Project goals included regulatory requirements and design preferences
• Improve system reliability • Reduce SSOs by 2012 • Increase capacity from 29 to 68 mgd without
compromising dry weather flows • Maintain free water surface below crown of
influent pipe • Address maintenance issues
– Low flow + wide wet well = solids accumulation
