This project will increase the lifespan, capacity, performance and safety of  the Water Reclamation Facility's solids dewatering process.

The City of Bend Water Reclamation Facility's solids handling dewatering process has maintenance, redundancy, and operational challenges.* The system is nearing capacity, and there is heavy corrosion in the building and on the equipment, resulting in deterioration of assets.

The objective of the Solids Handling Improvement Project is to upgrade the solids dewatering process to ensure the following:

• Increase in dewatering performance while continuing to produce Class A biosolids

• Increase capacity

• Increase asset lifespan

• Provide a safe work environment for staff

This project is funded by the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF).

* The dewatering process removes water from the solids before they are land applied.
