I. Project Description
The project includes the demolition of the existing parking lot and redevelopment of the site to
include a 6-story multi-use building. The building will be a mixture of a hotel and restaurant.
II. Existing Water and Sanitary Sewer Utilities
Municipal water service is provided in the vicinity of the project site by the City of Saratoga
Springs. A 10-inch diameter water main is located in Federal Street and a 10-inch diameter
water main in Washington Street. A hydrant flow test was conducted at hydrants along
Washington Street to evaluate existing system conditions. The results of the pressure and fire
flow testing are summarized below:
Static Pressure Residual Pressure Expected Flow at 20 psi
Washington Street 82 psi 79 psi 3,336 gpm
Municipal sanitary sewer service is available from the City of Saratoga via a 12” sanitary sewer
main in Washington Street, adjacent to the project site. The sewer main runs east on Washington
Street, eventually discharging to the Saratoga County Sewer District pump station at the
intersection of High Rock Avenue and Warren Street. Ultimately the wastewater flows for
conveyance and treatment at SCSD’s wastewater treatment plant in Mechanicville.
III. Projected Water and Wastewater Flows
Anticipated wastewater flows for the project were calculated based on design flows for hotel and
restaurant space.
Hotel Units (90 units) (110 gpd/unit) 9,900 gpd
Restaurant (139 seats) (35 gpd/seat) 4,865 gpd
Total 14,765 gpd
Average daily flow for wastewater is estimated to be 10.3 gallons per minute (gpm) based on a
24-hour day. Estimated peak hourly flow is 42.7 gpm (4.15 x average).2
Average daily demand for water is estimated to be approximately equal to the wastewater flow
or 10.3 gpm.
We offer the following summary of the estimated water demands for the project:
• Average Day Demand is 10.3 gallons per minute (GPM) over the 24-hour period.
• Max Day Demand is 20.6 gallons per minute (GPM) based on twice the average.
• Peak Hourly Flow is 42.7 gallons per minute (GPM) based on 4.15 times the average.
IV. Proposed Water and Wastewater Utilities
Proposed Water Utilities
To service the building, a water connection is proposed to be installed from the municipal water
main located in Federal Street. The service will provide both domestic and fire protection to the
building.
Connections and appurtenances, including mechanical joints, tees, isolation valves, thrust blocks,
trenching, bedding, service connections, as well as testing and disinfection will all be specified in
accordance with City of Saratoga Springs and AWWA standards.
Proposed Wastewater Utilities
Sanitary sewer service will be provided by installing a new 6-inch SDR-26 gravity sewer lateral
discharging to the existing Washington Street sewer main. Piping, trenching, bedding, service
connections, and testing are specified in accordance with City of Saratoga Springs standards. In
addition, a grease interceptor will be installed within the building to serve the restaurant kitchen.
