1997- 09 -08. Wastewater Treatment Plant Workshop
Mayor Walter Parker opened the workshop by introducing Mr.
Bill Lovett and Mr. Bob Whelchel of Hussy, Gay, Bell and DeYoung,
Inc. the city's engineering firm for the water sewer department.
Members of Council present were Ed Merves, Mallory Pearce, John
O'Neill. Superintendent George Reese was also present.
Mr. Lovett stated that H.G.B.& DeY. were asked by George
Reese to take a look at the waste water treatment plant because
of the plant being in violation of EPD during the months of July
and August for the past three years. The months of March and
April are close to the limit also. it is not every day during
those months that we go over the 1 million gallons a day. Bob
said that he has done a study and we are at the 89 wastewater
flow projection, with the upgrade it will last us for 20 years at
2 million gallons a day. Estimated cost for the upgrade would be
in the amount of 4 million dollars.
After much, discussion concerning the plant upgrade and how
to pay for this project it was decided to meet with EPD and ask
their advice on how to proceed.
