Project Title:
HWU - South Water Treatment Plant Expansion

Project Description:
This project will increase the current South Water Treatment Plant from 4MGD to 8MGD. The increase in facilities will allow HWU to provide greater service to those areas of Henderson, Webster and McLean counties that are underserved and unserved. DOW has noted a regulatory compliance issue associated with this project. The proposed project is being designed in a phased manner, allowing incremental capacity upgrades. This project is a regional project affecting three counties and impacts economic development for the 4-Star Industrial Park. All construction methods utilized and components included will be considered energy efficient and additional treatment technology to effectively reduce residuals.

Need For Project: Briefly describe how this project promotes public health or achieves and/or maintains compliance with the Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act:
This project will allow the system to deal with the above mentioned DOW compliance issues

Project Alternatives:

Alternate A:

Note: If project includes the construction of a new treatment plant or upgrade to existing plant, please explain regionalization options here.

Do nothing

Alternate B:

Construct one treatment plant to serve both the North and South system.

Green Infrastructure:

Green stormwater infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales that manage wet weather and that maintains and restores natural hydrology by infiltrating, evapotranspiring and harvesting and using stormwater. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains, and wetlands, coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall imperviousness in a watershed. On the local scale, green infrastructure consists of site and neighborhood-specific practices, such as:

Item 2:	Trees
Item 3:	Green Roofs
Item 4:	Permeable Pavement
Item 5:	Cisterns
