Treatment Plant Rehabilitation

Estimated 20-Year Capital Investment: $121M

The Greater Peoria area is served by one wastewater treatment plant, which is located on Darst Street. 

The  treatment plant was built in the late 1920s and early 1930s.  While modifications and maintenance to the plant have occurred over the years, including installation of a modern enhanced biological phosphorous removal process and a full supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, the mere age of the plant alone will require an investment in a multi-year rehabilitation.

The Treatment Plant Game Plan:

• Implement improvement and replacement plan and automate the wastewater plant for dry weather operations
• Update SCADA systems to support more efficient operations
• ​Utilize advanced asset management techniques by standing up computerized maintenance management system
• Based on output from the advanced asset management system, comprehensive analytics on entirety of assets to refine mid-term and long-term capital priorities
• Seeking FEMA grant funding, improve the levee surrounding the treatment plant.
