Treatment Plant Upgrades Proposed For City Sewage System
City engineers proposed a series of modifications to the treatment plant to reduce bypassing and improve flow management. Estimated costs include 9,200 for flow monitoring and gates, 17,800 for variable speed pumps, 14,900 for chlorine tank upgrades, 78,000 for an aerobic digestor, and 10,000 for macerators. The plan also recommends requiring Biddeford Textile to use the collection system at a steadier rate and adds a 20,000 gallon septic sludge tank to handle about 3,000 gallons from 2,000 tanks citywide.
