WPCA
The WPCA is responsible for the management and oversight of the Town's Wastewater Treatment Facilities (WWTFs).
The WPCA prepared Phase One and Two of the Wastewater Facilities Plan used for the upgrade of the Town'sWaste Water Facilities. Phase one included reviewing the existing flows, loadings and capacities of the two WWTFs, and projected the future flows and loads for the next 20 years as the first step in the planning for the upgrades of the Town's wastewater collection and treatment facilities. Phase two included developing the upgrade needs and estimated costs of the two WWTFs to meet newly imposed effluent limits, and address the worn and aging structures and equipment at each WWTF.
As part of the Wastewater Facilities Planning effort, the WPCA conducted smoke testing, dye testing, manholes inspections, and house-to-house inspections for sump pumps to identify and locate sources of extraneous stormwater entering the sanitary sewer system. They also prepared a feasibility evaluation of the relocation of the existing Quail Ridge Pump Station as the initial step in planning for the needed upgrade of this 30 year old pump station and initiated the design of the relocation of the existing Quail Ridge Pump Station.
