PARSON’S RECOMMENDATION FOR REPAIRS TO THE EXISTING WITHLACOOCHEE WPCP
PARSON’S RECOMMENDATION FOR REPAIRS TO THE EXISTING WITHLACOOCHEE WPCP
Following a thorough review of Plant operations with Staff and completion of Plant processes modeling, Parsons has submitted a list of immediate work to ensure the Withlacoochee Plant meets permit requirements until such time as a new Treatment Plant can be completed.
Parson listed 6 specific projects to be undertaken at a total cost of $2.5 million including contingencies. To expedite this work in the shortest possible time frame, the Utilities Department will bring before City Council at the next scheduled meeting a contract amendment to Parsons existing contract to perform engineering, construction and oversight of those 6 projects using the Design/Build concept.
EPD has reviewed the proposed plan and approved it. This work should significantly improve treatment capabilities and help to reduce the frequency and amounts of sewer overflows in the Meadowbrook area until the new treatment plant is online.
