Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Collins Park Water Treatment Plant was originally constructed as an 80 million gallons per day plant in 1942 with a 40 million gallons per day expansion in 1956. The filter and pipe gallery systems of the plant have remained largely unchanged. This project will upgrade the existing filters to state of the art biologically active treatment technology, install air scour equipment as a part of the filter backwash system, and refurbish or replace existing piping, valves and valve operators that have reached the end of their service life. Funding for this project is available in the current CIP from the Water Bond Improvement Fund (2018 Bond Issuance) for the Filter and Pipe Gallery Improvement project.
