Recommended projects include construction of a new disinfection facility to <br /> replace the existing chlorine building (constructed circa 1967). The chlorine building and associated <br /> equipment have exceeded their design life and generate increasing maintenance demands on a limited staff, <br /> system demands on plant capacity are increasing, and higher risks and administrative costs associated with <br /> the compressed gaseous chlorine system could be reduced. A new primary disinfection facility has been <br /> designed to address these issues. The new facility will use liquid sodium hypochlorite as the disinfectant, <br /> which will improve plant safety and help streamline the administrative burden of chemical management at <br /> the plant. The plant is designed to account for anticipated future production demands on the plant. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize a call for bids for construction of the Water Filtration Plant's new disinfection facility. <br /> 21 <br />
