Services >> Wastewater Collection & Treatment
Wastewater management has become a national priority since the 1972 Clean Water Act Amendments were enacted.
Treatment plant effluent limitations have become refined, standards for effluent limitations have become more
technical, and federal and state grants-in-aid funding for municipal projects has decreased while owner
operational budgets have increased.
M.D. Wessler & Associates is aware of the financial constraints placed on municipal governments to reach their
goals through our affiliation with the national and state trade groups. Our knowledge of various funding programs
and options coupled with engineering expertise has helped many of our clients obtain their goals.
Our innovative approach enabled us to complete the Design and Construction Administration of the first Biolac Extended Aeration Treatment Plant in the State of Illinois.
A recently completed project was the Cumberland Water Pollution Control Facility at a cost of $5.4M.
The project received a Merit Award in the ACEC Indiana Engineering Excellence Award competition.
Some of the improvements included the following:
- New 4-pump raw sewage pump station
- New headworks structure with aerated grit removal, fine screening and influent flow metering
- Two new SBR tanks capable of future expansion to 2 mgd
- Post-equalization/aeration structure
- UV disinfection and effluent flow metering
- Conversion of an existing package plant to an aerobic digester
- New sludge dewatering system with sludge feed pump, grinder, polymer system and 75-gpm centrifuges
- New emergency generator
- New control building with office, laboratory and electrical facilities
