Bar Screen Replacement
The existing headworks bar screen is in disrepair and has become less efficient over time. Large quantities of rags and debris are currently able to pass through the screen into the treatment process causing various problems throughout the system. A new bar screen will be purchased and installed as part of this project. This project was awarded to Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction on November 30, 2009. For more information on this project please contact Tom Kouretas at (831) 883-6178. |
Solar Power Project
The Agency sent out an RFP in July 2009 for proposals from Solar firms interested in entering into a Power Purchase Agreement with MRWPCA. Proposals were received from 4 firms, and a contract has been completed with Solar City to install a 1.1 MW photovoltaic array at the Regional Treatment Plant and to provide power to the Salinas Vally Reclamation Project facility. Construction began on this project in January 2010. If you have questions regarding this project please contact Tom Kouretas at (831) 883-6178. |
Digester Hot Water Loop Replacement
The Digester Hot Water Loop system underwent a series of failures in late 2008. This project will replace the hot water loop from our Cogeneration Building to the Digester Building including installation of four new spiral heat exchangers pre-purchased by the Agency from Gooch Thermal Systems. This project was awarded to Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction on November 30, 2009. If you have any questions regarding this project please contact Jennifer Gonzalez at (831) 883-6172. |
Wet Well Trolley System Replacement at 3 Pump Stations
The existing crane rail systems in the wet wells at Seaside, Fort Ord, and Salinas Pump Stations have corroded and become unusable. This project will remove the existing rails and replace them with new stainless steel rails for moving equipment when necessary. This project is currently under construction. Please contact Tom Kouretas at (831) 883-6178 for more information. |
Facility Coating Management Project (Year 4)
Due to the harsh environment associated with wastewater facilities, coupled with our close proximity to the ocean, coating maintenance has been a significant and on-going challenge. Techno Coatings, Inc. (Anaheim, CA) was retained to perform work associated with the fourth year of the ten year coating management project for a contract amount of about $134,000. Work on Year 4 of this project was completed at the end of December 2009. Contact Jennifer Gonzalez at (831)883-6172 for more information. |

Class A/B Water System Upgrades
The Class A and B Water Systems at the Regional Treatment Plant have had pressure and system control issues. This study will look at the existing systems and provide recommendations for upgrades that will address those issues. The water system control panel will also be replaced as part of this project. Proposals were received from five consultants on January 22, 2010. Staff is currently reviewing the proposals and will make a selection by mid-February. If you have any questions please call Jennifer Gonzalez at (831) 883-6172. |
Sluice Gate Modifications at 3 Pump Stations
The sluice gates at the Monterey and Seaside Pump Stations have become corroded over years of service. This project will remove and replace those existing gates with manually operated gates. The Fort Ord Pump Station currently has a hydraulically operated sluice gate which will be replaced with a manually operated gate. Removal of the Monterey and Seaside Pump Station sluice gates has already been completed. Concrete repair and installation of new sluice gates will be completed this fiscal year. Please contact Tom Kouretas at (831) 883-6178 for more information. |
Flapper Gate Replacement at 4 Pump Stations
The flapper gates in the wet well influent channels at the Seaside, Monterey, Fort Ord, and Salinas Pump Stations will be replaced as part of this project. Concrete repair of major concrete corrosion will also be included in this project. Please contact Tom Kouretas at (831) 883-6178 with any questions. |
Reeside Pump Station Odor Scrubber
The Reeside Pump Station is located adjacent to San Carlos Beach in Monterey. This project will result in the design of an odor control system for the Reeside Pump Station. Contact Garrett Haertel at (831)883-6176 for more information. |
Headworks Wet Scrubber Replacement
The wet scrubbers at the Headworks require intensive maintenance to remain in working order. Staff is looking into available alternative technologies to design and install a less maintenance-intensive system. For more information contact Garrett Haertel at (831) 883-6176. |
