Town of Wayne

PROJECT PURPOSE

The Wayne Wastewater Treatment Facility consists of two (2) facultative primary cells, two (2) secondary cells, and a lift station which pumps the effluent from the primary cells to the secondary cells. Effluent is disposed of by land application (irrigation) on 62 acres of cultivated land and Bermuda pasture. The transfer lift station is more than 40 years and in poor condition. The control panel and check valves are not working. The Town proposes to replace the lift station with a package station and separate valve vault.

EVIDENCE

Lift station failure resulted in temporary bypass pump in use to prevent overflow. The parts required to repair the lift station are obsolete and no longer in production.
