Site work for a water / sewer project in Topeka, Kansas. Conceptual plans call for site work for a water / sewer project.

This project is for the design and installation of all equipment and appurtenances required to update the Thickening Process at the Oakland Wastewater Treatment Plant. The process thickens the waste activated sludge and then is pumped to the Anaerobic Digestion process. This is a key component in ensuring that the biological requirement limits of the Plant effluent discharge continue to be met. The existing system is approximately 50 years old. Due to the antiquated system both in age and technology, it is becoming more costly to continue to perform effective maintenance to ensure the most efficient process is met. As of July 12, 2022, this project is currently in the FY 2022-2027 CIP . Funding for this project is allotted in the city's capital improvement plan for construction Fy 2023. A firm timeline has not been established; however, construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
