Project Name: South River WRC Filter Refurbishment
Constructed in 1936, the South River Water Reclamation Center (WRC) provides wastewater treatment for the service area that encompasses portions of Atlanta, East Point, College Park, Hapeville, Forest Park, DeKalb County, and Clayton County. South River WRC also treats partially treated wastewater from the Intrenchment Creek WRC. This facility is designed to treat 54 million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater for discharge into the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit.
Sand filtration at South River WRC is essential to permit compliance for total suspended solids and it has been identified that both the sand filter media and ancillary equipment need replacement.
The scope of the project includes:
Replacing filter media for 12 filters
Repairing filter underdrains
Repairing/replacing three air scour blowers
Justification:
Improves plant reliability and performance
Reduces emergency and corrective maintenance
