• Hydraulic upgrades include adjustments to final clarifier weirs, new connection between north and south aeration basins, and new 72” diameter pipes from clarifiers to filters and filters to chlorine contact basins.
• Installation of two 90-ft. diameter sludge holding tanks and associated mixing system(s).
• Replacement and adjustments to final clarifier weirs and effluent troughs.
• Rehabilitation of waste activated sludge pump station and both primary sludge pump stations.
• Construct a new chlorine contact basin and concrete repair for existing chlorine contact basins.
