park and billed to the Lessee. Also, the
Lessee will be required to have the water service line
inspected and tested by a qualified licensed plumber and
an inspection report with recommendations must be
submitted to the park for approval. The report must also
indicate whether the current water line size is adequate
for the proposed use of the building, and identify the
material of the existing water line. Any defective, leaking,
or undersized water lines must be repaired or replaced
before the Lessee occupies the building. Water lines that
require replacement must be replaced with copper. Areas
of open cut construction will require NEPA and Section
106 compliance. Archeology monitoring shall be paid for
by the Lessee. Asphalt and concrete repair and ground
repair, i.e. seeding costs, must be borne by the Lessee and
will be subject to the NEPA/106 compliance process. Any
repairs will require NPS approval of plan and schedule.
All work must be completed according to the most up
to date New Jersey Code and constructed to industry
standards.
annual maximum for potable water is 50 million gallons.
We currently average 100,000 gallons per day. Both
buildings connect to a 6 inch water main. Both buildings
are served by 1.5 inch pipes. Service to Building 27 will
require an upgrade in service. Applicants should propose
how they will upgrade service to Building 27 and address
the proposed increase in the diameter of pipes servicing
Building 27. For both buildings, Applicants should
propose how they intend to replace any non-copper
plumbing components.
