| SCOPE: |
| The existing Generostee Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in the mid to late 1960’s and has served the City of Anderson, Anderson County and Homeland Park Water and Sewer District well for more than 30 years. Due to increased flow contributions from all three entities, plus inflow and infiltration at times of significant rainfall, it was determined that the Influent Pump Station is incapable of handling the peak flow rates experienced during significant storm events. To help alleviate this situation, a wet weather pump station and storage reservoir system was designed and constructed upstream of the Influent Pump Station. The project consisted of a flow diversion structure, screening device, stormwater pump station, forcemain, two storage reservoirs, one of which is aerated, with related valves, piping, and controls. The flow diversion structure diverts flows exceeding the Influent Pump Station capacity through a screening device into the Stormwater Pump Station. The pump station consists of five (5) submersible pumps, each having a capacity of 4,200 gallons per minute (GPM). This flow is pumped through a 36-inch force main to the first storage reservoir, which is aerated. When the first reservoir is full, the second reservoir begins to fill. When the storm flow subsides, control valves are opened, and the two reservoirs are allowed to empty back into the gravity sewer leading to the Influent Pump Station. Design South's involvement in this project includes the preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report, preliminary design, field location surveys, final design, bidding, and construction services. |
