Project estimated cost:            $5,476,700.00

ALBERTINI WELLS WATER TREATMENT PLANT

The project involves the construction of a greensand filtration water treatment plant for treating the water produced by the three Albertini Wells to reduce the iron and manganese levels to below the secondary drinking water standards.  The green sand filtration technology is a cost-effective and simple to operate technology that is the same technology that is being used at the Town’s Dustin and Prescott Water Treatment Facility.

The project also includes a chlorine contact tank designed to provide the contact time required to meet the Log-4 removal of viruses and provide compliance with the EPA Ground Water Rule.

The three existing Albertini Well pumping stations are antiquated and the buildings require significant upgrade.  The project includes demolishing all three pump station buildings and converting the pump stations into submersible well pumping stations.

Project estimated cost:            $5,966,200.00
