State Revolving Fund Loan & Town of North Attleborough and Town of Plainville Appropriations
Engineer:
Tigh & Bond, Inc., Westfield, MA
Contractor:
Carlin Contracting Co., Inc., Waterford, CT
Project Components and Benefits to the Ten Mile River and Narragansett Bay:
The North Attleborough Wastewater Treatment Facility treats wastewater from the Towns of North Attleborough and Plainville. The average daily design flow rate for the facility is 4.61 million gallons per day.
The upgrade project includes three major components:
1.
Nitrogen Removal
Nitrogen will be removed biologically through an advanced 5 stage Bardenpho system that will be capable of reducing the effluent total nitrogen concentration of less than 5 milligrams per liter (projected future limit). The system includes installation of energy-efficient high-speed turbo blowers for aerating the wastewater.
2.
Phosphorous Removal
Phosphorous will be removed biologically through the 5 stage Bardenpho system and chemically through addition of a metal salt coagulant and solids removal with a cloth-media filtration system. This will be the first wastewater treatment plant in the United States designed to achieve a total phosphorus permit limit of 0.1 milligrams per liter using the cloth-media filtration technology.
3.
Other Upgrades
Various systems will be upgraded, including pumping and electrical systems to accommodate the new equipment and to replace aging infrastructure.
The Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal Upgrade Project is in the final phase of an Administrative Order implementation plan from the U.S Environmental Protection Agency to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous loading from the North Attleborough Wastewater Treatment Facility to the Ten Mile River and Narragansett Bay.
We had a spectacular day for our annual Touch-The-Trucks event! More than 500 people attended the annual event and were able to explore more than 25 pieces of equipment in celebration of National Public Works Week.
The children enjoyed having the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seat and discover what the world of DPW, Fire, Police, Construction, Trash/Recycling, Electric, Recreation and Postal trucks are like. The staff was most welcoming and patient explaining details of the trucks and allowing excited parents and children to safely climb aboard. They were able to see, touch, interact with and learn about special vehicles and big trucks and their functions.
We would like to extend a big thanks to the DPW, Fire, Police, Parks and Recreation, Landfill, North Attleborough Electric, Case Companies, Achins, Morse Sand and Gravel, Waste Management and United Postal Service for bringing their sparkling clean trucks, cruisers, fire engines, ambulance, mail truck, specialized equipment and more.
We are also so very grateful to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly on a beautiful day to make sure everything ran smoothly. We hope you enjoyed the fourth annual Touch The Trucks event and look forward to hearing about your experience and how we can make it even better and bigger for next Spring.
Our most heartfelt thanks to all!!!!!!!!
