Wheatland Wastewater Improvements
Wheatland, IN
DCCM led an internal and external team of engineers to design and develop a new sanitary sewer system for the Town of Wheatland. This system included designing three positive displacement blowers for a new extended aeration plant along with several miles of new low pressure force main, one lift station, and a package wastewater treatment plant for the town of 500 people. The team evaluated wastewater lagoons for Wheatland being crucial for maintaining compliance with regulations and ensuring effective treatment. One of the key challenges in the design of project was ensuring the project met the Town’s limited budget, supported by a $14M SRF grant award for water/wastewater. Through a combination of creative design and funding solutions and selection of a minimally invasive technology such as low pressure sewer, DCCM was able to secure reasonable bids that allowed the project to proceed.
