Project No. 23505

Project Start Date: Summer 2028

Estimated Completion Date: TBD

Project Manager: George Brant 703-771-6743

Project Description: This project replaces 18 year old equipment with an efficient solution for accumulating, mixing and removing Water Treatment Plant (WTP) sludge. The current process of mixing, storing and maintaining WTP sludge is inefficient due to excess energy consumption and manual labor. The improvement will install modernized equipment and save labor and energy expenses at the WTP.

Project Updates:  As of March 2026 - A preliminary engineering report has been completed. As part of a separate 3R project, the sludge tank mixing system will be replaced in 2026. Additional improvements such as enhanced sludge and water separation equipment for disposal of sludge will be evaluated in Fiscal year 2029 as there is no funding for this project until then.
