About The Project
The scope of work for the first capital project includes the design and construction of a new headworks facility that will include a raw sewage pump station, a micro-tunnel extension of existing interceptor sewers, a grit removal system, a main control room, fine screens and compactors, and a plant emergency generator facility. The second capital project includes the design and construction of a new biosolids facility that will address end-of-life equipment and regulatory requirements regarding the recovery of nutrients and maximizing biosolids reuse. It will add new facilities to treat the sludge from the City’s three sewage treatment plants and replace end-of-life equipment. The third capital project includes the design and construction of the nutrient removal facilities that will remove nitrogen and phosphorus from the wastewater.
