Project Title:
Hodgenville Water Works Treatment Plant Expansion

Project Description:
Hodgenville Water Works is seeking to renovate its treatment plant via the addition of a second sedimentation basin and clear well which would increase the capacity of the plant from approximately 1MGD to 1.6MGD and the hold time from approximately 1.4 days to 1.6 days. Renovations also include the remodeling of the interior of the plant, automation of filter backwash, harvesting of rainwater and graywater among other things. HWW also proposes to restore and improve its source water through methods of dredging and algae reduction. Finally, HWW plans to remediate lead service lines throughout its system.

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:
Since the announcement of Blue Oval, it is widely expected that LaRue County will need to bear its fair share of residential expansion. If the growth is within the Hodgenville service area, domestic demand will increase. If the growth happens outside the Hodgenville service area (i.e. LaRue County Water District 1 service area), wholesale demand will increase as Hodgenville Water supplies the bulk of LCWD1 water. Additionally, Hodgenville desires to proactively seek ways to mitigate PFAS, lead service and other contaminant issues through a streamlined treatment process that will control future treatment costs for its customers. Finally, diminishing source water capacity is a growing concern with McDougal and Salem Lakes.

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.

Purchase water from the closest adjoining source (Hardin County Water District #2) requiring the conversion to chloramine disinfection.  To purchase any significant amount, transmissibility would need to be upgraded at proposed purchase points.

Alternate B:

Dramatically expand transmissibility to purchase from an adjacent chlorine system (i.e. Green River Valley Water District, Greensburg Water or Campbellsville Water).

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:

Component		Cost
Item 1:	Bioretention
Item 2:	Trees
Item 3:	Green Roofs
Item 4:	Permeable Pavement	$50,000
Item 5:	Cisterns	$50,000
