Project Description
The next phase of the MLE project will begin in May of 2023. The first project will be the decommissioning of the Cannon wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) which will be replaced with a pump station to divert flows for treatment at Schooner WWTP. Schooner WWTP will be upgraded to treat the additional flows from Cannon pump station which includes replacement of other equipment to improve the health, safety, and overall reliability of the facility. At Galleon and Schooner pump stations, the mechanical and electrical components will be replaced, and the remaining pump stations will receive new communication infrastructure.
The next phase of the
