Project Name: Utoy Creek WRC – Aeration Tanks/Slide Gates

The Utoy Creek Water Reclamation Center (WRC), constructed in 1936 and expanded in 2000, provides wastewater treatment for the service area that encompasses portions of Southwest Atlanta, Northwest Atlanta, East Point and a portion of Fulton County. The Utoy Creek WRC is designed to treat 44 million gallons per day (mgd) of wastewater for discharge into the Chattahoochee River under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. 
 
The aeration basins at the Utoy Creek WRC have significant accumulations of sediment. Removing this sediment will improve process efficiency. The aluminum slide gates, which control the flow between the aerobic and anoxic sections have corroded and need to be replaced. 
 
The scope of this project includes: 

•   Cleaning out the aeration basin tanks of sedimentation 
•   Replacing aluminum slide gates 
•   Repairing and replacing any damaged air diffusers and piping 

 
Justification: 

•   Improves efficiency and reliability of the Utoy Creek WRC 
•   Facilitates compliance with NPDES Permit  
•   Reduces annual operating costs
