Subject: WPR Plat 3C Booster Pump Station: Pump Station 4 - Design Memorandum
Wasatch Peaks Ranch Water System #15044
INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide an explanation of the accompanying construction drawings
of the Wasatch Peaks Ranch Plat 3C Water Booster Pump Station or named Pump Station 4. The water
pump station plans are being submitted for approval from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality
(UDEQ). The goal for the project is to begin construction in summer-2025.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Wasatch Peaks Ranch (WPR) Development is a 15.1 square mile property northeast of Salt
Lake City within Morgan County, Utah. The project will include a private low-density residential community
with private recreational amenities. The project is zoned as a Resort Special District (RSD) and approved
for up to 750 equivalent residential connections (ERC). The residential and commercial developments and
associated infrastructure will be developed in phases beginning in mid-2020. The project is being completed
by WPR Development Company and the associated infrastructure to support the development includes
water and sewer systems in addition to roadways, dry utilities, and drainage improvements. This submittal
is a portion of the water system that will be further described below. Pump Station 4 will add or boost
pressure in the distribution system on the southern end of the development.
WATER SYSTEM
The proposed water system includes a raw water system and distribution system. The raw water system is
generally composed of groundwater wells, well header piping, transmission main, pump stations and
associated storage tanks, and additional raw water piping. The raw water system delivers raw well water
to the development to serve the distribution system and the snowmaking and golf course irrigation systems.
The distribution system will chlorinate the raw well water and then deliver potable water throughout the
development. The components of the distribution system include a chlorination system, pump stations,
water storage tanks, distribution piping, and pressure reducing vaults (PRVs). The various water system
components will be constructed in phases as development continues.
Portions of the water system have been previously approved either for plan approval or for an operating
permit by UDEQ’s Division of Drinking Water (DDW) and are summarized in Table 1. The water system

PUMP STATION 4
Pump Station 4, the proposed booster pump station situated at 41°04'33.16" N 111°48'20.53" W at the
north end of Plat 3C, is designed to deliver 200 gpm directly from the existing water distribution system to
Tank 5 (ST005), ensuring a stable and efficient supply of water. The pump station features two primary
pumps, each rated at 100 gpm, along with one standby pump to provide operational redundancy in case of
maintenance or equipment failure per UDEQ standards. Notably, no services branch off the transmission
line leading to Tank 5, allowing for optimal flow consistency and minimizing potential distribution disruptions.
However, the pumps are equipped with variable frequency drives (VFDs), allowing them to dynamically
adjust flow rates to meet demand while also bypassing Tank 5 during temporary maintenance. The station
is specifically designed to meet peak day demands for the 81 Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs)
on the southern end of the development directly fed from Tank 5, reinforcing system reliability and
maintaining adequate pressure levels for the affected area.

Due to the unexpectedly higher elevation of residential lots compared to initial infrastructure planning, Plat
3C would not be able to receive sufficient pressure from the distribution line. Tank 5 was designed and
placed at a higher elevation than any lot to overcome the insufficient pressure to meet UDEQ pressure
standards. This pump facility was deemed necessary to move water from the distribution water line ending
in the north end of Plat 3C to fill Tank 5. By implementing this booster pump station to directly fill Tank 5,
Tank 5 will effectively compensate for the pressure deficiencies, ensuring compliant and consistent service
for the residential area while maintaining overall efficiency within the water distribution network.

The Wasatch Peaks Ranch (WPR) Development is a 15.1 square mile development
northeast of Salt Lake City within Morgan County, Utah. WPR will include a private
low-density residential community with private recreational amenities. WPR is
zoned as a Resort Special District and approved for up to 750 ERCs. The residential
and commercial developments and associated infrastrucutre has beeen and will be
developed in phases starting in mid-2020. As services are installed to various
customers, UDEQ backflow prevention guidelines will be followed.
The propsed project is to construct a 200 gpm booster pump facility on the south
end WPR within plat 3C. The pump station facility will be known as Pump Station 4.
The location of the facility will be at coordinates 41°4'33.16" N
111°48'20.53" W. Pump Station 4 will be equiped with 2 duty 100 gpm pumps with 1
standby. WPR has added property lots at higher locations than initially planned in
mid-2020. It was decided that a tank (Tank 5) would be constructed at a higher
elevation than any of the lots on the south end so adequate pressure is supplied.
Pump Station 4 will directly feed into Tank 5 as in no services will draw from the
transmission line from pump station to the tank. Tank 5 is a 300,00 gallon tank that
will supply enough water for peak day demand for 81 ERCs, fire flow, and additional
emergency storage. Pump Station 4 adequately resupplies Tank 5 during peak day
demands. Since the storage of Tank 5 is sufficient for the fire flow demand, a fire
flow pump was not included at Pump Station 4. Pressure at Pump Station 4 will be
around 175 psi at the discharge point and around 35 psi at the suction point.

Water distribution in the WPR water system (UTAH15044) will
not have adequate pressures without a booster pump station beyond
Plat 3A. The WPR Phase 3C Booster Pump Station construction
documents (Pump Station 4) consists of miminal yard piping from
previously approved distribution and transmission water mains to
the pump house. The pump house will pump water at 200 gpm to
Tank 5, which was submitted to DDW for review on April 16,
