WQCF Phase 3A Expansion

WQCF Phase 3A Expansion About the Project The Wastewater Quality Control Facility (WQCF) Phase 3A Expansion Project is a critical infrastructure improvement initiative designed to accommodate the City’s projected population growth and the associated increase in wastewater treatment demand. The project will expand the treatment capacity of the facility while enhancing operational reliability, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability. In addition to increasing treatment capacity, the project includes significant upgrades to aging infrastructure throughout the facility. Improvements will be made to both the primary and secondary treatment processes, including the rehabilitation and modernization of filtration and disinfection systems. These upgrades will improve treatment efficiency, optimize plant performance, enhance effluent quality, and ensure the facility continues to meet current and future regulatory requirements. As part of the Phase 3A Expansion Project, the existing Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system will be comprehensively upgraded to support the expanded treatment facilities and replace aging automation and control infrastructure. These enhancements will improve system reliability, cybersecurity, operational efficiency, and data accessibility while providing operators with advanced tools for process control, alarm management, trend analysis, and reporting. Project Status The project was awarded to Auburn Constructors on April 15,2025. The project is in construction and projected to be completed by end of 2027. Funding Sources: Local (Bond/CFD)
