Ellijay-Gilmer County Water and Sewerage Authority
Additions to the City of Ellijay Water Pollution Control Plant
Increase treatment capacity to 4.0 mgd
Under construction
The Ellijay Water Pollution Control Plant was operating with a permitted treatment capacity of 2.5 mgd and consisted of two primary clarifiers, vertical loop reactors, two additional aeration basins, two final clarifiers (not in service), two circular final clarifiers, a chlorine contact chamber, an aerobic digester, and sludge dewatering equipment.
The plant was operating at 95% of treatment capacity. To increase the plant from 2.5 mgd to 4.0 mgd required modifications to the existing aeration basins, aerobic digester, tertiary filters, additions to the chlorine contact chamber and construction of a new screen structure, aerobic digester and chemical storage area.
Bids were received in November 2006. The construction contract was awarded to H. C. Coleman and Co., Inc. in the amount of $6,688,700.
Estimated completion date is September 2008. |
