Renovation of a water / sewer project in Delaware, Ohio. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

The UF membrane permeability or overall flow thru the membranes will deteriorate over time. As the UF membranes age fiber breaks will also steadily increase which will also lower flow thru the membranes. As production decreases the need for replacement at this time will be necessary to be able to provide the daily water demand for our customers. The conservative estimates for life of these UF membranes are 7-10 years. The manufacturer claims these UF membranes will go 10 years and current projections show this to be true. In December 2024 these UF membranes will be 10 years old and most likely they will need to be replaced soon. We currently clean these UF Membranes every 3 months when permeability decreases to the point of losing design flow thru these membranes. At the end of the life of the UF membranes the cleaning frequency will substantially increase. Having this funding available when necessary will ensure the ability to provide the necessary volume of water for the daily needs of our customers. This project is in included in the City of Delaware FY 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of February 8, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
