•750 MCM IS USED FOR UNDERGROUND 3 PHASE
ELECTRIC SERVICE
•APPROXIMATELY 80 REELS (80,000’) OF 750 MCM
UNDERGROUND CABLE WAS INSTALLED LAST
FISCAL YEAR
•ON AN AVERAGE, THERE IS A WASTE OF APPOX.
100’ OF SCRAP CABLE FOR EVERY ONE (1) REEL
INSTALLED
•THIS TRAILER WILL ALLOW US TO USE LARGER
REELS (longer wire length), RESULTING IN A SAVINGS
OF APPROX. $1,172 PER NEW REEL OF CABLE.

The Department solicited a price for this type
of trailer and received an estimated expense
of $51,000.
By coordinating this project with the City’s
Maintenance Shop the trailer we have today,
built by Mr. Dick Miller, Fabricator, was
constructed for approximately $13,600 –
saving over $37,000.

EXHIBIT #3
October 22, 2007
Regular Council Meeting of 10/22/2007
Page 42
What Is Source Water Protection?
z Protection of drinking water supply
– Quality and quantity
– Recharge of ground-water supply
– Protection of wellhead areas
Page 43
Why Is This Important to Dover?
z Dover is a large water supplier
z Ground water is the sole source of Dover’s
water
z Resource management issue
Page 44
What Is Our Responsibility?
z Source Water Protection Act of 2001
z Dover must adopt maps which delineate:
– Wellhead Protection Areas
– Excellent Recharge Areas
z Dover must adopt ordinances which regulate
land use in these areas.
Page 45
Important Details
z Dover has wellhead areas that it must
manage and protect.
z Dover sits overtop underground aquifers that
supply drinking water regionally and provide
base flows for various surface waters.
Page 46
Two Components
z Protect the immediate areas surrounding
wells
z Protect the ability of the various aquifers to
recharge
Page 47
So…Where are the wells?
Page 48
A Brief on Well Types
Source: http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/PIC/23figures/Fig2.jpg
Page 49
Regulating Wellhead Areas
z Differentiate between wells in the ‘confined’
and ‘unconfined’ aquifers
z Create protective land use policies
z Preserve open space
z Encourage natural stormwater runoff and
redirect impervious cover runoff
Page 50
How does the Aquifer recharge?

Regulating Recharge Areas
z Create protective land use policies
z Limit impervious cover via the 20/50 best
management practice
z Implement 15% impervious cover reduction
rule for redevelopment
z Allow for and encourage ‘green design’
Page 53
