By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT Located on a 266-acre site, the new $83.5 million Greenfield water treatment plant for Huntsville Utilities will be the most expensive construction project in the utility’s 75- year history. When completed in March 2018, the plant is expected to treat 12 million gallons of drinking water per day. “Demand for water from our system is regularly reaching 80 percent of our capacity,” said Joe Gehrdes, director of communications and public relations of Huntsville Utilities. “With water systems, 80 percent capacity demand tells you additional capacity is needed to insure the supply can con- tinue accommodating demand, while also providing for growth. Discussion and design began after demand crossed that threshold. It really just took that much time to put a proj- ect of this magnitude together.” Huntsville Waterworks was founded in 1823. Hollowed cedar logs were used as pipes, and a wooden storage tank served as a reservoir. It was Alabama’s first public water system. Today, the publicly-owned, not-for-profit utility serves 90,000 water customers in Madison County. As for the site chosen for the new plant — near the inter- section of Highway 431 and Guntersville Dam Road — Gehrdes called it a good fit. “Huntsville Utilities has two existing surface water plants on the Tennessee River, so the position of this plant made perfect sense from a redundancy and system reliability per- spective,” said Gehrdes. The project will be funded with municipal bonds. The project includes a raw water intake structure, 42-in. (106.6 cm) raw water main pipelines, a conventional settling WTP and a 48-in. (121.9 cm) finished water main pipeline. “The design is necessary for surface water treatment. Additional treatment is required to meet current and future drinking water regulations,” said Gehrdes. “The timeline for project completion is approximately 30 months. “A safe water supply is a foundational requirement for any community. We must be able to supply safe drinking water with the necessary capacity to provide what our community needs now and in the future,” said Gehrdes. “We are incor- porating state-of-the-art security equipment into this project. Security is a very important aspect of any water supply. “Water treatment of any kind is a huge responsibility.

Right now we’re stripping top soil and the mass excavation has started. There are also mobilization activities underway installing laydown areas, construction entrances and temporary office space.” There will be significant structural concrete work and over 10 mi. (16 km) of ductile iron pipeline work to com- plete the project. As for the raw water intake structure, Harris said it will require both on-shore and marine work that will be challenging from a geotechnical and environmental standpoint. “However, our team has extensive experience in this work.

Huntsville Utilities Constructs Water Treatment Facilityresponsible for pumping water from thereservoir approximately three mi. (4.8 m)through the raw water main to the watertreatment plant. At the plant, the water willbe treated and then pumped approximatelyeight miles through the finished water mainto the existing Huntsville Utilities water sys-tem.

To determine the necessary treatmentprocesses, Huntsville Utilities and TetraTech began a year-long water quality studyto ascertain the makeup of the source waterit would treat at the new treatment plant.After that data was compiled and analyzed,the team began a series of pilot tests to deter-mine the most effective treatment options forthe new plant, and focused particularly ondisinfection byproduct control. Pilot testingincluded powdered activated carbon, granu-lar activated carbon, biologically activatedcarbon, MIEX, MIOX, fixed bed ionexchange, membranes and chloramines.Conventional treatment processes with theaddition of granular activated carbon waschosen.

Dunaway explained that 24-MGD will bethe treatment capacity of the plant after ithas been constructed and received its per-mits from the Alabama Department ofEnvironmental Management (ADEM).Split treatment granular activated carbon isthe treatment process chosen to control dis-infection byproducts.

“Where chlorine is used as a disinfectionagent, it can react with naturally presentcompounds in the raw water and produce arange of federal/state regulated disinfectionbyproducts,” Dunaway said. “The treatmentprocesses have been chosen to exceed allcurrent and future regulatory requirementsfor disinfection byproducts.

“Our job as a consultant is to work with

our client, to present solutions that meet theirfinancial constraints, schedule and all cur-rent and future regulatory requirements.Paramount to delivering a successful projectis to partner with our client, to listen to ourclient and to respond to our client like theyare our only client.

“Success hinges on having a client who'sknowledgeable in all aspects of water treat-ment, distribution and construction. From aproject technical perspective, it’s vital to putyour best team on the project, maintain teamcontinuity, break down the large tasks intosmaller manageable tasks and be prepared tohit change head-first.”

A number of the state and federal agencieshad to approve the project before construc-tion could begin, including the TennesseeValley Authority, the Army Corps ofEngineers and ADEM. Huntsville Utilitieswater supply superintendent Gary Bailey,who’s responsible for reviewing the designof the treatment plant and the pumping sta-tion and selecting acceptable equipment forthe water treatment plant, is working closelywith the contractor, Tetra Tech and ADEMto ensure the plant is built to specs and willfunction properly when completed. As theproject progresses, any problems will be dis-cussed with Huntsville Utilities and otherparties involved to find the best solution andkeep costs of the project within budget.

“With a project this large, a lot of time willbe spent with Tetra Tech and the contractoraddressing problems that will arise duringconstruction on a daily basis,” Bailey said.“One must stay closely involved in a projectof this nature, in order to work out issues asthey occur, rather than allowing them tosnowball into very costly problems. We willapproach this as a team effort to make surewe stay ahead of issues.”

Bailey said it’s crucial the plant be builtcorrectly and that provisions for future regu-lations be considered.

“Keeping costs under control is extremelyimportant to maintain our customers’ trust.This water plant will serve future genera-tions, and it’s a great responsibility knowingwhat we do now will affect this area formany years to come. The greatest challengeis to incorporate future growth and regula-tions while keeping the costs under controland delivering our customers a great prod-uct.

“Huntsville Utilities is very conscious ofthe cost of the plant and we have workedvery hard to make sure resources have beenused wisely. The quality of drinking water issomething we will not compromise. Havinga safe, adequate supply of water will helpour area continue to grow, which providesjobs for the residences. Delivering safe

drinking water to our customers is a 24/7,365 job, and one that is not taken lightly. Weknow we’re doing our job when customersturn on their faucets and always have a plen-tiful supply of safe drinking water, whilenever giving it a second thought.”

Huntsville Utilities is currently reachingthe capacity of its water system during peakperiods. Bailey said the new plant will pro-vide the additional capacity needed for manyyears to come, while continuing to allownew industries to locate in Madison County.

“The plant is being designed so that it caneasily be expanded in order to meet futuregrowth for our customers. The plant will alsoadd more redundancy to our water supply sothat we can make sure that our customershave a continuous supply of safe drinkingwater. This plant will be our third surfacewater plant on the Tennessee River and willallow a plant to be taken off line for mainte-nance and / or upgrades while still supplyingour customers with water.

“I think our customers’ support ofHuntsville Utilities building a new waterplant speaks highly of them. In the early1960s, it was decided to build a water plantthat has allowed our area to grow while pro-viding customers with a plentiful supply ofsafe drinking water. Many areas of the coun-try are facing water shortages and are forcedto limit water to industry and customers,which has caused the costs of water to sky-rocket. The decision to build a new plant willnot only meet our current demands, but alsoenable this area to continue to grow and pro-vide jobs for our children and grandchil-dren.”
