T-Screen Success In Indiana As Retrofit Pays Off
Before a series of upgrades (totaling $27M over 5 years), at the City of Washington’s wastewater treatment plant in Indiana, even the smallest amount of rainfall would cause an overflow.
$27M is a significant sum of money of course, but as any municipal works superintendent will tell you, funding is (and this will be an extremely polite way of putting it), a long and complicated process.
Prior to the installation in 2012 of a fixed bar screen, Superintendent Scott Rainey and his team at the City of Washington’s Wastewater Treatment plant could be forgiven for any choice words uttered as they painstakingly pulled out large debris from a fixed overflow weir (installed in 1988), that was overwhelmed during storm events.
