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

The City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) has two emergency generators, 1,200 KW and a 1,500 KW, capable of providing power to operate the entire plant during periods when FPL service is not available. These units were installed in 1986 and 1997 and are now 36 and 25 years old, respectively. As critical equipment, the generators have exceeded their useful lives and require replacement due to unavailability of spare parts, maintainability, and reliability. As the likelihood of hardware failures increases due to the age and condition of the equipment, there is a concern of an increasing risk of equipment failures with operating the system which could lead to significant equipment downtime, particularly with the long lead times associated with the replacement of this type of equipment. The recommended replacements will comprise of four (4) generators that will replace the existing two (2) units that service the Plant. This design will provide a greater level of redundancy and better serve the Plant’s electrical demands. As of September 12, 2022, this project is included in the City of Naples FY 2023 - 2027 Budget CIP.
