Design and Construction
Each chlorine booster station would consist of: Chlorine
storage of two one-ton cylinders; an automatic chlorinator
(range 0-200 hounds her day) actuated by the existing venturi
meter flow rate and transmitted by means of telemetering to the
booster station; safety features to prevent chlorine leakage,
including a detection and alarm system; and a permanent all
weather concrete block building housing all equipment, pro-
tected by both fencing and landscaping.
Some five complete sets of identical equipment, each
for one station, are proposed for purchase so that a spare
unit would be available at all times for replacement. This
equipment will be purchased in advance to save time, and •
furnished to a contractor for installation during con-
struction of each booster station. Bids have been received
from three qualified equipment manufacturers and award to the
low bidder has been recommended.
The location of each booster station has been selected
to insure an accessible site as remote from existing residences
as possible. Although every safety precaution and feature avail-

are being incorporated into the project, it is good practice
to seek locations remote from 'residences to the extent avail-
able . Consideration of hurricane tide flooding and possible
erosion of the causeway fill has been a factor in selecting
each site . A drawing of a typical installation has been
completed and approved by the City of Miami Beach.
Agreement Between the Authority
and the City of Miami Beach
The extreme urgency of proceeding rapidly with the coy— if
plete installation of this project on an emergency basis has

the complete installation of each of the four
proposed chlorine booster stations, subject
