Executive Summary:
The electrical and control systems at ONSWTP are generally in very good condition. Upgrades over the
past 7 years have replaced a significant amount of the distribution systems. Power Control Room (PCR)
#7,8,&9 are new and PCR#1, 2, &3 have had relay upgrades or are in process of relay upgrades.
Several projects are underway to improve monitoring(SCADA)of the major substation power systems
and establish a backbone to allow extending the monitoring of additional substations. The future
projects anticipated over the next 5 years will increase electrical load to the plant by 4 to 6 MVA,almost
doubling its current electrical demand.
Power is routed to the plant by the local utility company, on wooden poles at 69KV. It is then
transformed to 5KV and routed through PCR#1 to the plant. The study identified single point failure
concerns in the area of PCR#1, being it is the only source for power throughout the facility. Additional
risk exposure lies with the single cable routed in overhead cable tray feeding power to HS#2 and HS#3,
the only pumping systems for the plant. The probability of a catastrophic failure of the two single point
failures identified is very low, but the consequence is very high, and would result in extended power
outages and loss of water production and distribution pumping.
To improve the electrical reliability and eliminate the identified single point failures would require
installation of a new AEP substation and in-plant distribution sourced from the AEP 138KV lines. This
infrastructure would require approximately$8 to$10 million in capital investment but would "harden"
the power system with multiple power sources.
Other areas of the plant have opportunities for electrical reliability improvement by replacing obsolete
equipment;that which is no longer supported by the manufacturers or not repairable because parts are
not available. Finally, improvement in the electrical systems documentation and maintenance
management systems will aid greatly in improved reliability and efficiency in execution of electrical
work.
Background:
The City of Corpus Christi Texas operates one(1)water treatment plant,O.N.Stevens Water Treatment
Plant,which is rated for 161.5 million gallons per day(MGD), with plans to expand to 200 MGD. The
plant is the only water plant supplying the metro area of Corpus Christi,therefore electrical reliability is
critical to the mission of delivering water and maintaining water distribution quality. The plant receives
power from the local electrical utility,AEP, at 69KV which is then transformed to 4160V by AEP owned
transformers. The power is then fed to plant owned PCR#1(the Main Substation)switchgear which
allows distribution throughout the plant via cabling in underground duct banks,cable trays, and
overhead lines to downstream substations, PCR#2 through#9. The power is then distributed to
MCCs, panelboards,and other loads via city-owned switchgear,transformers, and cabling. The
Northwest side of the plant is supplied by underground power cables in concrete duct banks originating
at PCR#1,while the Southeast side of the plant is routed in overhead cable trays. PCR#6 at the filter
water recovery pond is fed by overhead CLX cable routed on poles. The following table summarizes the
major power sources and voltages for PCRs and other system loads.

Table 5 Typical Life Expectancy of Electrical Equipment
Assessment:
The electrical and control systems at ONSWTP are generally in very good condition. Recent upgrades
over the past 7 years have replaced a significant amount of the distribution systems. PCR#7,8, &9 are
new and PCR# 1,2, &3 have had relay upgrades or are in process of relay upgrades. The following is a
breakout of each of the major power distribution components within the overall plant system.
AEP Substation
The AEP substation receives power at 69KV from two sources. Cables to the station are routed on wood
poles and looped through the substation. The tie breaker between the two lines is maintained in the
Bath Engineering Corporation
Texas Firm Registration NO.F-829 Project#3450-11
5656 S Staples Suite 110,Corpus Christi TX 78411 Page 6
OPEN position. If power is lost on one incoming line,the second line will carry the load. The 69KV line
is not regulated to the same standard as higher voltages of 138KV and 345KV. The station was originally
installed in 1954 with upgrades over the years. Catastrophic failure at this station or the two 69KV
lines serving the station would result in loss of utility power. Plant owned backup generators are
adequate to carry the entire plant load today and additional generation should be added as plant
loading increases.
PCR# 1
PCR#1 is the main electrical substation. All power to the facility is routed from AEP through PCR# 1.
Additionally,the backup generators are connected to the plant via the switchgear in PCR#1. The existing
switchgear is approximately 20 years old with a life expectancy of 40 years. Recent projects have
upgraded the protective relaying for the gear. Overall the gear is in good condition.
Catastrophic failure at this station would result in loss of all sources of power in the plant. PCR#1
substation building is a single point failure point in the distribution which could result in an extended
long-term outage. Failure scenarios include,fire in the building,water damage,or damage due to
hurricane or other storms. Although the electrical systems at PCR#1 are redundant and backed up by
generators,the equipment is all located in one building,thus failure of the building could interrupt the
power sources. PCR#1 building should have a high level of attention and have maintenance conducted
regularly to the building and equipment within it. Past upgrades have identified some foreign materials
inside the breaker compartments and evidence of rodent presence. The building should be inspected
and rodent ingress points closed off. Regular pest inspection and controls should be put into place. The
switchgear should be maintained by inspection,cleaning,testing, and calibration at least every 5 years.
PCR#1 also houses the generator paralleling gear. This gear was provided by the generator
manufacturer and should be inspected and maintained by the OEM at least every 5 years. Components
in the paralleling gear are no longer offered in the marketplace but continue to be supported by the
OEM at this time with a life expectancy of 10 years. The gear will require an upgrade within the next 10
years.
Planning has been completed for power system monitoring PCR#1 via a new SEL RTAC, HMI, and
SCADA system integrated with systems from other PCRs and the plant control systems(DCS). This
system should be implemented and will act as the HUB for all power monitoring.
PCR#1 has three spare breakers for future use, and its bus is rated for up to 2000 amps at 4160V which
makes it currently about 50% loaded. Addition of anticipated loads may result in maximizing the bus
capacity in an N-1 condition.
PCR#1 is connected to PCR#2 and PCR#3 via overhead cable tray supported by substantial steel support
structures. All power to the High Service (HS)#2 and#3 is supplied via this single path. Although the
structures are not likely to fail in a hurricane or other wind event,the cable tray and cables are exposed
to potential damage due to flying debris or heavy equipment such as backhoes or cranes. Damage to
the cables would result in loss of pumping at HS#2 and HS#3 which are the only water pumps supplying
the City. Possible options to reduce risk of the single point failure would be:
1) Install generation local to HS#3 or#2 for backup power of sufficient capacity for
emergencies.
Bath Engineering Corporation
Texas Firm Registration NO.F-829 Project#3450-T1
5656 S Staples Suite 110,Corpus Christi TX 78411 Page 7
2) Install a new Substation on the 138KV Transmission Line and distribute power to HS#2&#
3.
3) Install cabling underground to HS#2 and#3, although this does not address the single point
failure of the PCR# 1 and AEP Substation.
The PCR Air Conditioning systems have recently been replaced and are in good working order. The
station has adequate fiber communication. The building and the ancillary equipment are in good
condition and meet the load requirements with adequate spare capacity.
PCR # 2
PCR#2 provides power distribution for MV motors and their controls at HS#1,#2,and#3. HS#1 is
slated for demolition within the next year. These starters are approximately 20 years old and have a life
expectancy of 40 years. A project is underway which will upgrade the protective relaying for the
starters.
Planning is underway to install a power monitoring system at PCR#2 and#3 on the High Service 3
project. The power system will be monitored via a new SEL RTAC, HMI, and SCADA system integrated
with the plant PCR#1 and plant control systems (DCS).

PCR#5 serves the Chemical Storage and Feed area. The station has only one power source connected
at this time from PCR#8. Additional MCCs or a Manual Transfer Switch (MTS)are required to make this
PCR double ended with two power sources.
The PCR Air Conditioning systems have recently been replaced and are in good working order. The
station has adequate fiber communication. The building and the ancillary equipment are in good

PCR # 6
PCR#6 serves the Wash Water Recycle Lagoon#7 area. The primary loads are the Lagoon's water
pumps back to the pre-sedimentation pond.The PCR has two transformers which are fed from a
bifurcated (shared)feeder off the PCR#2 station power transformers. The feeders to PCR#6 are
overhead Metal Clad (MC/CLX)cable strung on wood poles. The station is not critical to operations
and can be backed up by a rental generator. Connections for a power generator should be provided at
PCR#6. The overhead feeder cable will need to be relocated in the future when Train#3 is installed.
The feeder cables should be re-routed and terminated on dedicated breakers at PCR#2 to prevent a
fault from dropping station power at PCR#2.
The PCR Air Conditioning systems are in good working order.The station has adequate fiber
communication.The building and the ancillary equipment are in good condition and meet the load

PCR # 7
PCR#7 is a new building installed in 2012,and serves the filter building,caustic,and fluoride areas of
the plant. It is double ended and will be loop fed when PCR#8 and PCR#9 are connected as part of the
front-end Raw Water and Chemical Feed Improvement projects.This station also serves the air
compressors for the filters backwash. These compressors are fed from starters in PCR#7 but have local
interlocked controls which prevent the two systems to operate simultaneously. This may have been due
to power restrictions from the past feeder configuration or due to process restrictions. The interlock
should be investigated and eliminated if possible.This station is new and modern.

Pre-sedimentation Aeration Blowers
The Pre-sedimentation Aeration Blowers' motor starters are located northwest of PCR#9 in an outdoor
MCC NEMA 3 enclosure. They are fed from a single source,out of PCR#9. They are not critical to
operations. These starters have been subjected to the elements and should be refed from PCR#9
building.
Wash Water Pump House
The Wash Water Pump House is powered from the HS#2 motor starters. These starters are
approximately 20 years old and have a life expectancy of 40 years. Projects underway will upgrade the
protective relaying for the starters. The pumps are controlled via a RIO panel located in the building.
This RIO panel should be replaced with a dedicated PLC controller.
Lab Building
The Lab Building is fed from two 225A,480V feeders from PCR#8 via a Manual Transfer Switch (MTS).
The lab electrical systems are in fair shape and maintainable. The buildings fluorescent lighting needs
to be upgraded to LED throughout. New circuits will be required for anticipated lab benches to be
installed in the future. This work will be completed on work orders.
Chemical Building
The Chemical Building is fed from two 600A,480V feeders from PCR#8 via an MTS. The building 480V
electrical systems have been upgraded, but the lower voltage 208/204/120VAC systems are the original
installed equipment dating back to 1954. These breaker panels,transformers and wiring are obsolete
and beyond service life. Replacement breakers are not readily available in the market and existing units
may not operate properly. If the building is to be utilized long term the panels should be replaced and
all wiring inspected and tested for service life. The building's fluorescent lighting needs to be upgraded
to LED throughout.
Filter Buildings
The Filter Building is fed from multiple 480V feeders from PCR#7 via cable tray and conduits. The
building 480V electrical systems have been upgraded, but the lower voltage 208/204/120VAC systems
are the original installed equipment dating back to 1954. These breaker panels,transformers, and

market and existing units may not operate properly. If the building is to be utilized long term the panels
should be replaced, and all wiring inspected and tested for service life. The building's fluorescent
lighting needs to be upgraded to LED throughout.
Gas Measurement Building
The Gas Measurement Building is fed from two 225A,480V feeders from PCR#8 via an MTS. The
building electrical systems are in fair shape and maintainable. It is anticipated that this building will not
be in service after OSG project is installed.
Staples Street Booster Pump Station
The Staples Street Booster Pump Station (BPS) is fed from a small wood pole mounted 12,470 V
overhead line. The line is subject to normal to more than normal distribution level disruptions. The line
is terminated at the BPS and then goes underground to an AEP owned, pad mounted transformer. The
City takes power at 480V and owns a backup generator. This station was recently upgraded with a new,
three-day fuel capacity,whole facility backup generator and automatic transfer switch (ATS). New line
feeder cables and motor soft starters were also installed.
The controls at this facility are modern after recent upgrades and connected via City owned fiber to the
ONSWTP. The communications link does not have a backup or redundancy;therefore,a second
pathway should be installed. Facility lighting is obsolete and should be upgraded to LEDs.
The pump room ventilation systems are in a state of disrepair and exhibit a high level of corrosion. The
systems should be upgraded or replaced in whole. The water lines in the facility are wet with
condensation due to the pipeline temperatures which may be corrected with insulation.The gate
operator and access controls are not operable and should be repaired or changed to manual.
The overall condition of the electrical gear is in good condition and has adequate capacity for the facility.
Arc Flash labels are not in place on the electrical gear and need to be installed.
Navigation Street Booster Pump Station
The Navigation Blvd BPS is fed from two sizable overhead wood pole mounted 12,470 V overhead lines
along Navigation Blvd. The line is subject to normal distribution level disruptions with industrial and
commercial customers connected to the line. From the overhead lines,two feeders are routed to an
AEP owned ATS. This switch faulted over one year ago, has not been replaced or repaired by AEP and a
temporary jumper has been installed to restore power. Effectively,the plant currently has only one
source of power. The plant has a new,three-day fuel capacity,whole facility backup generator and ATS
that reduces the need for two feeders from AEP.
AEP should be contacted to replace one of the feeders and remove the ATS. The bill should be credited
for the amount of line charges during the time that the service has been single ended and amended for
future billing to include only one line.
The water lines in the facility are wet with condensation due to the pipeline temperatures which may be
corrected with insulation. Facility lighting is obsolete and should be upgraded to LEDs. The gate
operator and access controls are not operable and should be repaired or changed to manual.

The controls at this facility are modern after recent upgrades and connected via City owned fiber to the
ONSWTP. The communications link does not have a backup or redundancy;therefore, a second
pathway for communications should be established. The overall condition of the electrical gear is in
good condition and has adequate capacity for the facility.Arc Flash labels are not in place on the
electrical gear and need to be installed.
Sand Dollar Booster Pump Station
The Sand Dollar BPS is the oldest of the City owned BPS. It is supplied by AEP on an overhead,wood
pole mounted, 12,470 V residential line subject to greater than normal distribution level disruptions due
to its proximity to the coast and tree lines. Power is supplied to the first building via an AEP pad
mounted transformer which appears to be leaking oil. The second building is fed from the same
overhead line but has pole mounted transformers. Arc Flash labels were not in place on the electrical
gear and should be installed. The facility and electrical equipment are obsolete and need to be
replaced. There are several abandoned and out of service panels and enclosures which should be
removed. Plans are underway to upgrade the facility in the near future. Upgrades should include
improvements to the site's overall electrical equipment and electrical reliability.
AC Unit appears to be obsolete and needs to be replaced. The air handler is making noise,which may
indicate impending bearing or belt failure. The site generator has a 400-Gal tank which equates to
about 24 hours under load. The general standard today is three-day, run time fuel capacity.
Communications to ONSWTP is via City Owned fiber,single pathway.
The controls at this facility are modern after recent upgrades and connected via City owned radio link to
the ONSWTP. The communications link does not have a backup or redundancy,therefore a second path
way for communications is recommended.
Nueces River Booster Pump Station
The AEP Station is supplied by two 69KV overhead lines with two sets of transformers which have an
OPEN tie between them. The station is supplied at 4160V from AEP. Recently,AEP replaced one bank
of transformers.
City owned electrical power systems at this facility are in the process of being replaced in whole. The
new system will have double-ended feeders,automatic transfer capability,whole facility backup
generator with three-day fuel storage, and new feeder cables. Additionally, new motor starters and
VFDs are to be installed.The facility,after upgrade will be world class with redundant sources and
modern PLC controls. Controls will have a second pathway of communication with UPS power.The
existing fiber is routed to City Hall IT which has been a reliability issue, but a new dedicated fiber will be
routed with the new 54"water line between the plant and the river station. The City Hall IT fiber will
become secondary and a backup to the dedicated fiber.
The power system will be monitored via a new SEL RTAC, HMI,and SCADA system integrated with the
plant PCR#1 and plant control systems (DCS).
