HEALTHY, SAFE AND RESILIENT COMMUNITIES
Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
Reducing I&I into the collection system will ease the burden of extremely high flows through the WWTP during winter/rainy periods. When flows are high, not only is the treatment often insufficient, but the plant may be forced to surface water discharge effluent into the nearby Grist Creek, as happened in 2017 (failed toxicity test), reducing water quality. Another part of this project is to add power resiliency through a new PV power source and Ozone equipment protection to improve operations.
