The City was approaching the one mgd design capacity of their 25+ year old oxidation ditch wastewater treatment facility. Due to a State TMDL study, a new effluent 0.1 mg/L phosphorus limit was placed on the facility. To meet the new effluent limits and provide additional design capacity, improvements to the facility were completed. The project intercepted the waste stream in the existing headworks channels, diverting it to a new treatment process. This process included screening and grit removal, anoxic and aeration tanks, membrane tanks, process blowers and pumps, chemical feed equipment, ultraviolet disinfection, a secondary water system, and electrical/controls equipment—all contained in a 114’ by 76’ building footprint. The upgrade included all capital facilities and equipment required to treat 2.0 mgd, with membrane capacity of 1.75 mgd. The City can easily increase their hydraulic capacity by adding membranes. A belt filter press facility was added to solids handling, along with improvements to the digester aeration and mixing equipment. AQUA Engineering also designed a project for pumping, storage, and distribution of treated wastewater effluent. High-quality effluent from the City’s plant is delivered to the reservoir via a 16” main that connects to the gravity portion of the irrigation system. The pumping facility uses two abandoned clarifiers for suction storage that supply three VFD-equipped vertical turbine can pumps capable of delivering 2,100 gpm to the reservoir. AQUA obtained funding from the Utah Division of Water Resources.
