Document Description
Penitencia Water Treatment Plant (PWTP) Residuals Management Project (Project) involves improvements to various components of the PWTP Residuals Management System. The existing PWTP operations are constrained due to inefficiencies of the Residuals Management System in meeting current regulatory standards. The project will address the following components of the PWTP Residuals Management System: washwater handling and treatment, sludge handling and dewatering, and sedimentation basin sludge withdrawal. The project would address age, capacity, efficiency, and reliability issues with the existing Residuals Management System. Additionally, the project would ensure that the PWTP efficiently and reliably provides potable water to retailers in Valley Water’s service area and meets current regulatory standards. The project construction is proposed to begin in 2025 and be complete by 2030.
