Problem 3(20 points)
A small community has experienced shortages in potable drinking water over the past several years. In response, the city engineer has proposed construction of a new pipeline that will transfer 30 MGD (million gallons per day) from a reservoir (constructed lake) to the water treatment plant 3.5 miles away. The reservoir water surface is 25 feet above the pipe entrance. The pipe slope is 1.5% and terminates to atmospheric pressure. Compute the minimum required diameter for a ductile iron pipe (DIP). Report your final answer to three decimal places in both inches and feet. The equivalent sand grain roughness for DIP is 0.0004 feet.
