Project Name: South River WRC Various Projects Group 1

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. The purpose of this project is to upgrade and/or replace the digesters and dewatering system controls at the South River WRC. 
 
The scope of this project includes: 

•   Upgrading the existing digester complex and control building 
•   Modifying the dewatering building 
•   Replacing the centrifuges with three new dewatering centrifuges and  
•   Providing a new polymer feed system

 
 
Justification: 

•   Allows South River WRC to process additional solids from the Intrenchment Creek WRC  
•   Reduces energy, chemical, and labor cost 
•   Leverages existing treatment assets to maintain system capacity  
•   Enhances system operational efficiency and reliability
