What We're Doing
The Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Finished Water Pump Station (FWPS) provides all water service, including fire protection, to the entire municipal distribution system and surrounding rural service areas. The existing FWPS was constructed in the early 1980s, is now undersized for projected water demands, is deteriorating due to use and age and in need of rehabilitation or replacement. The Project Team evaluated replacement pumps versus a new FWPS. Replacing the pumps in-place requires complex phasing and numerous short-term, high-risk outages associated with maintaining continuous service to the distribution system. Additionally, a temporary pumping system was needed, but a system that is compliant with public health and safety regulations is not available. Therefore, a new FWPS was selected and will be constructed south of the existing FWPS. Along with the new FWPS, the existing 1.5 Million Gallon steel clearwell, the original finished water storage tank at the WTP, will be replaced due to age, condition and safety issues.
