DANIELSON Two years after town officials held a ground-breaking ceremony marking the start of a multi-million upgrade project at the decades-old wastewater treatment plant, crews are poised to complete the work.
“The work is 90% done and we expect the project to be substantially finished by May,” Dave Capacchione, director of engineering and facilities, said on Thursday. “The project is within budget and we were able to do the work without any interruption in service.”
The two-year refurbishment project at the 50-year-old main facility off Wauregan Road focused on operational upgrades, including demolition work; replacing original parts too outdated to meet state and federal guidelines for the removal of nitrogen and phosphorous; and adding new components, such as four new pumps, aimed at making the plant run more efficiently.
