JTAC Presentation and Tour
Thursday, July 12th, 2018
Description:
The Southern Delivery System started delivering potable water to the distribution system on April 28, 2016 and a major component of that system was the water treatment plant. The Edward W. Bailey Water Treatment Plant is a 50 million-gallon-per-day conventional treatment facility owned and operated by Colorado Springs Utilities. The plant came online in April of 2016. The facility follows a treatment train of sulfuric acid, ferric sulfate and a high molecular weight bridging polymer, flash mixing, flocculation, sedimentation, intermediate ozonation, biological filtration and disinfection with sodium hypochlorite. This 50 mgd facility utilities a consolidated facility and is the first Colorado facility that utilizes intermediate ozone/biofiltration. The filters are high-rate and approved at a loading rate of 10 gpm/sq ft. The plant is highly automated with remote operation at night.
Speakers:
Dan Dilts, Daron Hoehn, and Matt Hennigan are all operators at the Bailey WTP. Steve Harris is the mechanical specialist at the plant and Vincent Spaziani is a senior instrumentation and electrical controls specialist. Vincent Hart is a senior project manager with Carollo Engineers, Inc. The tour will be given by a mix of the people above providing different perspectives.

In an effort to accommodate increased flow as well as to meet new discharge permit requirements for metals and nutrients, the Town of Georgetown Colorado's wastewater treatment plant underwent an extensive upgrade in 2009-2011. The Most notable upgrades included the addition of an Integrated Fixed-film Activated Sludge (IFAS) system, and an adsorptive media system for tertiary polishing before discharge. During the tour attendees will get an overview of the IFAS technology and see the system in work for BNR and BOD reduction. We will also run through the tertiary filtration process that removes heavy metals and Phosphorus. Georgetown is ahead of the curve as it relates to what’s coming down the road with Regulation 85…Guanella Pass Brewery (GPB) was started in 2015 by Steve and Stacey Skalski along with Brewmaster Jon Srother. GPB has about 10 wonderful beers you can try before, during and after a special RMWEA members-only tour. Hang out in downtown Georgetown as long as you like;
