Yellow River Treatment Plant Upgrade Consolidates Six Facilities
Serving the Yellow River basin in Georgia, this $245-million upgrade allows Gwinnett County to divert, consolidate and treat the flow from six aging wastewater treatment plants into a new facility, saving more than $2.4 million in annual operating costs.
The project was designed and built in overlapping phases to minimize the construction schedule and keep the existing water reclamation facility in operation. All existing plant facilities were demolished and new advanced treatment facilities and systems were constructed atop the old site while maintaining uninterrupted plant operations.
