Shifrin, Inc., is designing improvements to Ste. Genevieve&rsquo;s wastewater
treatment plant that will make it easier to treat wastewater during high-water
events, and will extend the plant&rsquo;s useful life. </span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--><!--[endif]--></span></p>
<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">During wet
weather conditions, the wastewater treatment plant flows are five to six times
greater than during dry weather conditions, making it difficult to properly
treat the wastewater. A new 450,000-gallon-capacity reinforced concrete flow
equalization tank, which will employ a high-pressure water-cannon tank cleaning
system, will allow the treatment plant operators to divert a significant amount
of the flow to the tank during wet weather conditions. After wet weather
conditions subside, the wastewater stored in the flow equalization tank will be
pumped at a lower rate into the plant for treatment. The installation of new
submersible pumps at Lift Station No. 1 will allow the operator to better control
the rate of flow from the lift station into the treatment plant.</span></p>

<span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;\">According to John Lauth, Horner &amp; Shifrin&rsquo;s project manager, &ldquo;Our
primary goals involve maintaining operations of the existing Lift Station No. 1
and the wastewater treatment plant while the improvements are being
constructed, and optimizing the new facilities to provide cost-effective
equipment and construction to fit the City&rsquo;s project budget. The updated
facilities are being designed to meet current codes and Missouri Department of
Natural Resources requirements.&rdquo; </span><!--EndFragment--></p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"4";s:10:"category_1";s:2:"68";}
