Funding Request: $2,000,000
Recipient: Town of Lovettsville
Address: 6 E Pennsylvania Avenue, Leesburg, VA 20180
Project Name: Equalization Tank Basin
Project Description: The project would consist of the addition of an equalization basin, pump station, piping, valving and controls necessary to divert excessive WWTP influent flow due to heavy rain events, into an EQ basin to allow manageable and consistent flow for optimal treatment and to reduce the likelihood of plant upsets and illegal discharges. The excess influent from the EQ basin would then be introduced to the plant as high flows subsided. Project is estimated to be $1 million. This project is necessary as heavy rain events can increase the incoming flow into the plant 4 to 5 times the normal flows making operations difficult and increasing the likelihood of a plant upset resulting in a sewage discharge into the state receiving waters. Since the WWTP influent gravity flows into the plant, there is no real control mechanism to handle the incoming influent flows which can compromise the plants’ treatment abilities. With the proposed equalization basin, a portion of the influent could be diverted into the basin keeping the flow to the plant consistent and manageable promoting optimal treatment. As the flows return to normal the excess in the basin can then be introduced to the plant. The results will be consistent, manageable flow which will protect the environment and the population downstream of the plant. It will also help the Town by remaining in compliance with State and Federal Environmental agencies.
