Summary:
The purpose of this project is to reconstruct the Logan Pump Station mechanical pumping system. The pumps are past their useful service life and water demand projections have changed system pressures requiring a need for new pump specifications. Additionally, the water disinfection system at the Logan Pump Station will be upgraded from gaseous chlorine to liquid sodium hypochlorite (bleach).
Background Information:

It was constructed over forty (40) years ago and this is the first major renovation to the mechanical pumping system. Work will be constructed on-site, independent from the existing Administration Building, to facilitate future improvement projects to the facility.
Fiscal Impact:
Estimated expenditure not to exceed: $4,838,000.00
Funding is derived from the Utilities Department Water Enterprise Fund.
