Project Title:
Central City - GAC Filter Addition Project

Project Description:
This project will add four pressure GAC filters on two skids, after the existing granular filters, providing a firm filtration capacity of 3.6 MGD, or approximately half of the 7.0 MGD capacity of the plant. This will allow operators to filter 0-100% of the current plant production of around 3.0 to 3.5 MGD. Space will be available for an additional skid and feed pump which would bring the GAC filtering capacity to 5.3 MGD. The GAC filter equipment will be placed on an existing unused underground concrete clear well at the plant, and will include filter feed pumps, and enclosure building and related improvements. The project is estimated to cost $7,650,000, and could be in service in 24-30 months depending on the availability of funding.

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:
Recent regulatory changes have made it difficult for the plant to meet permit limits for disinfection byproducts (DBPs), particularly in the farthest reaches of the distribution systems of the two water districts. Plant operators have tried several process changes and alternative treatment approaches with limited effect. This, coupled with impending regulation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have resulted in the need to add a treatment step to the existing conventional process of pre-treatment, coagulation and sedimentation, granular media filtration and chlorine disinfection. This new step will use granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration.

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.

Ion Exchange Treatment:
PFAS can be removed by use of ion exchange resins which function as a selective filter for PFAS removal. With present technology, Ion exchange is more expensive to implement and operate than GAC filtration.

Alternate B:

Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis:
These technologies are essentially higher level membrane filters. They are effective, but very costly to implement, operate and maintain. They also remove desirable minerals from the 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:
