Additions to the City of West Point Water Pollution Control Plant
Increase treatment capacity to 2.0 mgd
Presently under design
The City of West Point has a water pollution control plant with a permitted capacity of 1.0 mgd and consists of an influent screen structure, two aeration basins, two final clarifiers and a chlorine contact chamber. Sludge handling facilities consist of an aerobic digester, a sludge holding tank and sludge drying beds. A small control building contains a laboratory, restroom, chlorine room, motor control center, return sludge and waste sludge pumps and a storage area. No major improvements have been made since it was placed in operation in 1972.
The City is increasing the treatment capacity to 2.0 mgd to meet projected demands from the future KIA Automotive Plant and maintain service for existing customers.
Additions to the existing plant include construction of a new influent structure, new aeration basins, new clarifiers, an ultra violet disinfection system, return sludge pump station, sludge dewatering building and modifications to the existing aeration basins and control building.
The total estimated project cost is $10,156,000. The City anticipates receiving bids in early 2008. |
