WWTP Project
The Combined Sewer Overflow/Plant Upgrade project is nearing the final stretch. It is a testament to Chuck’s fine planning and management of the project, and the efforts of the whole team Chuck has assembled that a $7.2 million project has proceeded with hardly a hitch or a hiccup!
The new primary clarifier is a few weeks away from testing; a temporary sludge press is operating outside the building allowing for removal (and auctioning) of the old press and installation of the new press; the new pipe installation is complete between the Maine Avenue Pump Station and the plant and the Maine Avenue Pump Station is due for high capacity testing soon; plant ventilation will be complete in early fall and the entire project is due to reach substantial completion by November. This project is under budget and more than six months ahead of schedule - the news doesn’t get much better than that. Congratulations to the project team!
