4 #13-Anaerobic Digesters Original upgrades identified in 2012 have been completed. Currently, additional upgrades outside the original project scope are required at this facility. Estimated cost of these outstanding upgrades is $290,000. These include: addition of a vortex mixing system to the primary digester, addition of upper and lower level gas leak detection systems, process valve and cover level senor upgrades, and continued sealing of concrete tank. 4

5 Anaerobic Digester: Current Mixing System This is our current Perth Gas Mixing System. The systems are obsolete and being replaced with more modern Vortex Mixing systems 5

6 All measurement Anaerobic units Digesters shown have NOT WORKED since the 1980 s Lack of proper equipment results in more time needed by the staff for daily measurements 6

7 Anaerobic Digester Level Sensing Device Anaerobic Digesters Shows current floating roof height based on volume of digesting sludge inside Has not been functional since the 1980 s 7

8 #16-Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Control Building Replacement of the external structure and roof have been completed. 8

9 New Roof of the Control Building: 2015 Anaerobic Digesters 9

10 Anaerobic Digesters Control Building Exterior: 2015 Aluminum siding has been completely removed, and new cinder block walls and modern windows and doors have been installed. 10

11 WWTP Control Building Upgrades to control building structure costs: Final Project Cost: $1,248,000 11

12 #18-Rt. 13 Interceptor Original interceptor installed when housing in the area was developed. Features a 15 sewer main made of Terra cotta. Flows through swamp and wetlands. Parts of the main have been compromised, resulting in this interceptor being a major source of infiltration in the system. As of 2015, this main has been identified as needing partial replacement and partial lining, and also a relocation in the area of Rt. 13 and Bath Road. During the PENNDOT Rt. 13 rehabilitation project, which began in 2014, part of this interceptor was relocated, as it was found to be in PENNDOT s planned retention basin. 12

13 Rt. 13 Interceptor This project has been moved to a priority 3 status, but the Authority's share of the portion relocated due to PennDOT must be funded Estimated funding need for this project: ($119,000) 13

14 #23-Pond Street Pump Station No upgrades or renovations have been done to this facility in over 25 years. Similar issues to that of the Lakeland Ave. Pumping Station. With upgrades, any new development in that area will be able to be added to the system without question to flow and overall station capacity. 14

15 Pond Street Pump Station Upgrades would update the outdoor controls & eliminate service in the Dry Well 15

16 Pond Street Pump Station Discharge valves have become inoperable and is at the end of its effective lifecycle 16

17 Pond Street Pump Station To be completed: Convert from dry pit lift station to submersible pumps & controls; add flow meter and emergency generator. Budget from Existing Funding: UNFUNDED 2015 Estimated Project Cost: $350,000 Remaining funding need for this project: ($350,000) 17

18 #26 & #27-WWTP & Main Pump Station Generators Both generators (gensets) are currently diesel powered equipment installed in In an emergency, these gensets supply power to keep the plant and main pumping station in operation while a power outage occurs and do so until power is restored. Newer equipment would be both more environmentally friendly as well as increase the overall efficiency and reliability when an emergency occurs. 18

19 Plant Generator Facility operates at least weekly to ensure reliability 19

20 Plant Generator Paul Yezzie explains to Authority officials the existing issues at this generator, including extensive corrosion and wear. 20

21 WWTP Generator Need for a complete replacement. Budget from Existing Funding: UNFUNDED 2015 Estimated Project Cost: $220,000 Remaining funding need for this projects: ($220,000) 21

22 Main Pump Station Generator This is the original generator and control panel that was installed in 1976 and reliability is in question 22

23 Main Pump Station Generator Need for a complete replacement. Budget from Existing Funding: UNFUNDED 2015 Estimated Project Cost: $80,000 Remaining funding need for this project: ($80,000) 23

24 #A-Harriman Pump Station Pump station has been upgraded, including replacement of corroded structures, piping & valves and addition of flow meter. Station is still in need of a generator, as current unit is roughly 40 years old. This upgrade is currently a priority 1 status Estimated funding need for this project: ($50,000) 24

26 New Projects as of 2015 Since the original review of the wastewater system in 2012, 6 additional projects have been identified as being of a priority 1 or 2 status. These projects are currently all UNFUNDED as of June

27 #B-Rotating Biological Contactors Housed in the main control building, these units are second stage to the plant s secondary treatment. The facility features 6 of these units, in total, however 2 units have been non-functional since All 6 of these units were originally installed in Since the original installations, repairs to these units has been extensive, however, the 2 units currently out of service are beyond repair and in need of replacement. 27

28 Rotating Biological Contactors Broken in the middle of the unit 28

36 #D-WWTP Primary & Secondary Clarifier Drives Located at the Borough s Wastewater Treatment Plant. All 4 units were installed in 1976 and are used 24/7. The primary clarifiers remove floating and settleable solids found early in the wastewater treatment process. Secondary clarifiers act as additional clarifiers, but are placed after the secondary treatment process. These units act to provide a buffer and flow regulator to the overall wastewater treatment process, and lessen the organic loading on the biological process. 36

45 #F-Trickling Filter Wall Repair Located at the Borough s Wastewater Treatment Plant. The trickling filter is the main part of the wastewater treatment process, and involves many tons of rock media. The fist-sized rock media is contained by these walls. These trickling filters were originally installed sometime prior to 1976, as they were part of the original wastewater treatment plant. The walls were not included in the 1976 overhaul of the Borough s wastewater treatment plant. Several areas have been identified as compromised. 45
