Description:
Woodard & Curran, Inc. operates the Town's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located off of Bedford Street, under the direct supervision of the Water and Sewer Division. The plant operates in compliance with the State and Federal issued National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit (NPDES) with a noted change in 2006, which resulted in more stringent phosphorus discharge standards. The present permit requires a phased phosphorus reduction program which must be implemented over a period of several years. To help meet these regulatory requirements, a major rehabilitation and system upgrade project was initiated.
During the summer of 2006, Waterline Industries Corporation, was awarded a multi-year contract to perform this major rehabilitation and upgrade project. The rehabilitation project has been designed to include addition of a new headworks facility, replacement of grit removal equipment, upgrades to the septage receiving area, significant modifications to the sludge handling components, creation of a new building addition to house a pre-purchased tertiary treatment process (CoMag), installation of new ultraviolet disinfection equipment, improved chemical storage and feed systems, electric system upgrades, and integration of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system.
