Primary Details
The Chemical System Improvements project will optimize facility performance capabilities, improve water quality and expand our water treatment capacity. This project will rehabilitate and replace existing infrastructure and eliminate deteriorating facilities and equipment to increase operational and maintenance efficiency. New infrastructure upgrades will increase our capacity to produce drinking water and we will also add new back-up systems to strengthen our resiliency when faced with a natural disaster or other emergency. New treatment processes will also be explored to achieve the twin goals of enhancing the taste and odor of our drinking water while reducing the use of water treatment chemicals.
This project will involve improvements to the facility, consist of a new On-Site Sodium Hypochlorite Generation (OSHG) Facility, abandonment and demolition of the existing 90-ton Rail Car Chlorine Storage and Feed System, replacement of the current Anhydrous Ammonia System with an alternate type of ammonia system, rehabilitation of the existing Chemical Pipe Trenches. All aspects of this work will be designed and constructed for a maximum daily rated capacity of 140 MGD.
