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

The South Rivanna Water Treatment Plant recently completed limited upgrades as part of the Urban Granular Activated Carbon project. Over the course of that project, several other significant needs were identified and assembled into a single project within this Capital Plan. The project components include, but are not limited to, the following: a new alum and fluoride storage facility; installation of two additional filters to meet firm capacity needs and new filter control panels; building around the lime storage facilities; the addition of a second variable frequency drive at the Raw Water Pump Station as well as other general pump station improvements; the relocation for the electrical gear from a sub terrain location at the Sludge Pumping Station to a new aboveground enclosure; a new administration building on site for additional office, meeting, and storage space; high service pump improvements and the addition of variable frequency drives to three of the pumps; sedimentation basin improvements; replacement of filter inlet valves and actuators; remodeling of the existing filter building for better lab and control space and painting throughout; new clarifier drives; and incoming electrical system improvements for the facility. Currently this facility operates at 80-90% of capacity and the identified upgrades will improve reliability and resiliency, particularly at higher flow rates. This project is in included in the City's or County's FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As of July 01, 2022, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
