1.0 INTRODUCTION

Northern Kentucky Water District is the largest water district and the third largest water utility in the state of Kentucky. The utility serves approximately 300,000 people in Campbell and Kenton counties and portions of Boone, Grant, and Pendleton counties. This region is part of the growing metropolitan area and has seen significant growth over the past 20 years. The largest municipality within the Northern Kentucky Water District is the city of Covington which has an approximate population of 40,000 people. The area is home to the Cincinnati Airport, Northern Kentucky University as well as several large businesses – e.g. Toyota, Citigroup, Fidelity Investments (2010). Figure 1 below shows the general location of the Northern Kentucky Water District.

3.0 MAJOR COMPONENTS

The Northern Kentucky Water District contains over 300 square miles of total service area. The system has three different water treatment plants with a combined capacity of 64 million gallons per day (MGD). There are sixteen distribution pump stations and 18 water storage tanks. The treated water transmission and distribution system consists of approximately 1,250 miles of a grid of mains ranging from 0.75 inches to 38 inches in diameter. The Northern Kentucky Water District contains 8 different pressure zones and approximately 33 pressure reducing valves.

3.1 Distribution Piping

Northern Kentucky’s water distribution system is comprised of raw water pipe sizes ranging from 42 inches to 20 inches in diameter, and transmission pipes ranging in size from 0.75 inches to 38 inches in diameter.

There are several different types of pipe material installed within the system. Table 1 below displays the material, along with the range of diameters and the total length of pipe of each material (KIA, 2012). The majority of the pipes in the Northern Kentucky area are cast iron. Ductile iron makes up about one fourth of all the finished pipes in the system, followed by polyethylene (PE) pipes (6%) and PVC pipes (5%). Figure 2 displays an overview of the different components of the Northern Kentucky Water District.

3.2 Water Treatment Plant

The District operates three water treatment plants (WTPs). The three treatment plants are Taylor Mill, Fort Thomas, and Memorial Parkway. The Taylor Mill treatment plant uses the for its raw water source. Fort Thomas and Memorial Parkway draw water from the .

3.2.1 History

In 1996, the Kenton and Campbell County water boards executed a merger agreement and signed a twenty year water supply contract with the Newport Water Works. Subsequently, the Kentucky General Assembly passed legislation allowing membership of a combined water service district board and, a short time later, the Kentucky Public Service Commission approved a merger of the two water boards forming the Northern Kentucky Water District. Most areas within Campbell County, with the exception of southern Campbell County, are currently served by the Northern Kentucky Water District. With the merger, the Northern Kentucky Water District obtained the Fort Thomas and Taylors Mill Water Treatment Plants. In June 2002, the Northern Kentucky Water District acquired the system owned by the City of Newport which included the Memorial Parkway Treatment Plant. (City of Alexandria, 2009)

The Fort Thomas WTP, the largest of the three plants, serves as the primary source of water supply to the system. Taylor Mill, the second largest plant, is used to supplement flow from Fort Thomas. The water from both plants is blended in a clearwell prior to being pumped into the distribution system.

3.2.2 Fort Thomas

The Fort Thomas WTP is a conventional WTP with sedimentation and filtration. One of the more unique aspects of the treatment plant is the raw water storage in two large intake reservoirs at the head of the facility. These reservoirs provide a buffer against rapid changes in raw water quality data that occur in the Ohio River.

Raw Water Pumping— The Ohio river pump station #1 pumps raw water from the Ohio River to the reservoirs at the Fort Thomas WTP. Raw water pumping facilities consist of six pumps each with a capacity of approximately 12 MGD. The station discharges pressure at approximately 132 psi when no pumps are running and can go as high as 150 psi with 4 pumps running. Potassium permanganate is fed at the pumping facility for taste and odor and zebra mussel control. The chemical feed pumps are started separately from the raw water pumps.

Instrumentation—Plant operations are monitored and controlled by a computer based Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (S.C.A.D.A.) system. The S.C.A.D.A. system monitors and controls pumps, chemical feeds, treatment equipment, flow rates, water levels, etc.

Figure 3 displays a schematic of the Fort Thomas WTP. (Hei, 2007)

Figure 3. Schematic of Fort Thomas WTP

3.2.3 Memorial Parkway WTP

The Memorial Parkway treatment Plant is a non-conventional plant that uses a process of ballasted flocculation to treat water from the Ohio River.

Raw Water Pumping— The Ohio river pump station #2 pumps raw water from the Ohio River to the reservoirs at the Memorial Parkway Treatment Plant. The raw water pumping facilities consist of three pumps. Capacities are 9.6, 8.6 and 6.9 MGD. Usually only one river pump is run at a time. Potassium permanganate is fed at the pumping facility for taste, odor, and zebra mussel control. The chemical feed pumps are started separately from the raw water pumps.

3.2.4 Taylors Mill WTP

The Taylor Mill Treatment Plant is a 10 MGD conventional treatment plant that utilizes UV in the treatment process. Two 10 MGD UV reactors were installed on the combined filter effluent piping to provide an additional disinfection barrier, to increase the degree of inactivation of Cryptospordium, Giardia, and viruses and to achieve enhanced treatment goals in the future.

Raw Water Pumping— The Licking River pump station pumps raw water from the Licking River to the Taylor Mill Treatment Plant. Unlike the other two treatment plants the raw water pumps must run whenever the Taylor Mill treatment plant is treating water.

6 Northern Kentucky Water District - Utility Partner Data Report 8 February 2012

The raw water pumping facilities consist of three pumps where pump 1 runs when the treatment plant is operating at 10-11 MGD, pump 2 runs when treatment plant is operating at 8-9 MGD and pump 3 runs when the treatment plant is operating at 4.5 – 7.5 MGD. Potassium permanganate is fed at the pumping facility for taste and odor and zebra mussel control. The chemical feed pumps are started separately from the raw water pumps.

3.2.5 Water Quality Monitoring

In 2000, The Northern Kentucky Water District opened a water quality laboratory. The laboratory is approximately 8,000 square feet which is equivalent to four separate water testing laboratories under one roof. The laboratory is certified by the Environmental Protection Agency for 121 parameters. According to the Northern Kentucky Water District website, water samples are taken from over 180 locations each month.

A summary of the 2010 Water Quality Report for the three different water treatment plants is shown below in Table 2, Table 3, and Table 4. See Appendix A for the Full Water Quality report.

3.3.11 US 27 Pump Station

The US 27 Pump Station pumps water treated by the Fort Thomas Treatment Plant to the 1017 service area. If the 1017 service area is “open”, water from the US 27 pump station will also supply Lumley, Rossford, and the Memorial Parkway Regulator Pit. See Water Works pump station for when the 1017 service area is “closed”. The US 27 pump station contains six constant speed pumps rated for 5 MGD.

3.3.12 Water Works Road Pump Station

The Water Works Road pump station supplies the 1017 service area (northern part of Fort Thomas) and the 829 service area (Bellevue and Dayton) with water produced from the Memorial Parkway Treatment Plant.
