Issue: UV Disinfection was initially designed into the original plant. For unknown reasons this system was never operated or maintained and fell into permanent disrepair. A new system is required to comply with the new Long Term 2 Enhanced Treatment Rule requiring additional treatment techniques for our plant. This will require new reactors at a cost of $190,000.00 construction costs for the installation of $250,000.00 and a recommended $63,000.00 for three (3) years annual maintenance and warranty.
Solution: Sole source acquisition of the Wedeco UV Reactors, hiring of contractor with experience in the file of UV installation.
Result: Compliance with the new Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (T.C.E.Q.) enhanced treatment rule and prevent continuous Public Notice.
