West Hartford Water Treatment Facility
4. Notice of Scoping for West Hartford Water Treatment Facility – North Storage Basin
Municipality where proposed project might be located: MDC - West Hartford
Address of Possible Project Location:WHWTF 1420 Farmington Avenue, West Hartford, CT 06107
Project Description: The West Hartford Water Treatment Facility (WHWTF), owned and operated by the Metropolitan District (the District), is a slow sand filtration plant that treats an average daily flow of 44 million gallons per day (mgd) and a maximum daily flow of 86 mgd. Source waters from Barkhamsted and Nepaug Reservoirs flow by gravity via a system of raw water transmission mains to Reservoir No. 5 and the treatment plant. Finished water is stored in two filtered water basins, a 6 million gallon (MG) basin built in 1918 and a 9 MG basin built in 1925. In November 2006, Tighe & Bond prepared the Filtered Water Basin Interconnection Study, which evaluated alternatives that would provide additional flexibility to plant operations. One of the recommendations of the study was construction of a 2.5 MG wire-wound concrete storage tank. Completion of this storage tank will provide additional flexibility in the operations of the West Hartford Water Treatment Facility.
