Field of DreamsStand-by Supplemental Power System Project
Background• Power failures in past years• Recent power failure of 2012 resulted in the
required chlorination of our water system• Primarily a health issue• Expensive• Inconvenient• FOD on the DOH watch list for potential mandatory
permanent chlorination
• Disruption of our daily routine• Water use• Septic use
Water System
Septic System
Residential Septic
Solutions
• Supplemental power committee formed • Three main systems required power to
achieve our objectives • Storage tank and pump house (distribution
point)Permanent 45 KW natural gas generator Mounted on concrete base with natural gas line installed by PSE
Solutions, cont.
• Wells and septic fieldsPortable 20KW diesel generatorTrailer mounted to alternate from wells to septic fields
Each system not needed to be powered 100% of the time• Wells once per 4-5 days (depending on
season)• Septic once per 5-6 days
Solutions, cont.
• Maintains system pressure for normal residential use
• Recommended by FOD BOD

back up into home or yard• Homeowner responsible for proper use of their
septic system
Homeowners have Home Septic responsibility in addition to the
Main Water and Septic Stand-by Power Improvements
