Renovation of a water / sewer project in Greensboro, North Carolina. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project.

Replace components of Mitchell Treatment Plant filter bottoms as required to maintain integrity. Leopold IMF caps will need to be replaced at a minimum with the improved slotted caps. Inspect filter bottoms for air scour integrity and effluent channels for structural soundness. One filter set can be refurbished every six months which spreads cost over three years. Leopold IMF caps have a track record of failure after 10+ years. Our caps started coming apart around year 12. We modified our installation with oversized fasteners which corrected the issue but are now approaching 20 years. Failures can be expected within a few years. Cost estimate is based on $750,000 per filter set but could be lower if only the caps need to be replaced. As of November 14, 2023, this project is included in the FY 23-24 to FY 28-33 CIP and funding for construction is allotted for FY 25-26. *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.
