Construction of Iron Removal Plants |
|
The Water Authority is pleased to announce that a contract was awarded by the Board of Directors at the board meeting held on Monday, July 26, 2010 for the design of two new iron removal facilities. These facilities will remove the naturally occurring iron that is in the groundwater which is supplied to Elmont and parts of Franklin Square and Valley Stream.One plant will be constructed in Franklin Square and will treat one well, the other plant will be constructed in Elmont and will treat two wells. One of the wells at the Elmont site is a high capacity well which has been out of service for over 15 years due to high levels of iron.The Water Authority plans to fast track the installation of both iron removal plants, including the design, review and approval of regulatory agencies, bidding and construction of this project. It is planned to build the two plants concurrently.
