CAPITAL INVESTMENTS | Wastewater
Treatment Plant Biosolids Pond Dredging
Dredging equipment for Recycled Water Treatment Plant.
DESCRIPTION
| PROJECT ID: | S 19.0 |
| ESTIMATED COST: | $300,000* |
| ACTUAL COST: | TBD |
- Project will include the permitting, dredging, dewatering, and hauling of biosolids to a disposal facility.
- Includes a pre-dredge survey to quantify the total volume of solids, testing of the biosolids, and development of bid documents.
- The contractor is anticipated to be paid based on the volume of solids removed and the water content of the biosolids hauled to the disposal site.
* Total of six years of reserve deposits. Plus inflation, depending on project year.
WHY IT’S NEEDED
The biosolids handling equipment installed in 2018 reduces the total volume of suspended solids within the wastewater but does not eliminate it. Suspended solids will continue to settle out of the water within the lagoon but at a slower rate. Biosolids removal in the lagoon will need to be completed approximately every 20 years, based on current loading rates.
