(If other municipalities are involved in this project, please indicate the names of the municipalities.) Description My Town will upgrade the ground water treatment plant based on the assessment of the water treatment facility competed by a certified consultant. The ground water treatment plant will have the existing media beds and air scour replaced. A dual media design of Manganese Greensand and filter coal, with the coal layer on the of the media bed, is the optima design for this specific situation. The coal topping layer will not intermix with the Manganese Greensand, thus providing maximum media lifespan and performance, while reducing the backwashing frequency required to rejuvenate the greensand. The replacement of the air scour will also improve media cleaning capabilities through an air wash process thus reducing water usage necessary 1

(For information regarding benefits see - Attachment B and - Attachment C) Local Benefits Local benefits will be expressed through water purification and a better quality of water. Reduced water consumption of the plant with fewer backwashing requirements to retain water clarity will reduce water wastage. Also, reduced required daily hours of operation by the treatment plant operator will allow funding to be redistributed. Regional Benefits (Relevant information includes: other municipalities which share costs, joint municipal ownership of the asset, usage by other municipalities, and other information such as existing service agreements, shared planning, or capacity building and the names of the municipality(s) that receives the regional benefit.)
