Will yo-i kindly take steps to insure that no building permit is i3sued on these lats until-:.he matter has been taken up further with the Council? I have a report from Mr. Roy.Peterson that there is a sizeable well in good condition on the Miller property somewhere in the vicinity of Concord Avenue and 62nd Street, the exact location I do not know; I would like to have you, at ;our earliest convenience, check up on this and see whether the H311 is of sufficient size and condition to do us any good, in case we could make arrangements to acquire it in some way'and use it in the Village system.

In iesuing t for bringing in what you designate as ..est C-0th Street unk Highway 100 in connection " with the plotting of Marion Gardens, wish to point out that future development of the trunk highw may call for a service road on the east wide. To that a it is suggested that in any contemplated use of lots 2 and 3, ' Block Un't have this in mind. It is posolble that widening the highway may require an additidV 50 to 75 ft. of width. Accordingly it is suggested that you mey wish to keep the westerly portion of these lots free of any structures until such time as plans for authorization of the highway have been further developed.

It seems that the piping is laid out to run out from the new bank building on the West side somewhere. He wanted to see you right away but I stalled him off until Monday morning. I would appreciate your going-out to see O'Connor the first thing Monday morning. You will have to tell him just where the main lies and what kind of a.connection• you will authorize and the possibility of installing a manhole there. Also, I don't believe he has requested a permit as yet. Also you should have some definite arrangement with him for restoring the pavement back to its present condition, which means proper backfill and compaction, I would.t hink, so the job will hold up.- Please handle and advise.

Faust, 41?12'Sunnyslope Road, was in Saturday asking about a certdin situation, described as follows: He has purchased the two lots, which are small ones, .just West of the Sunnyslope Addition and South of 49th -street: They abut up ggainst the highway right of way and-are only 50 feet wide. Their depth is limited also. What he wants . to know is:,-Can he put up a good looking, large double garage over on that property, or not? , , It' seems to me that if a double garage is put up there' that there will be no possibility of homes being constructed at this point. I do not believe the lots are large enough to put in dwellinge-and Mr. Faust has no- idea"of ever putting in a dwelling on either one or both of Ahese lots. He wants a double garage and then he will beautify'it and retain the contoure,about as they are now. One question involved would be the setback from the South line-of 49th Street. A setback oY thirty feet would destroy the value of his idea. I would think that -a setback quite a bit less then thirty feet would be desirable. In order to get approval . on this, I am sure that we would have'to get permission-from the Village Council next Monday night, so will you give me your opinion as to whether or not Mr. Faust•could,proceed iri the manner indicated i. or not, in the next two or three.days? - Yours very truly, S.

SRM:B 4 WATERWORKS FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Without Audit) VILLAGE OF EDINAO MINNESOTA JUNE 309 1954 ERNST & ERNST To' -the Village Council Edina, Minnesota ' This is in response to your letter of September 109 1951+2 relative to earnings of water department available for financing additional facilities in the nature of wells and towers. The- accompanying financial statements bring the situation to June 309 1954, including earnings of the years from the date of acquisition in order to show the growth of the system. There will be noted a substantial increase in the earnings for the year 1953 over 1952. This is generally accounted for as follows: Increase in rates Hydrant rentals Increase in volume - Increase in earnings available for debt.. net service • o 11•• m ••• of $16,000 The operations for the first six months'of 1954 :Produced income before fixed1charges of $.g247 as compared with $15,263 for -the same period in 1953. About two - h rds of this was increased volume,41,000 increase in hydrant fees and a decrease in maintenance costs from the preceding year. It would be well to keep in mind that periodically the pumps must be overhauled and that this ultimately will become a regular annual charge with a larger number of wells. The tower and tank constructed and put into service' during the past year cost approximately $$1109000, of which $30 000 was provided from current funds and $80 000 by bonds. An analy il's�Wthe growth of number of connections indicates that you are facing the necessity of'adding about one new well each year which-with pumping facilities will cost from 5209000 to UL.M on the basis of those last added. On the basis of one unit per year,we feel that the earnings must be used to finance that annual addition and debt service and that it should not at this time be anticipated that current earnings would be available for financing part of the cost of new towers and tanks, other than through the additional debt requirements. In any event some :,reserve for unforseen contingencies should be maintained and in case excess funds accumulate they may be used to retire late maturities of existing issues or temporarily invested.

The accompanying financial statements bring the situation to June 309 19549 including earnings of the years from the date of acquisition in order to show the growth of the system. There will be notedi'a substantial increase in the earnings for the year 1953 over 1952. This is generally accounted for as follows: Increase in rates $ 69000 Hydrant rentals — 4Q Increase in volume - net Increase in earnings, available for debt service $169.000 The operations for the first six months of 1954' produced income before fixed charges of $27 247 as compared with $15,2b3 for..the same period in 1953• About two - thirds of this was increased volume, $19000 increase in hydrant fees and a decrease in maintenance costs from the preceding year. It would be well to keep in mind that periodically the pumps must be overhauled and that this ultimately will become a regular annual charge with a larger number of wells. The tower and tank constructed and put into service` during the past year cost approximately $11090009 of which $309000 was provided from current funds and $80 000 by bonds. An analysis of the growth of number of connections indicates that you are facing the necessity of adding about one new well each year which with pumping facilities will cost from $209000 to $259000 on the basis of those last added. On the basis of one unit per year,we feel that,the earnings must be used to finance that annual addition and debt service and that it should not at this time be anticipated that current earnings would be available for financing part of the cost of new towers and tanks other than.through the additional debt requirements. In any event some reserve for unforseen contingencies should be maintained and in case excess funds accumulate they may be used to retire late maturities of existing issues or temporarily invested.

Dear Bens I would: like to have a recommendation from you on the bids . received for the new Trunk Sanitary Sewer running from.69th and France to the Northwest section of the Village. The part I want a recommendation on is- in regard to the possibility of the Council accepting an alternate bid for several hundred feet of _asbestos bonded, paved invert culvert -pipe in lieu of concrete or vitrified clay pipe. The culvert pipe is considerably cheaper in,some instances, effecting a saving of several thousand dollars. The point I wish you to check on is this:- Can this -type of .pipe be cleaned in a satisfactory manner, keeping in mind the corrugations,at the -sides and -a bituminous paved invert iii the bottom. Will you kindly check on this and see ' if we should •reject the idea of installing. culvert pipe, due to the fact that it-cannot be cleaned property, if this is the case. On the other hand' I would also like to have a "recommendation from you on the bids that came in for the construction of the new well on the Maguire property, tide• will need your recommendation prior to the meeting on December 27th.

If they can drill. a small hole down far enough so that we can get all the water to run in that lies in the gutters at those locations., it will.help us a lot in drying out the street sufficiently so that gravel can'be applied in order that the water will run naturally. into the catch basins.

As you know, the Northwest corner of Wooddale and V411ey View is zoned commercial. The owners of the property•are now requesting information as to the physical requirements of the Village on this corner. I wish to call to.your attention that in view of the Master Plan of Southdale, Valley View maybe an important feeder road at some time in the future, West of •Brookview, and it may be necessary to widen the street to -the full right of way width to provide for four lanes of traffic. In view of this, the Council has instructed me to advise you to make provision for this.in the issuing of building permits all the way from Brookview to Normandale. At Wooddale and Valley View, a Service Station is contemplated. You must insure that buildings,.pumps, drivewayq, etc., are far enough back to,allow for a future widening of the street, not only from Valley View but from Wooddale,-also. Each time a building permit is presented, you should keep these facts in mind'i.and act accordingly. I have a report that part of the scaffold used by the workmen in.painting the water tank was left up on the tank. Evidently, this includes planks which might be dislodged during a heavy i windstorm. This, of course, might result in serious injury or death to anyone who happened to be near the base of the tank when it happened. Kindly arrange to check and remove, if this is the case.

First wewill consider the general character- istics of these primary meters. The Kenni- son Nozzle is described in Ref. No. 135.21 -F1. The Parshall Measuring Flume, an im- proved Venturi type flume, is widely used for measurement of water and sewage flow. An integral part of an open channel, it is installed where a Venturi, Tube cannot be used for structural or hydraulic reasons. Throat widths of 31, to 40' have been constructed to take care of flows from- .71 to 1500 M. G. D. DESCRIPTION: The Parshall Flume consists of a converging upstream section, a,downward sloping throat, and an up- ward sloping; diverging downstream section. It is usually constructed of reinforced con- crete. ' Surfaces are true planes, finished smooth with close adherence to specified di- mensions. It may be installed in any open lV Fig. 1. Parshall Flume and Chronoflo Transmitter- Indicator in Weatherproof case. channel or at outlet of basin or grit, chamber. Size of flume is the width of Throat W (shown in Fig. 3). Table 1 .(Fig. 2) shows dimensions of flumes of various sizes (Ref. 2). _ ADVANTAGES: The.Parshall Flume is super- ior to a standard weir be- cause of: 1. Relative higher degree of accu- racy; 2. An inappreciable reduction of accu- racy when subjected to a high degree of sub- mergence; 3. Freedom from sludge, silt or sand accumulations; and 4. Low head loss (approximately one quarter that of a weir). Table 2 (Fig. 6) gives values of head loss for various types of weirs and flow rates in com- parison with Parshall Flumes operating at slightly less than maximum submergence.

Head -flow characteristics of flumes and Kennison Nozzles are similar and have better form for metering purposes than those of weirs. INSTRUMENTS: Builders - Providence, Inc., manufactures many instru- ments for use with Parshall Flumes. Any one of the instruments available may be selected for normal installation. If unusual conditions exist, a factory representative should be consulted. FLO- WATCH: A precision instrument of rugged construction and sim- plified design. It is a mechanical meter actuated by a float installed in a stillingwell. Ample power is available for sensitive, ac- curate and trouble -free operation. The mechanism is enclosed in a dust -proof case for floor- stand, panel or wall mounting. This instrument is available in a weatherproof case (Fig. 5). It can be installed where alternating cur- rent is available. It can be furnished with indicator, recorder, or totalizer, or any combination of these. It has a 12" chart, 24- hour or seven -day, made from wax engraved plates, has uniformly spaced graduations for equal ease and accuracy of readings at low as well as high rates of flow. Simple and in- expensive attachments may be provided for transmission of readings to remote duplicate registering dials and /or for automatic con- trol or proportioning of chemicals in relation to rate of flow. Flo -Watch and Builders Chronoflo Tele- meters are available in identical case designs, thus presenting uniform appearance when used together. See Bulletin Dll -300 and Ref. No. 936.25 -F4. CHRONOFLO Available alone or in com- TELEMETER: bination with Type M or Flo -Watch instruments for electrical transmission of flow measurements over private wires or leased telephone wires ',any distance from feet to miles" where al- ternating current is available. Any combin- ation of indicating, totalizing, or recording functions is available, as well as control of chemical feeders, valves, gauges or pump motors. Equipment for summation of flows from two or more transmitters is also available. Only two wires are needed for the Chronoflo transmission circuit. This instru- ment may be furnished in a weatherproof case, with all parts and electrical wiring fully protected from the weather, thus elim- inating necessity of a separate outdoor meter house. The outdoor model (CTW -I) is shown in the large drawing on Page 2. This instru- ment is available for simple indicating only, with provision for installing a transmitter and secondary instrument at a later date. The large indicator dial enables quick and accu- rate observation of flow data. The trans- mitter is of the Chronoflo time- impulse type; operating cycle not less than 15 seconds nor more than 60 seconds; requires not more than two wires for transmission of readings be- tween transmitter and receiver. Time -im- pulse signal directly proportional to rate of flow. Accuracy of transmission unaffected by normal variations in line voltage, resist- ance or inductance. Electrical contacts are long -life, glass - enclosed, mercury type. Fig. 4. Flo -Watch Fig. 5. Flo -Watch Fig. 6. Chronoflo Fig. 7. Chronoflo Model AFUA -TIR. in Weatherproof case. Receiver.

The stream passing through the throat and diverging sections of the flume can flow at two different stages (Fig. 3). First, the condition of free flow where the meter at high velocity moves in a thin sheet conforming closely to the dip at the lower end of the throat (free flow in Fig. 3); and second, the condition where the backwater raises -the water surface (partial submerged flow in Fig. 3), causing a standing wave to form at or just downstream from the end of the throat. It is important to note that where degree of submergence is 0.7 of head over crest, for one to eight -foot flumes, or 0.6 for three, six and nine - inch' flumes, the rate of discharge may be related to a single measurement of the head without correction. Operation of flumes at greater degrees of submergence than those mentioned is not recommended because of negative correction factors involved. - •Generally economy of construction dictates that the smallest throat size available be selected , consistent with depth in channel of maximum flows and permissible head loss. As a general rule; the throat size should be one-third to one -half the width of the channel. OPERATION: A single head tap is taken off at floor level in the up- stream converging section two- thirds of distance A (Fig. 3) from crest. This head is conducted to 'a stilling well for float opera- tion of an indicating, or recording instrument. ACCURACY: 95 to. 98 per cent dependent on operating conditions, size of float, quality of instrument and construction tolerances (Ref. 3). References: 1. Tech.

M vv � r.v�n.�-�rnv� ■ v�■��� WEIRS A ,weir may be considered as a primary meteringdevice in place of a Parshall Flume or Kennison Nozzle where head loss is not a material consideration. Where solids - bearing liquids are to be metered, weirs are not suitable. A weir is a notched plate or- section of regular shape through which a liquid flows. The term is , also applied to the whole structure. DESCRIPTION: There are various types of weirs. The three - most famiiiar are: V- notch, Cipoletti and Rectangular. Differences in these designs depend on the shape of the control section.. As the name implies, the V -notch has a V -weir section; the Cipoletti Weir employs a trapezoidal-shaped notch; and the Rectangu- lar Weir has the notch in a rectangle shape. Each weir consists of a straight upstream . channel section, free from obstacles to the liquid flow. Length of this upstream section must be at least 20 times the maximum head. Velocity of approach conditions affects accuracy. OPERATION: A single head tap at right . angles to the channel wall is taken off the, weir upstream _ channel twice the measured head from the .weir plate or section. 'The head is conducted to a stilling well for float operation of Builders Flo- Watch, Type M or Chronoflo instruments. For description of these: instruments and their use with Parshall. Flumes' and similarly with weirs, see preceding pages. The use of. Builders Flushing Device -will also be the same as that described for weirs on pages 4 and 5. ACCURACY: Many factors influence metering accuracy such as operating conditions, size of float, quality of instrument and construction of the primary device. Over -all accuracy of from 95 to 98% of actual rate may be expected depending on installation conditions. Fig. 11.. V- Notch Weir. Fig. 12. Cipoletti Weir. Fig. 13. Rectangular Weir. USES: Weirs are used where there is low head mechannical flow, at liquid dis- charge outlets, etc.. on clear water contain- ing few suspended solids, which on low flows tend to settle' out upstream: Accumulations of solids will destroy weir calibration. The Cipoletti weir has found wide use in the measurement of irrigation water. Page 7 A ■■ ■■ w�ww4/ ww w%R■w W W oW a Im'a..-e-RV V I Lip K"bs 724GZ�UrJZP/lZ�j CHRONOFLO TRANS.

M BUILDERS-MPROVI DEN C noZ� I ENGINEERING INFORMATION ON THE KENNISON OPEN FLOW NOZZLE DESCRIPTION: The Kennison Nozzle (Fig. l) is contracted to a special shape at the outlet end so normal flow in the main line is, undisturbed. This eliminates sudden increase of velocity which occurs when liquid flows •from an open end pipe; the result is a very satisfactory rating curve which rises at a nearlyuniform rate from minimum to maximum flow. See Page 7 for description of "Half Section" Kennison Nozzles. USES: Designed for lines flowing partially filled, the Kennison Nozzle is used where it is impracticable to install a Venturi or Orifice Meter. It is preferable to a Weir for measurement of solids - bearing liquids because a velocity reducing, chamber is not required, and thus deposition of solids is avoided; increasing velocity through the Nozzle promotes; self - scouring. In addition the outlet area is generous; a Nozzle having a 161, inlet diameter ' will pass a 9" sphere, It has wide application in water and sewage plants and in the measurement of industrial waste. ACCURACY: The accurate measuring range of the Kennison Nozzle depends upon the type of instrument used with it. Generally, for mechanical types, the in- dicating and recording functions will be accu- rate throughout the range from maximum down ;to 1/15 or 1/20 of maximum. Good re. sults have been obtained in recording at. even lower flow rates. Registering or totalizing functions show quantity accurately when the flow rate is within the range from maximum down to 1 /10 to 1/15 of maximum, the lower limit depending upon the type of instrument used. For the Chronoflo Telemeter, the most accurate range is from maximum. to 1 /10 of maximum with a less accurate I'zone" down to 05 of maximum. . The loss of head will be equal to one .pipe diameter 'when the Nozzle is flowing full and the downstream level is at the invert of the Nozzle. File 135,21 Fig. 1. Kennison Nozzle CONSTRUCTION: Constructed of high grade cast MEEHANITE iron, the Nozzle has brass- bushed piezometer vent opening and broaze- mounted Vent Cleaner in- suring longest possible operating life. DIMENSIONS: The Kennison Nozzle is sup- plied with 125# . American Standard pipe flange at inlet and is bolted di- rectly on'the preceding section of pipe. For dimensions of Kennison Nozzles, see Fig. 2 on the following page. INSTALLATION: The Kennison Nozzle must be installed so that the level of liquid downstream is below the invert (bottom) of the Nozzle, i, e., I'free discharge ". Additional fall is unnecessary except as may be needed for structural considerations. Line velocity immediately ahead. of Nozzle must not exceed the following values unless steps are taken to reduce this velocity -as outlined in a later -paragraph. Excessive velocity will result if the slope of the approach pipe line is greater than Technical.Bulletin No. 135 -J5 34eree4ies 135.21 -F1 1 066 o V 1 `YLR� ° "' "' rR -�V��� 1 V LI \bi %t OG22G�►L7/ly(A 125 STD.

The instrument may be located in a nearby building, in an isolated meter house built es- pecially for the purpose, in an underground vault, or in a weatherproof housing. Dimenm sions, data and specification sheets for these instruments available upon request. A convenient outdoor installa- tion is available with the weather - proof housing described and illus- trated in Ref. No.936 -F4. This housing makes it rarely necessary to enter an underground vault, liable to be dangerous in sewage and sludge installations. The housing is heavy, well - protected and equipped with a lock so that it may be located outside of enclosed areas without risk of damage by vandals. See Fig. 8. Fig. 8. Instruments installed in underground vaults require certain precautions if reliable per- formance over long periods is to be expected. It is suggested that designs for underground meter vaults incorporate these essentials: (1) . Totalizing, indicating or recording in- struments must be located in a chamber Page 1+ FLOW IN CUBIC FEET PER SECOND Head In Inches Half sect.

(2) The instrument chamber should be venti- lated, also well drained so that water will not collect on the floor. Usually, the drain can be carried into the adjacent sewer. (3) A commercial chemical dehumidifier of room capacity is a worthwhile investment. A small dish for chemical, such as silica -gel, placed inside the instrument case also has been found helpful in keeping the instrument mech- anism and charts free from condensation. An incandescent lamp installed inside the instru- ment case accomplishes a similar function. ACCESSORIES: At the bottom of the Nozzle near the flange, there is a piezometer vent hole with cleaner designed to provide maximum freedom from clogging. At periodic intervals, depending upon type of service, it is desirable to operate the vent cleaner. The standard vent cleaner is manu- ally operated (Fig. 9).

The three -way valve which controls the hy- draulic cleaner may be located where con- venient for the operator. Either right -hand or left -hand patterns can be furnished. The sediment tank in the line between the piezometer tap and the float pipe is needed when imeasuring liquids carrying settleable solids. If solids are present a standard cast iron sediment tank is recommended. (Fig. 11.) Flushing water introduced at the top of the float pipe, creates a back flow which helps to keep the ' float pipe, pressure pipe, sediment tank and piezometer opening free from clogging Two methods of flushing are: (1) Continuous small stream of clear water through the float pipe cap. A source separate from the potable water supply is not necessary here because of the air gap between the clear water pipe and the float pipe cap. . (2) Intermittent pressure flushing by means of Builders Flushing device may be used either separately or in conjunction. with. the continuous flushing mentioned heretofore. A source of water separate from the potable water supply is required, such as a small pressure system or an overhead float tank. There are installations where the flushing water system has been omitted due.to lack of, water supply. The performance of these installations has proved satisfactory where careful attention has been given to maintaining. the' lines clear. A': Kenniflo Rate Indicator. (Fig. 12) is available to provide visual evidence of instantaneous rate of flow. This indicator can be graduated in GPD, GPM, or MGD as well as inches of head.

The six -inch pipe flange at the inlet matches 125# American Standard drill- ing. It has a through -way with flat invert and no depressions or summits to collect sedi- ment. See Fig. 12. USES: Designed to measure flow under low head conditions with the line partly filled, this type of nozzle is used in place of the full size Kennision Nozzle. It accommo- dates flow rates from a maximum of 130,000 g.p.d. downtoaminimum of about 5,000 g.p.d. Ideal for low -flow of industrialwaste and also for water and sewage works. Fig. 14.

Such conditions obtain in the flow of raw sewage and trade wastes in branch sewers and interceptors; at the sewage inlet to the disposal plant; in sludge pumped from settling tanks and diges- ters into conditioning tanks and storage wells. Where a single disposal plant serves two or more communities, accurate measurement permits the correct allocation of cost and compensation for treatment. For all such ap- plications the Kennison Nozzle Meter is . eminently suited. Further, it provides permanent continuous chart records of flow data on present conditions to aid in future planning. INSTALLATION A typical Kennison Nozzle Meter installation is shown in Fig. 2. (See back page for other installations.) The Nozzle casting is bolted to the pipe through which the liquid is flowing with free discharge at the shaped end. Leveling lugs are provided on the Nozzle for correct setting of Nozzle and pipe. The top of the Nozzle is open for periodical inspection and cleaning, if necessary. At the bottom, near the flange, a piezometer hole is pro- vided for connecting a relatively large pressure pipe through a sediment chamber to the open float well of the recording instrument. For metering liquids con- taining solids or debris, the piezometer connection is equipped with an efficient cleanout device. FIG. 3 —Half- Section Kennison Nozzle. HALF - SECTION KENNISON NOZZLE To measure particularly low rates of flow, the Half - Section Kennison Nozzle may be used in place of a full - size 6" Nozzle. This unit is designed for installation on 6" lines with a regular 125# American Standard Flange. It is supplied with a dividing plate which extends five feet into the upstream pipe to divert the flow properly into the Nozzle. The Nozzle itself has the same self - scouring characteristics and is as easily maintained as the full -size Kennison Nozzles. The through -way is clear and unobstructed; there is no tendency to collect sediment or debris. The Half- Section Kennison Nozzle accommodates flow rates from a maximum of 130,000 gallons per day down to a minimum of approximately 5000 gallons per day. Its accuracy, construction, recording instruments, and accessories are the same as the full -size Kennison Nozzle. ACCURACY The accurate measuring range of the Kennison Nozzle depends on the type of instrument used with it. Gen- erally, for mechanical types, the indicating and record- ing functions will be accurate throughout the range from maximum capacity down to 1 /15th or 1 /20th of maximum. Good results have been obtained in record- ing at even lower flow rates. Mechanical totalization operates accurately from maximum capacity down to 1 /10th or 1 /15th of maximum, here again the lower limit depending on the type of instrument used. Using the Chronoflo Telemeter, the most accurate measuring range is from 10070 to 10% of maximum capacity with a less accurate "zone" down to 7% of maximum. Loss of head is equal to one pipe diameter when the Nozzle is flowing full and the downstream level is at the invert of the Nozzle. .89 5,5 0 dog fib! �ZZ Dimensions and Capacities of Kennison Nozzles Inlet Diameter, Inches Maximum Capacity Length Inches Shipping Weight Lbs.

A typical rating curve ( Fig. 4) illustrates the relatively large changes in head (float movement) for equal flow rate increments. This favorable and fundamental characteristic is the basis of the successful application of the Kennison Nozzle to a wide range of difficult metering problems. FIG. 4— Typical rating curve -10" Kennison Nozzle. (Note Linear Relationship from 11!10 to Maximum Flow) INSTRUMENTS A standard Totalizer- Indicator - Recorder, such as the Type M, ( Fig. 5) and the Flo- Watch, ( Fig. 6) can be furnished for single float actuation in connection with the Kennison Nozzle.

Flo -Watch Instrument. complete Meter is illustrated by Fig. 2. Usually a small continuous stream of water is introduced at the top of the float well to set up. a small backflow to prevent deposits in connecting pipe and well. The Instrument dials can be graduated to indicate and record directly the rate of flow in "gallons per day ", "cubic feet per second ", or other units, and to show the total quantity. The rate of flow graduations are uniformly spaced over the entire measuring range. For remote operation, the Chronoflo Telemeter is available. For outdoor installation, Fig. 7 illustrates the weather- proof housing available for recording instruments. This heavily built housing is equipped with a lock and is ideal for safeguarding against tampering as well as weather. Used on sewage and sludge installations, this type of meter eliminates the dangers attendant on enter- ing underground vaults or chambers to take meter readings. CONSTRUCTION The Kennison Nozzle is constructed of high tensile cast MEEHANITE iron. The piezometer vent opening is bushed in brass and is regularly equipped with a bronze - mounted manual vent cleaner. Each Nozzle is furnished with leveling lugs for correct setting of the Nozzle. Vent cleaner and piezometer tap can be on right oL-�ft side of Nozzle, as specified by the customer. Where the Nozzle is inaccessible for manual cleaning, a hydraulically- operated vent cleaner is recommended. This is furnished complete with three -way valve and is available either for installation on right or left side of Nozzle. Operates on 25 p.s.i. water pressure. SPECIFICATIONS The primary measuring device shall be a Kennison Open Flow Nozzle (or a Half- Section, 6" Kennison Nozzle) . or equal, having body of cast MEEHANITE iron with flanged inlet connection faced and drilled 125# Amer- ican (1928) Standard. The Nozzle shall have a through- way with flat invert, having no depressions nor summits to collect sediment. The Nozzle shall be of Half- Section design and supplied with a dividing plate to extend into the upstream ap- proach pipe five feet. ( Applies only where Half- Section type is desired.) The design shall be suitable for measuring the flow under conditions of low head with the line flowing partly filled. It shall be arranged for free discharge, and shill have specially shaped cross - section to produce substantially equal increments of head for equal incre- ments of flow rate over the normal flow range. The piezometer opening shall be bronze bushed, and shall be tapped for two -inch pressure connections to a float pipe. All changes in direction of piping from piezometer hole to float pipe shall be made by plugged crosses. The piezometer opening shall be equipped with a bronze cleaner stem. At the top of the float pipe there shall be introduced a continuous small stream of clear water to create a back flow in the pressure piping to minimize clogging.
