Greencastle Water Utility Master Plan Update. Doug Moncrieff addressed the 1992 Master Plan
Recommendations, 2000 Master Plan Update, Design Criteria and Recommendations and a
Priority Plan of Action. The Priority Action Plan and costs are as follows:
- Treatment Plant
• 1. Upgrade clear well cover watertight integrity. $5,000.00
Reason: Present cover is leaking and reduces clear well capacity as water level is
held down to prevent leaking through the hatch.
2. Three (3) new filter control valves. $50,000.00
Reason: The Red Valve pinch style valve has significantly fewer moving parts and
will significantly reduce control valve maintenance.
-Wells
1. Develop a new well field, three (3) wells 800 gpm each. $1,200,000.00
(this cost does not include easement or land costs)
Reason: Existing wells do not have the firm capacity to produce sufficient water
to meet present maximum day demand.
2. Raw water transmission line and 160,000 - gallon raw water ground level storage
tank. $936,000.00
(this cost does not include easement or land costs)
Reason: Necessary part of new wells.
- Distribution System
1. Abandon the "old" 12 inch in Jackson Street from a point south of Doc James
Road to Frazier Street ( INDOT Project) $50,000.00
Reason: Necessary for the MOT construction project from Doc James
Road to Frazier Street.
2. Abandon the balance of the "old" 12 inch water line. $428,000.00
Reason: Eliminate the high maintenance "old" water line.
® 3. Route 240 East water line relocation ( INDOT project) $75,000.00

Reason: A new tank is required to provide necessary fire protection.
2. Demolish existing 750,000 gal Elevated tank at Robe Ann Park.
$150,000.00

unusable and needs to be removed before it presents a significant danger
to the Park area and neighborhood.
