Town of New Baltimore

Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades

Estimated Cost:
$3 Million

Facility Capacity:
0.60 MGD

The Town of New Baltimore owns and operates a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) constructed in 1983. In the spring of 2012, the Town issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for engineering services to evaluate the existing collection and treatment systems and review alternatives. Delaware Engineering was selected to prepare a engineering report and begin preliminary design work on a series of plant upgrades to address operational deficiencies and replace aging equipment, including:

• New Headworks Building with Mechanical Screen and Grit Removal
• New Secondary Clarifiers
• New UV Disinfection
• Converting a secondary clarifier into an aerobic sludge digester
• Recoating a steel EQ tank
• Site work and interior building improvements

Delaware assisted the Town with design, permitting, bidding and construction, as well as procuring funding for the project.  This included an Engineering Planning Grant for preliminary design and $3 million in low-cost financing through EFC’s Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund.
