Project Construction
Planning, design, and construction of a new drinking water treatment facility of this size is a complex and lengthy process (the original design and construction of Borden Brook Reservoir, Cobble Mountain Reservoir, and West Parish Filters took more than 30 years). The Commission is accelerating and advancing this process as quickly as possible with plans to complete construction in 2028.
Starting October 2024:
Demolition and construction on your new water treatment plant
Phase 1 Construction
Started 2021 and was completed in 2023.
Clearwell and Backwash Pump Station Replacement
The replacement of the existing 1925 clearwell and 1974 backwash pumps with more modern, efficient, and reliable equipment is now complete. Construction of a new Backwash Facility, which includes a new clearwell and backwash pumps, was completed in November 2023. This will allow treatment and delivery of drinking water to continue while the new plant is under construction.
