BACKGROUND:
This project provides for the design of gravity filter improvements and basin rehabilitation / improvements at the Townsend Water Treatment Plant.

Treatment filter operation automation improvements will be designed as well.
An evaluation and design of hydraulic and mixing improvements to flocculation basins #1, #2, and #3 will be performed in order to restore their function with up-to-date vertical mixing equipment. The deteriorating concrete sedimentation basin walls will be addressed in the design as well.
Once the design phase is complete, a future construction project in FY 15-16, will be presented to Council for award so the proposed improvements can be constructed.
