and how long does it take to get there?

Dry Hydrant (263rd & 103rd South) 1.65 miles  Garden Plain                         4.75 miles Conway Springs                     6.54 miles Clearwater                              9.14 milesDry Hydrant at Lake Afton      10.09 miles Station #35                             13.98 miles Goddard                                  16.64 milesStation #34                              16.72 miles Cheney                                    17.81 milesStation #17 20.73 miles Station #31                               21.99 miles

Water Shuttle OperationsTender Cycle Time =

10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes each additional mile(Calculated one way and not for a round trip)

Example #1: Viola to Conway Springs: 6.5 miles travel distance (round up) 10 minutes the first mile + 12 minutes for six miles Tender Cycle Time = 22 minutes

Example #2: Viola to Clearwater: 9.4 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 18 minutes for nine miles Tender Cycle Time = 28 minutes

Example #3: Viola to 103rd S. & 263rd West: 2 miles travel distance 10 minutes the first mile + 2 minutes for the last mile Tender Cycle Time = 12 minutes

Water Shuttle OperationsTenders Required =

Tender Cycle Time X GPM Flow Tender Capacity

Example #1: 28 minutes X 1000 GPM = 11.2 Tenders 2500 Gallons (Round Up)

28 minutes X 650 GPM = 7.2 Tenders 2500 Gallons

Example #2: 22 minutes X 1000 GPM = 8.8 Tenders 2500 Gallons

22 minutes X 650 GPM = 5.7 Tenders 2500 Gallons

Example #3: 12 minutes X 1000 GPM = 4.8 Tenders 2500 Gallons

12 minutes X 650 GPM = 3.1 Tenders 2500 Gallons(Consider one additional tender for safety margin!)
