The purpose of this project is to address the repair or replacement of raw water pump station valves, flow meters, flocculation basin inlet channel hydraulic modifications, gates and probes, sedimentation basin weir plate, filter effluent pipes, meters, chemical feed area piping, chemical and maintenance building minor repairs, solids handling backwash equalization basin pumps, sludge blanket monitoring, backwash clarifier mechanism, various electrical equipment such as transformers, standby generators, electrical panels and modifications at the administration building area, electrical building, and chemical building.
