SUMMARY

PROJECT TITLE: Wastewater System - WWTP: Dewatering Facility/ Solids Handling

DEPARTMENT: Public Works

BUDGET CODE: 440-750-594.35-63-CFP-SEW-00011

JUSTIFICATION: Improves existing service

START DATE (FY): TBD

END DATE (FY): TBD

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Construct a new, or expand the existing, solids handling/dewatering facility at Operations to accommodate septage sludge from the WWTP

REcommendation:

Current facility is inadequate to take care of current septage and other solids dewatering requirements. A considerable amount of staff time is taken by current system as well as reintroducing difficult material to flat/slow sewer lines this causes other issues. Relocating the facility to the WWTP would likely require an indoor facility with substantial odor control due to the plant being located near the downtown area in a residential neighborhood. Further discussions and evaluation are required to determine the best location for the facility.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES / STATUS:

Moved forward from 2022 to 2023.
