The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) was recognized by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC), of Virginia on Feb. 6, 2020 for their Sedimentation Basins Improvements Project. The ACEC presented engineering excellence awards for projects demonstrating exceptional innovation, complexity, achievement and value.
The WTP’s project improved operations, equipment reliability and decreased maintenance costs by upgrading the replacement of the flocculator, mixer motors and motor control centers. As part of the new equipment installation, structural repairs were made to basin walls and basin floors were modified. Four basins, including the existing TracVac system with the hose-less collection system, were replaced. Started in the fall of 2014, the project resulted in a higher rate of clarification for filtration and water treatment.
