The Town of Bennett has received a DOLA Grant to implement a recycled water system to deliver recycled water for irrigation use at key Town Parks. The first phase of the Recycled Water Storage and a pumping station for recycled water fill stations at the Town’s Wastewater Reclamation Facility had been completed. The construction and commission of the first phase was completed in December of 2020. Phase I enabled the Town to use Category 1 treated effluent for construction water uses by providing truck fill stations at the Town WWRF. Phase I work included lining the former treatment lagoon and conversion to a recycled water storage pond. The yard piping to divert treated effluent from the WWRF to the newly lined storage pond and a recycled water pumping station consisting of a concrete manhole (wet well) and submersible pumping system pump, piping, valves, controls, electrical, and two automated and metered construction water truck fill stations and one mobile fill station were also completed with Phase I.
After the first Phase was completed The Town hired MSK consulting to provide 60% Drawings for Phase 2 Recycled Water Pump Station.
The Town is now ready to receive proposals for the second phase of the Recycled Water Pump Station. This phase includes installation of a recycled water pumping and treatment station at the Town’s WWRF (for distribution).
Phase II:
The proposed Phase II Recycled Water Project will expand and enhance the Phase I project to enable the Town to deliver Category 2 recycled water to additional Town users besides construction users, and specifically irrigation users, with system framework provided. Additional users of recycled water include Town-owned parks and other irrigated community spaces as future users. Recycled water will be delivered to these sites using the planned purple pipe distribution system.
Phase II is expected to include the following improvements provided by the plans dated 3/28/2022 by MSK Consulting LLC:
1. A pump house and treatment system housing building
2. Additions or modifications to the Phase I wet well as needed
3. Relocation and addition or upgrade to the electrical service and associated equipment for the current pump station site into the new treatment building.
4. All necessary system controls, instrumentation and equipment.

5. All necessary and related system valves, piping, and flow metering.
Construction of the Phase II project is expected to be conducted using a Construction-Manager-at-Risk (CMAR) delivery model with a Guaranteed Maximum Price, with physical substantial completion time line goal of June 30, 2022.
