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

The City of Naples Water Treatment Plant (WTP) uses gaseous chlorine for disinfection. Over the last five years the WTP chlorine consumption has ranged from 158 to 190 tons of chlorine gas per year. This project will convert the Plant's disinfection treatment process from a gaseous chlorine application to a liquid sodium hypochlorite system. These improvements have become an industry standard and will provide a greater level of availability for future chemical requirements. Storage and use of gaseous chlorine is dangerous and poses a greater safety risk than the storage and use of liquid sodium hypochlorite. Additional benefits that will result from transitioning to liquid sodium hypochlorite from gaseous chlorine include cost savings associated with the City;s Risk Management Plan (RMP) and reduced maintenance and operating costs required for the gaseous chlorine system and scrubber system As of September 20, 2024, this project is included in the city's 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) *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.
