Background Information
The Myakkahatchee Creek Water Treatment Plant (MCWTP) consists of a 4.4 million gallon per day (MGD) surface water treatment plant and a 1.5 MGD reverse osmosis (RO) membrane treatment plant. After treated water is disinfected in one of the plant’s clearwells, it is pumped by the transfer pumps to the onsite ground storage tanks. The existing transfer pumping system is insufficient to meet the current combined plant design flow rate. Upgrades to the transfer pumping systems for the two surface water treatment trains will include replacement of the existing pump and modifications to the existing piping on Train No. 1 and the installation of a transfer pump and associated piping on Train No. 2 as well as the replacement of the electrical wiring and components.
