in 2012, Delaware Engineering provided planning, permitting, design and construction supervision services for necessary repairs and upgrades to the Village of Athens’ wastewater treatment plant. Upgrades included a new headworks building with fine screening and grit removal, and improvements to the aeration system, secondary clarifier, disinfection system and sludge handling facilities. Due to the site’s location in the Hudson River flood zone, Delaware’s design incorporated flood-resistance features; the design was tested during Superstorm Sandy later that year and performed well.
Delaware also assisted the Village in procuring $4.6 million in CWSRF funding for the upgrades, and for inflow and infiltration work.
