Last Friday, the City of Bunnell, PC Construction and CPH gathered with local officials to celebrate the official groundbreaking for the Bunnell Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion project. This project is part of the City’s continued efforts to bring the plant up to advanced wastewater treatment standards and to meet environmental sustainability requirements.
The original facility, which was built in the early 1970s, has only received two upgrades to its processes – in 1992 and 2004. The current expansion will double the facility’s treatment capacity to 1.2 mgd and essentially eliminate all wet weather discharges, significantly reducing total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads to receiving waters.
“The expansion of our Wastewater Treatment Plant will more than double the City’s ability to treat and process wastewater,” said Mayor Catherine D. Robinson, City of Bunnell. “This is a testament to what we can achieve as we work together for the City of Bunnell and it underscores our commitment to preparing for Bunnell’s growth, progress, and continued excellence.”
This expansion will provide a solid foundation for Bunnell’s infrastructure to protect the health and safety of residents, businesses and visitors both today and in the future.
“PC Construction is excited to partner with the City of Bunnell to upgrade its wastewater treatment facility,” said PC Construction President / CEO Matt Cooke. “This region is home to many of our employee owners, all who are committed to securing safe water and wastewater infrastructure for Florida’s future. This project is a shining example of how improving aging facilities will keep growing communities safe, sustainable and vibrant.”
