✦ Synopsis
Black & Veatch will design and oversee construction of the project which will more than triple the water treatment works' capacity. The project involves constructing additional water treatment facilities, increasing the pumping capacities of the secondary raw and fresh water pumping stations and storage capacity of a service reservoir, as well as laying new fresh water mains.
The existing Black & Veatch-designed facility was completed in 2005 and is located on a steep hillside. The design took advantage of the slope and height of the location, stacking the plant's layout based on successive water treatment stages. Black & Veatch also used space-saving technologies to ensure that planned expansions could be confined within the small footprint.
