Filtration for the Future
In 2013, the city of Barnesville, Georgie’s 30-year-old wastewater treatment plant was reaching the end of its useful life, so it found itself planning for a future of growth, progress, and a new, state-mandated <0.6 mg/L total phosphorus (TP) wastewater discharge limit.
The city contracted with Stevenson & Palmer Eng. Inc. to design and build a $12.5-million, 2.4-million-gal-per-day (mgd) wastewater treatment plant with the capacity to meet the needs of Barnesville’s 10,000 residential and business customers. Also, since the majority of its treated wastewater would discharge into nearby Tobeesofkee Creek, the system was required to meet the new state-mandated TP limits. Heyward Inc., located in Atlanta, helped secure the contract as Evoqua’s manufacturers’ representatives.
