TRENTON WATER TREATMENT PLANT DESIGN |
| The firm
conducted a study recommending a program for upgrading the Town's water
supply system. The Town's population at the time was about 3400 people.
The water system consisted of four wells, two of which were contaminated
by salt water intrusion and another by surface water infiltration. The
groundwater had high concentrations of manganese and iron of about 8 mg/l.
The study was completed and it outlined a program for upgrading the
system.
The program was implemented including cleaning and disinfecting the wells, drilling an observation well, pump testing the wells, constructing two new production wells and a piping system to connect the wells directly to a new water treatment plant. The water treatment plant reduces the iron and manganese concentrations to an acceptable level. The treatment plant has a capacity of 2.5m3/m. The water then flows into a new 3640m3 storage reservoir. The project was completed on schedule and within budget.
C.J. MacLellan & Associates evaluated the pressure situation in the various neighbourhoods and developed a plan to divide the water systems into two pressure booster stations adjacent to the storage tank. The work included placing 12" diameter transmission pipe to the lower zone and control valves were placed in key locations to allow for interaction between the zones in the event of a major fire.
