Secondary Treatment and Dewatering Project (Main Package)

Status: In construction

Schedule: Completion expected Winter 2028

Construction Cost: $278M

Project Goal: To improve various components of secondary treatment and solids handling processes to meet anticipated future regulatory requirements.

Project/Construction information: This project is constructing conventional activated sludge facilities, as the main method to provide secondary treatment. The existing ponds, air flotation tanks, and fixed growth reactors will remain in service to augment the new facilities during periods of high flow.

The project also involves the construction of a new thickening and dewatering building to house solids-handling equipment and accommodate the additional biosolids generated, as well as a new odor control system to treat odorous air ventilated from the new building.
