Wastewater Plants (East and West) Priority Repairs
Capital Project Summary
The existing wastewater plants are old, and many of the components need repair. The City hired CPH Engineers to design the plant's improvements and get them approved by the State. The City is cleaning out the tanks that are currently full of debris. Synagro, a specialty company in wastewater cleaning, is doing the work.
The clean tanks allow SGS Construction to repair the metal and the aeration system inside the tanks. They will also install new screens to prevent the debris from entering the plant, clogging up the facilities. These repairs are to allow treatment to continue. The work is emphasizing the problem in the plants with several unexpected breakdowns. These breakdowns are evident to everyone, residents and wastewater staff alike, in odors around the plant. Work is underway now at both East and West wastewater plants. The anticipated completion date of the repairs is 2021.
This is part of the overall process of replacing the wastewater plants.
Below is the projected timeline for the overall replacement:
