Capital Improvement Program Construction Brief
April 2018
Active Construction
Water Supply Program: Quarry/Chattahoochee/Hemphill

Update:  The tunnel boring machine has reached the three mile mark. Two miles of tunneling remains to complete the five mile path to reach the Chatthoochee River.

Excavation and rebuilding of an existing pump station is still underway at the R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation Center, located at 2440 Bolton Road NW. Controlled blasting is necessary to complete the construction shaft and a short tunnel connecting the shaft to a proposed Chattahoochee River Intake pump station. Construction of two new pump stations continues at the Bellwood Quarry and the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant sites.

The Water Supply Program will increase Atlanta’s reserve water supply from three to five days to 30 to 90 days. The $300 million investment includes the construction of a five-mile tunnel connecting the Chattahoochee River, the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, and the former Bellwood Quarry, which will be transformed into a 2.4 billion gallon reservoir. The Water Supply Program is scheduled for completion by September 2019.

Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief Project:
Rodney Cook Sr. Park in Historic Vine City
Update: Watershed Management contractors continue to perform soil remediation work at the Cook Park site. Crews are also decommissioning water lines requiring temporary water service interruptions on neighboring streets. 

The project is designed to help alleviate flooding while providing increased green space in Vine City. The project consists of installing a new capacity relief storage facility in the area, installing 2,200 linear feet of 60-inch capacity relief trunk line, re-routing 1,100 LF of 96-inch combined trunk sewer by installing pipeline in the right-of-way along the street in the Vine City area, remediating and relocating sewers.

R.M. Clayton Sand Filter Media Installation and Refurbishment Project
Update : Eighty-percent of the R.M. Clayton Water Reclamation and Filter Media Change-out and Refurbishment project is complete with new media installed. Seventy-two percent of all media has been removed. Ninety-percent of all media to complete the refurbishment is onsite. Media has been removed from Filter #14 and #10. At least 16 of 22 filter replacements are complete.
The R.M. Clayton WRC treatment process removes biological and chemical impurities from the wastewater in three phases: primary treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment. Primary sludge and biological solids that are removed during the wastewater treatment process are reduced in the digestion process before being dewatered and incinerated or hauled to a landfill. This project will restore the effectiveness of the filtration process, reduce the backwash frequency and duration, reduce the maintenance costs and improve overall plant reliability in meeting permit limits. The project is estimated to be completed in June 2018.
