Award of Merit - Best Water/Environment: Spokane Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility, NLT Phase 1 and 2
The project team worked with the city of Spokane to establish a next level of treatment filtration system by adding a tertiary membrane treatment to remove phosphorus. The system improves the quality of effluent released into the Spokane River, thereby enhancing the overall health of the waterway.
The facility is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving a combined storm and sanitary sewer system for a community of 210,000. And with future UV disinfection, the treated water will achieve a Class A standard, allowing for reuse of the water for irrigation, dust control, industrial processes, enhancing wetlands and recharging groundwater supplies.
