Background Information
In 2019 CDM Smith, Inc. completed an evaluation of the structural integrity of the surface water treatment plant identifying and prioritizing repairs and improvements needed throughout the plant. Because of the overall cost, the Department of Utilities budgeted funding to complete the necessary improvements over several years.
Phase 3 is the final phase of the project, and includes planned improvements to Flocculation Tank #2, Filter #2, Clearwell #2, Pump Room #2 and Clarifier #1.
