The County’s Northeast Regional Utility Service Area (NERUSA) will receive AWS finished water from the PRWC’s Southeast Wellfield Project as a base load through a regional transmission system. The proposed NERUSA AWS Receiving Facility will receive the finished water and incorporate it into the NERUSA water distribution system. The Project includes a meter/control valve station, ground storage reservoir, chemical feed facilities, a high service pump station, electrical/SCADA systems, and related site improvements. Additionally, a new public supply well is included to replace the existing public supply wells at the Edgehill Water Production Facility. The site will be accessed from Holly Hill Road via an existing 30-foot right-of-way.
The County has requested that the Consultant provide project management, final design, permitting, bid phase and construction phase services for the AWS Receiving Facility.
