Project Title:
Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Project

Project Description:
Project will be an upgrade to the existing plant at McRoberts. Project to include replacement of water process equipment, chemical feed system, electrical supply and system, backup generator, lagoon, building roof and windows, and raw water supply. Replacement of one well pump. All equipment is extremely rusty with many patches. New electrical equipment will include energy efficient controls. New SCADA system will be installed. The project will not affect the plant capacity. The project will also purchase new billing equipment and software if funding allows. The project Includes renovation of the plant and replacement of many items such as pumps, doors, windows, HVAC systems, etc. The renovation will incorporate several energy efficient features to reduce energy consumption compared to the existing plant: 1) Use high efficiency motors on the new pumps 2) Increase building insulation to reduce heat loss 3) Replace doors and windows with units that have reduced heat loss glazing and frames 4) Install occupancy sensors in each room to turn off lights when rooms are unoccupied 5) Replace lighting with high-efficiency types such as LED 6) Use ground or water source heat pump for office, laboratory, break room and restroom type areas The above section has been reviewed by clearinghouse previously. The section below is new: The project will drill a new raw mine well water source to be a back-up source for the plant and extend 6” PVC line to the plant. The current main raw water line will also be replaced with new 6” PVC line. Replace existing meters with radio read meters, a new computer and software. The project will also replace the existing underground pump station located at Goose Creek which is a confined space entry station and is hazardous to the employees with an above ground one. The pump station will be located in the same location and the pumps will continue to be 150 GPM.

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:
Existing plant is outdated and failing. Project will allow the City to maintain service to residents.

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
