Construction is currently underway with progress moving forward on schedule. The South egg-shaped anaerobic digester has been drained and cleaned. Construction crews have set up scaffolding systems so they can safely work inside for the next couple of months as they rehabilitate the tanks, piping and walls.
The existing digested sludge tank has been in operation since 1951. Over its lifetime, it had been repurposed as a primary clarifier and chlorine disinfection. The tank size needed to be expanded to accommodate the new Phosphorus treatment process and to obtain additional operational efficiencies.
