WTP

The proposed project consists of replacing the current RBC units at the treatment plant with the used ones that we have stored on site. 13-WTP-001 RBC UNIT REPLACEMENT The Department anticipates replacing several units per year, as needed. Several years ago, the Department was able to purchase used RBC's that were still is good working condition for a fraction of the price. These are currently being stored a the plant ready to be installed as old ones wear out. The budget will be impacted on an annual basis for installation of the new RBC units. Maintenance costs on the units should be lower. The proposed project will replace the lower gear unit on one of the screw pumps at the wastewater treatment plant. These pumps are used to transfer sewage into the treatment facility. The old gear unit will be refurbished for use as a spare. 19-WTP-001 SCREW PUMP LOWER UNIT
