Project Title: City of Iberia-Wastewater Project
Purpose: This project will eliminate grinder pumps, upgrade three lift stations, and bring the lagoon wastewater treatment into compliance with the newly issued Missouri State Operating Permit (MSOP) limits.
As many grinder pumps as possible will be eliminated and replaced with gravity sewer extensions. This will save the city $50,000.00 a year on grinder pump maintenance.
Smoke tests of the gravity mains will be conducted to determine where there are specific defects in the collection system.
The lift station repairs will include replacing inoperable pumps and the replacement/rehabilitation of valve pits that are corroded. Reconstruction of the West Main Street lift station will be completed to eliminate the flooding of the facility when heavy rains occur.
A NitrOX process will be used to make the current lagoon compliant with MSOP limits.
Locations: All work being performed is located within the city limits of Iberia.
